Abstract

In any country, the existence of a clear and definite road map to achieve social, economic, welfare and cultural excellence is of great importance and value. The main purpose of this article is the comparative study of general social welfare policies in the 8th (Khatami) and 9th (Ahmadinejad) governments using fuzzy logic. The current research method is applied in terms of purpose and causal-comparative method in terms of type. The society and sample under investigation in this research are library resources and upstream documents collected from the presidential periods of the eighth and ninth governments, in the theoretical part by referring to books, magazines and all databases and in the field part by using fuzzy technique. The data was analyzed. In this research, the data was evaluated using tests related to the fuzzy logic model, and statistical inferences were made through 22spss software. The findings of this research showed that the level of welfare and social security was higher in the ninth term of the presidency, and the people enjoyed better welfare services and citizen interaction, and in the ninth government, this level of welfare was less, although the ninth government also provided subsidies and housing. The lower social classes have provided decent services. Therefore, finally, all the aforementioned findings made it clear that social welfare in Iran is a process that is largely connected to "governments" and government planning in this regard will greatly contribute to social security and national solidarity.
