Water, as an essential element of life and a common feature of the challenges of sustainable development, is the source of the multifaceted crisis of the next half century. Given the importance of water in agricultural development as well as the reduction of water resources in recent years, the restoration of sustainable water resources / aqueducts is essential. Since the optimal performance of the aqueduct requires the participation of shareholders in maintaining and rehabilitating it, the present study tries to identify and present the desired implementation strategies to increase the participation of shareholders in rehabilitating the aqueduct with the help of strategic planning tools. The research method is descriptive-analytical and two SWOT-QSPM tools have been used. The Farmers and Experts Analysis Unit is familiar with the internal and external environment of the aqueduct in connection with the research subject in five villages of the central part and Zirkhan of Neishabour city, which have succeeded in reviving their aqueducts. The sampling method was snowball. Based on exploratory studies, 13 strengths and opportunities were identified as advantages and 16 weaknesses and threats were identified as constraints and bottlenecks in the participation of shareholders in rehabilitating the aqueducts. Identified, questioned on the Likert scale. The results showed that in the SWOT matrix according to the shareholder share of the farmer. IFE = 2.8 and EFE = 2, and the share of shareholder experts. -At least) was found to be optimal. With the help of the Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM), the most important strategy is "Recognition of assistance in the field of rehabilitation and maintenance of the aqueduct by the government", which has a score of 5.59. It seems that if the necessary ground is provided for the participation of the beneficiaries in the rehabilitation of the aqueducts and their true position is recognized, and the culture of assistance is recognized among them, the sustainable and optimal rehabilitation and maintenance and operation of the aqueducts with the least We will see the cost.

The master plan is an official document for the physical development of rural settlements. It can play a special and effective role in the development of the country's villages and improving the lives of the villagers, have less attention to its effects on the quality of life of residents. Therefore, in the present study, an attempt has been made to study and evaluate the effects of the implementation of the pilot project on improving the quality of life of rural communities. The statistical population of the study included all inhabited villages (49 villages) in Khalajistan district. 10 villages were selected from two groups with project implementation and no project implementation as a statistical sample by "probabilistic classification" method. To measure quality of life, 38 items from four dimensions (environmental, economic, social and physical) were selected as criteria. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed in SPSS software by Mann-Whitney test and the effect. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by several professors and rural planning experts and its reliability was calculated by SPSS software and its rate was 0.78. The results of calculating the effect show that the implementation of the project in the physical dimension, had the most effect (0.67) and the economic dimension had the least effect (0.30) in the villages with the implementation of the project. To classify the severity of the effect according to Cohen's criterion, the effect on each of the environmental, economic and social dimensions was moderate, and on the physical dimension was high. Therefore, there is a significant difference between the two groups in physical, environmental, social and economic dimensions. Also, the implementation of the plan had the greatest effect on the physical dimension and the least effect on the economic dimension. According to Cohen's criterion, the amount of effect in the physical dimension was "high" and in the environmental, social and economic dimensions was "moderate". Therefore, in order to prepare and implement development plans and projects, attention should be paid to the capabilities of the villages and proper knowledge of the people and the region.

Urban areas, as places of service, have influenced the development of these spaces. Therefore, they must have a proper and effective performance in order to develop the settlements around them. Based on this premise, the present article while determining the performance of Noorabad city; It analyzes its impact on the economic development of the surrounding areas. This research from the perspective of the goal; Applied, and in terms of the nature of the descriptive method, it is considered analytical. Therefore, first, the basic economy of the region was measured by the spatial coefficient (LQ) method, then using MABAK analytical technique, the effect of the basic economy on the economic development of the villages of Pirahshahri was measured. Finally, by numerical taxonomy method, the level of economic development of the villages adjacent to Noorabad Delfan city was ranked according to the design method of the experts' questionnaire. The results indicate that the agricultural sector was considered as the dominant sector of the region's economy. In the study of economic indicators affecting the development of villages through MABAK, it was found that indicators such as; Achieving the second job with a weighted coefficient of 3.399 and changing jobs with a weighted coefficient of 3.193 are among the priorities of this method. This process is due to the fact that the economic development of the regions is at a low level. Finally, in the ranking made in the numerical taxonomic technique, it was determined that the villages of Khalifa-Abad (weight 0.107), Zaliabad (weight 0.152), Cheshmekhani (weight 0.212), respectively, in the rankings 1 to 3 and the rest of the villages are in the next ranks. Therefore, according to the obtained priorities, being on the main bumpy routes between Noorabad city and far and near towns and villages has caused the relative development of some areas, and the basic economy of this city has not played much role in the economic development of Piranshahr villages.

