Addressing the issue of establishing development-oriented structures, governments might face either of the following situations: they find themselves capable of engaging target society in programs and projects or they fail in doing so which would lead to independent actions by people themselves. Complex social problems and meanwhile population growth, would inevitably make primary governmental structures inefficient in achieving development objectives thoroughly, as a result governments should take active steps towards empowering and enlightening people in a way that they become capable of organizing their efforts in accordance with development objectives, public goods and public benefits. When underdeveloped societies find out about the influential role of non-governmental structures in the development process, governments would have two options: facilitating the engagement process for the society, or witnessing local societies authentically establishing bottom-up planning and implementation structures. Noticing the importance of organization and engagement seem much more crucial in case of villages, where in comparison with urban areas, suffer from deficiencies in engagement structures. This paper based on Hermeneutic analysis approach, takes advantage of literature study and two case studies of rural development policy making and implementation (European Union and Pakistan), in suggesting a theoretical framework for mobilizing social structures with the purpose of supporting development policies in Iran's rural areas.

The revolution of the fourth generation of technology has significantly transformed organizational processes. To succeed in such circumstances, the development of human capital compatible with this generation is an undeniable necessity. This study aimed to design and present the human capital 4.0 development model in the Tehran municipality. This research was exploratory in terms of purpose. Data were analyzed with a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) approach. In the first stage, the qualitative method and in-depth interviews were used to identify the components of the model. Participants in the quality section were 17 university experts and senior managers of Tehran municipalities who were purposefully selected. In the second stage, to fit the designed model in the qualitative part, the quantitative method and the structural equation modeling approach were used. The statistical population of this section included managers, experts, and employees of the municipalities of Greater Tehran, where 336 people were selected by Kline's (2005) formula and stratified random sampling method. The data collection tool in this section was a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity and reliability was confirmed. Qualitative data analysis was performed by a coding method using MaxQDA software and quantitative data analysis was performed by Smart PLS software. The results of the qualitative section showed that the 4.0 generation human capital model includes 64 primary codes, 11 sub-categories, and 4 main categories of digital competency, digital skills, digital organization, and digital resources. The results of the quantitative part of the designed pattern have an acceptable fit.
