In this study, the conditions of 11 border provinces of Iran including Ardabil, west and East Azarbaijan, Kordestan, Kermanshah, Ham, Khouzestan, Hormozgan, Sistan & Blouchestan, and Khorassan with respect to certain indicators such as life expectancy, literacy level, birth rate have been explored, using statistical U, T and Z-tests as well as correlation coefficient.
The findings indicate that there are significant differences between internal provinces and border provinces, specially Sistan & Blouchestan, Kordestan, Ham, Kermanshah, West Azarbaijan and Hormozgan with respect to the above-mentioned indicators, differences which have resulted in a negative migration balance. On the other hand, the economic dependence of these provinces on adjacent countries can result in their political-cultural disintegration and consequently in a decline in national identity, power and security.