Continuous monitoring of the quantity and quality of groundwater resources is essential due to the excessive dependence of employment on these resources. The present study was conducted with the aim of quantitative and qualitative study of groundwater resources in the villages of centeral part of Bandar Lengeh city. After quantitatively estimating the groundwater balance, taking into account all components of the aquifer inlet and outlet, level hydrogeological maps and groundwater level changes based on the average of the lunar data were at least in GIS software (10.3 version). By quantitative and qualitative monitoring of groundwater resources in the study area, using water quality statistics of 35 wells that were registered by the Regional Water Company during the statistical period of 2003-2018, groundwater curves were drawn and plotted. The results showed that the groundwater balance of Pedlmezan, west Dezhgan and east Dezhgan aquifers were 5.94, 0.64 and 3.24 million cubic meters per year, respectively, and the amount of allowable withdrawal from the mentioned aquifers were 5.60, 0.64 and 0.64 million cubic meters per year, respectively. Annual drop of -0.03, -0.08 and -0.07 meters of water level of Pedlmezan, west Dezhgan and east Dezhgan indicates the favorable conditions of the aquifer water balance. The qualitative results of the basin showed that the average electrical conductivity of Pedlmezan aquifer has decreased from 6935 μs⁄cm in 2007 to 5654 μs⁄cm in 2003. In Dezhgan plain aquifer, it was found that the average electrical conductivity of the aquifer has increased from 7410 μs⁄cm in 1998 to 10424 μs⁄cm in 2007. Decreasing the amount of electrical conductivity in Pedlmezan aquifer and increasing it in Dezhgan basin is directly related to fluctuations in rainfall in the relevant basin in this period. The general result of this research is that the integrated management of water resources and the measures and planning of the regions have maintained the relative balance of water balance in the region, but in order to prevent the reduction of the quality of water resources with high salinity of the basin, the ban on further exploitation of the water resources of the basin should continue.

Today, most people, especially in rural areas, are denied access to financial services such as microcredit, whether in the form of facilities or savings. This is if microcredit can boost entrepreneurial incentives among people who are thinking of starting a business in rural areas with potential, such as Radkan County. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to identify the barriers and limitations of using public micro-credit in the development of rural entrepreneurial activities in Radkan village. From the paradigm perspective, this research is considered as a qualitative research and has been carried out with a pathological approach and with the aim of exploration (obstacles and problems of using micro-government credits). In this study, the method of basic theory and the method of qualitative and semi-structured in-depth interviews have been used to collect information and data in 13 studied villages. Therefore, data collection was done first at the library level for theoretical review of the problem and then with unstructured and open interviews. The sample population consisted of 29 rural entrepreneurs from Radkan village and 68 rural people. The collected data were analyzed through content analysis and classified through open coding, central coding, and selective coding. Findings from the research have led to the extraction of the conceptual model of barriers and limitations to the use of microcredit for entrepreneurship. The findings showed that entrepreneurs and rural people due to obstacles and restrictions (economic, social and institutional-administrative) such as: insufficient loan amount, long process of obtaining loans, high interest rates and interest of banks, complexity of administrative and banking affairs and ...

Our country has been seeking the interaction of officials with the people and vice versa for many years. The creation of local management among the local people themselves is also associated with this issue. In the meantime, good governance through components such as participation, accountability, etc. can be the connecting factor. In this study, we try to study and analyze the effects of good governance on improving the social welfare indicators of rural areas of Frieden city. This research is applied in terms of purpose and is descriptive-analytical and correlational. The statistical population of the study is all heads of households living in the villages of Frieden city, which according to the last census in 2016 is equal to 23311 people and 8430 households, of which 385 people were selected using the Cochran's formula. The instrument was measured by the Mohaghegh Questionnaire, the validity of which was formally verified by Mohaghegh University professors. With Cronbach's alpha coefficient by Spss23 software, the reliability of the questionnaire for good governance variables was 0.830% and for social welfare indicators was 0.837. Percentage was obtained. Sampling was based on the principle of proportional division and the questionnaire was distributed randomly among residents. In analyzing the results, first the good governance situation and social welfare of the regions were measured and then with the help of Pearson correlation correlation test and multiple regression test, the relationship of independent variable to dependent was measured. Pearson correlation results showed that there was a moderate to strong relationship between all variables of good governance and social welfare. In multiple regression, variables (good governance) predict 61% of the variance (social welfare). Meanwhile, the responsibility variable with beta coefficient of 0.30% is more effective than other variables in improving social welfare indicators. It can be said that the sense of responsibility of local managers according to the pattern of good governance increases the level of social welfare of the villages of Frieden city

