Movement is a sign of life and requires energy. Paying attention to the fact of the interconnectedness of biological domains (biology-physiology-ecology) acts as a guide to identify the diversity of movement and energy in the land. The long history of moving and living in the plateau of Iran shows the history of land cultivation with a focus on water diversity and water as energy. The changes in the biological areas reveal the changes in the patterns of identification and utilization of energies. Changes in population and social context, as biological-ecological changes in Iran, represent fundamental changes in energy issues and patterns of movement and life. Therefore, the question of the article is: What has been the impact of the development changes in the plateau of Iran on the energetics for the movement and biological systems of the land? In order to answer, a qualitative analysis of the approach to solving the water and energy problem in the decades of 1661-1981, and comparing it with the priorities of the comprehensive scientific map of the country, was carried out. Finally, it was proposed to replace physical or biophysical energy analysis in planetary and biological boundaries with biophysical-social analysis.
