The economic factor is one of the most important factors of population mobility in the border areas. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of cross-border trade on demographic indicators in Tamerchin border settlements in Piranshahr. The research is conducted in descriptive-analytical method using a questionnaire. The results of one-sample t-test for the 5 main dimensions of the research show that the reflection of political dimensions has the greatest effect on demographic changes in the studied area with a score of 3.43.The next more important categories are economic reflections with a score of 3.29, population category with a score of 2.86, social category with a score of 2.57, and physical category with a score of 2.25, respectively. According to the results mentioned in the findings section, the development of cross-border trade in the studied rural settlements has not had a positive impact on the stabilization and population growth of these settlements. The lack of infrastructure, services and welfare is one of the most important reasons for lack of the population stabilization. But, cross-border trade has had a positive impact on the social and political components and improving the quality and mobility of life in rural areas, according to the results of research tests.