The dominant form and the first step in smartening rural areas is the establishment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) offices. Rural areas have been deprived of many facilities due to distance and dispersion, and the use of smart technologies can effectively play a role in providing services (educational, administrative, banking, etc.). Since the performance of offices is effective in accelerating the process of rural intelligence, so the purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the performance of rural ICT offices in the field of intelligence to expand ICT in rural areas. The present research is one of the applied researches and the descriptive-analytical research method is a comparative research that has been achieved through documentary and field studies. The statistical population of the study includes 24 villages with ICT offices in Tabas city. Data were collected through field interview methods and completing a questionnaire and then the data were analyzed by SPSS software. The indicators studied are the personal characteristics of the staff, the characteristics of the village and the equipment available in the ICT offices. The results show that the performance of the 24 rural ICT offices studied are not significantly different in terms of customer acquisition and familiarity with the smartening process. Other results indicate that at 95% confidence level and significance level more than 0.05, none of the factors of office staff characteristics, village characteristics, facilities and equipment had a significant effect on office performance in attracting customers and promoting rural intelligence. Researchers are advised to use qualitative research methods such as participatory methods and in-depth interviews with staff and customers to better explore the factors affecting the performance of offices.

There are various and continuous interactions between a city and village. Thus, rural and urban areas cannot be considered separately in studies and planning. Accordingly, the main goal of this research is to identify the internal and external Spatial events of rural settlements, and to identify the role and influence of Spatial events on the formation and transformation of Spatial organization. In this research, the Spatial events that are the determining factor in the formation of the Spatial organization of the studied area are analyzed by a reticulated approach. The quiddity of the present study is exploratory, and the method is descriptive-analytic. The studied statistical population is consisted of 122 experts and managers of urban and rural settlements in Zeberkhan rural districts, 74 of them were randomly selected as sample size. The required data and information were collected, using filed study method, questionnaires, and by questioning. Secondary data was obtained by referring to principal organizations and institutions. Afterwards, the obtained data was analyzed in the framework of the network paradigm, using the network analysis method and NodeXL software. The results showed that lack of proper distribution of services and facilities and the lack of Spatial balance, caused increased displacement and movement among human settlements at a rural district level. Therefore, the three settlements of Qadamgah, Baghshan and Darrud have been made the main first to third places of traffic within the region. Also, the results of flow analysis indicate that the pattern of flows is in the form of one way links, and that the complementary, two-way and synergistic links are not formed.

In the last few decades, the concept of quality of life as one of the most fundamental development concepts that addresses the evaluation of individual and community’s well-being has attracted the scholars, the planners and the governments. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the effects of the market orientation on the components of the quality of life in the Piran rural district. The method of this research is descriptive-analytic based on field data. The statistical population in this research is the villages of the Piran village which are subject to the central district of Piranshahr. The method of selecting villages in this research was based on their distance from the border market. The villages were divided into three categories according to their distance to the border market. Three villages were selected from each category. In order to complete the questionnaires, fifteen heads of households were considered equally in each village. A total of 135 questionnaires were completed by the samples. The findings showed that based on the views of the studied community, the quality of education, the quality of leisure time, the quality of health, and hygiene are all lower than the average. The border market did not have any impact on the improvement of these components of quality of life. The quality of infrastructure, employment and income, and the quality of the residential environment are moderately evaluated, suggesting that the border market has somewhat affected these components. Moreover, the results indicate that the village of Shin Abad is the highest and Badabad village has the lowest quality of life.

Human habitats have always been subject to change considering the available construction space as well as internal and external processes evolved. The rural settlements, as part of the geographic system, which consist of components related to each other, are influenced by the position of the place - space, interaction or communication (internal and external local, regional and national scale) and they are always subject to changes in the structure and functioning of rural areas in different regions. The method of this research is descriptive-analytic and a large field study, documentary and library method are used to collect information. In order to investigate the structural-functional changes in these villages, indicators were selected in different dimensions (environmental-ecological, socio-cultural, economic-livelihoods, physical, physical), which were estimated by random sampling of 317 samples. The questionnaire was used by residents of rural households whose validity was confirmed by some experts. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.77) was used to determine the reliability of the main scale of the questionnaire. After completing the questionnaire, information analysis and hypothesis testing were evaluated using t-test and spearman correlation and the difference between these indices in rural development. The results show that the environmental - ecological villages saw an increase in deep wells, reducing the discharge of springs and aqueducts, changes in land use and the social dimension with increased migration and immigration, the government policies, the economics and these have affected rural habitats.

