چکیده:
During the first Pahlavi period (until 1937), Iran had ten provinces, a number that increased significantly during the second Pahlavi period. Since no 'criteria' have been announced in the published laws regarding country divisions, and various provinces and counties have been established under different conditions, identifying one or more specific rules and criteria in country divisions seems difficult and somewhat impossible. For this reason, it became necessary to compare the course of changes in country divisions with the trend of the country's socio-political developments, so that through this process, possibilities regarding the motives and reasons for changes in country divisions could be proposed. The present research, which was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method, examined various hypotheses regarding country divisions and, after evaluating the degree of conformity of each with the trend of country divisions, reached the conclusion that the main determining factor in drawing the map of country divisions and regulating administrative laws and regulations during the Pahlavi era was the consolidation of the sovereignty of the central government and the court.

1 It is not unlikely that during the Pahlavi era, despite the decline in the status of Bushehr, the central government's desire for direct control over coastal areas and reducing the sphere of influence of Shiraz, considering these precedents, led to the separation of the coastal counties of the seventh and eighth provinces.
Considering the fact that after the coup of 28 Mordad 1332, the court and the institution of monarchy returned to the arena of government and country administration with new power, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and his government apparatus intended to strengthen the central government's control over various parts of the country by increasing the number of provinces.
Law on the Formation of Provinces and Governorates and Instructions for Governors This law is the first codified modern law of national divisions in Iran, which remained in effect without significant change until the end of the Qajar rule: "Chapter One: On the Division of the Country and the Redefinition of Local District Boundaries" Bahram Amirahmadian, "National Divisions," What Do I Know About Iran?, No. 47 (Tehran, Office of Cultural Research, 1383), p.
