Abstract
Considering the broad approach of innovation and the with respect to the innovation development depending on social, economic, institutional of a region as well as path dependency, one of the basic principles of regional innovation policy is the lack of compatibility of policies of successful regions in other regions due to different policy context and path dependence. In developing countries such as Iran, due to the wide variety of cultural and territorial conditions, the importance of this issue is increasing. On the other hand, considering the increasing attention of policy makers to the issues of regional innovation development, such as the development of strategic plan for the development of provincial science and technology, correct understanding of this concept, as well as a conceptual framework is needed to allow for appropriate policy analysis and suggestions. In this research, in addition to explaining the cognitive map of knowledge in this area, the conceptual framework (IDCR) as well as its components, is described.
