Looking at the process of development and economic growth of developed and developing countries, it is observed that despite the fact that our country is rich in terms of resources, geographical location and economic development it has always been one of the middle countries. But so far regional studies have not mentioned the status of future approach in regional planning system and have merely addressed everyday issues of minor importance in order to aiming for Planning system. This research is a practical-developmental in purpose and descriptive-analytical in method. Combining documentary and survey data using Delphi techniques we tried to identify effective factors in lack of attention to the future approach research in the process of regional planning system, with a case study of Northern provinces and using MICMAC Analytical Techniques and Software. Key Factors influencing the future approach research in the process of regional planning system with emphasis on the Northern provinces were identify and explained. The results of the analysis show that factors such as the sovereignty of economic planning, the way of choosing the goals and tools of developing programs, lack of attention to possible future scenarios and centralization of the planning system is one of the main reasons for not paying attention to the future approach researches in the planning system process. Finally, appropriate solutions were presented to improve the process of logical planning system
