Border provinces of Iran have always faced inequality, spatial imbalances and deprivation in the development process. This article aims to give balance the growth and development process of the cities of Kermanshah province based on the model of good governance. The research method is descriptive-analytical and its type is applied-developmental. The research has been done and analyzed in 2 stages. In the first stage, 11 effective indicators of the growth and development process of the cities of Kermanshah border province in three economic, social and infrastructural dimensions have been identified, selected and analyzed in the form of TOPSIS model. In the second stage, the six principles of good governance were examined and analyzed through Friedman test and t-test. The results showed that the level of development has a deep gap and on the one hand the possibility of economic competitiveness at the local, regional, national and even with the neighboring province in Iraq is minimized. The results of this study show that the principle of participation with a value of 0.0001, efficiency with a value of 0.019 and effectiveness with a value of 0.0016 as the three principles of good governance in the border province of Kermanshah do not have normal and appropriate conditions. For this purpose, one of the most effective strategies to improve the conditions of efficiency, effectiveness and participation in Kermanshah province is to follow a proper division of labor and emphasis on meritocracy, offer a periodic report on the quality of service in cities to officials, realize a balanced model of multi-center development in the province and prepare a plan to use the capacity of neighboring of Kermanshah province with Iraq.
