planners and researchers, as well as all other interested users. The Yearbook was first officially compiled in the year 1345 and has been released regularly to date, however, not always bilingual.
The major sources of the Yearbook include: (a) the results of decennial censuses and sample surveys conducted by the SCI, (b) the results of censuses and sample surveys by other organizations, and (c) administrative data, which, in cooperation with other public agencies, have been made available for statistical purposes.
Since population censuses are taken every 10 years, also some other censuses and surveys by the SCI or other organizations are not taken at regular intervals, some of the Yearbook’s statistical items are not represented by a complete range of data.
In order to make timely provision of important statistical information to users and minimize their references to various organizations producing statistics, the SCI has attempted to have timely release of different statistical publications including the Statistical Yearbook, and also developed the Statistical Information Database.
The SCI Publication Database, a part of the SCI Statistical Information Database, which contains 4780 titles, is accessible on our website, www.sci.org.ir as of 1381.
The 1385 Statistical Yearbook of Iran is published in both Persian and English. The bilingual CD-ROM version is also available. In addition, the statistical yearbooks of 30 Ostans (provinces) are released by Deputies for Planning of Offices of Governor Generals nationwide (the former local branches of the Management and Planning Organization) with similar format under supervision of the SCI.
Before going through the chapters, users are recommended to study the introductions which take in the definitions and concepts concerned and the subject-matter coverage of the statistical items. Further, they provide readers with justifications for unavailability of some timely data or exclusion of some statistical items.
It is noteworthy that the beginning of the yearbook includes selected information of all chapters; moreover the selected information of each chapter has been added to the introduction of the related chapter. In order to have a general view on all information presented in the yearbook, its reading is recommended.
Particular thanks and appreciation are extended to all Deputies for planning offices, and Director-generals of statistics and information offices of the ministries, organizations and the Islamic Revolution institutions, as well as all their colleagues who helped us in this great job. Their generous and valuable assistance contributed a lot to preparation of the Yearbook. We hope to enjoy their cooperation and contribution continuously for enhancing the yearbook quantitatively and qualitatively.
