The statistical population for this study comprised 37 university scholars, subject-matter experts, and managerial personnel from institutional organizations who possessed the requisite knowledge and experience pertinent to the study's aims and parameters. These specialists were chosen utilizing purposive and chain sampling techniques. For the purpose of data analysis, the structural analysis methodology was employed utilizing the MicMac software framework. In the initial phase, through the processes of documentary analysis and library research, followed by the incorporation of expert opinions, five components were discerned, specifically "institutional integrity, institutional capability, institutional learning, legal arrangements, and institutional knowledge and innovation," in addition to 51 underlying components. In the subsequent phase, the findings derived from the analyses undertaken to assess the stability or instability of the system suggested that the dispersion pattern of institutional capacity variables within the urban development framework of Shahrekord signifies an "unstable state" of the system, wherein the variables predominantly exhibited an intermediate condition of influence and being influenced. Furthermore, the contribution of variables impacting institutional capacity in the integrated urban development of Shahr-e Kord was systematically ranked according to both direct and indirect effects. Based on the evaluations of specialists, from the 51 variables analyzed, 18 variables were identified and deemed pivotal in influencing institutional capacity within the context of urban development in Shahr-e Kord, as determined by the aggregate scores acquired.