In achieving sustainable livelihoods in rural areas, the need for accurate and complete identification of factors affecting the process of formation and development of rural areas is necessary. In this regard, identification and evaluation of criteria and indicators of sustainable rural livelihoods can be promising. In this study, it has been tried to identify and evaluate the criteria and indicators of rural sustainable livelihood in the country through a comprehensive review of the library resources and existing records. For this purpose, factors influencing rural sustainable livelihood were formulated in the form of a group of criteria, and indicators for each criterion. In the next step by using the Delphi method and using normalized importance coefficient, the indices were screened. Based on the results, the economic criterion group with the highest Normalized Importance coefficient (0.338) was identified as the most important criterion group. Two income and cost and water resources criteria with normalized importance coefficient 0.720 and 0.070 are more important than the other criteria, and then the employment and health of the society criteria are at the next levels. Among the indicators of sustainable livelihoods, household income index is ranked first with the normalized importance coefficient 0.0084. And two indicators of assets and household expenses are ranked second with the same importance coefficient (0.0081).

In this study, the potential of using wind power in Torbat Heydarieh and the surrounding villages was evaluated, and the necessity of creating a windbreak in the rural areas of this city has been investigated. Due to the existence of wind power site in Neyshabour, the potential of wind power in Torbat Heydarieh and its surrounding villages has been investigated by comparing wind speed between Torbat Heydarieh and Neyshabour. Therefore, the wind velocity graphs between Torbat Heydarieh and Neyshabour during 11 years were drawn to analyze the wind speed (as the wind power), which have shown the comparison. Moreover, the necessity of building a wind power unit in the villages around Torbat Heydarieh and its direct and indirect effects on sustainable development of the village were analyzed. The wind speeds were compared in the two cities by using the point – line data of the Meteorological Organization. Each point represents the average of monthly data, and each line represents the daily change in wind speed. Data was taken in eight hours during a day. By analyzing the wind velocity at 32120 consecutive times, it was found that: The means wind speed in the Torbat Heydarieh during the last 11 years (2006 to 2016) are always greater than the maximum wind speed in Neyshabour. Therefore, the results of this study indicate that the Torbat Heydarieh, especially the villages on its outskirts, has the potential to build a power plant for using wind power.

The distribution of facilities in villages reflects the level of development of the regions and the equilibrium in the spatial distribution of facilities can also express the rural population's access to such facilities. Given that in the developing countries, most of the population live in rural areas, recognizing the structural characteristics of the level of development and awareness of the capacities and environmental abilities of each region is important. In order to solve the problems caused by regional imbalances, the first step is to recognize and classify regions in terms of social, economic and service spheres in the regional development planning process. The bottlenecks and limitations of the regions are recognized and can be resolved. In this regard, the main objective of this research was to study the development or deprivation of villages in the Qazvin province. To achieve this goal, a descriptive-analytical method and a Scalogram model have been used. The development of villages in the Qazvin province has been studied and analyzed using 41 indicators including educational, commercial, cultural, health-therapeutic, infrastructure and other sectors. The results indicate that among the 46 ranked villages in the Qazvin province, Piriyosofian that is one of the villages of Alborz city has ranked first at the top of the table and the village of Alamot down in Qazvin city is in the last rank in the table. Then, according to the results obtained, the villages are divided into four categories: privileged, relatively privileged, semi-privileged and deprived. The deprived villages are located in Qazvin and Avaj, and the more developed villages are located in the city of Buin Zahra.

Recognizing the possibility and then determining the levels of having a rural society, the first step in the process is for the community planning and development. Since development is a multidimensional concept, studying different aspects of development and awareness levels and having different areas is an effective step in planning. This is important not only from the village point of view but from a regional aspect too. The research method is analytic. The study is intended to achieve the goal of 58 variables with PROMETHE and the GAIA model is analyzed. The results showed that the villages of the Geshlage Shomali and Savalan rank first and second and the villages of Ojarode Shomali, Mahmud Abad, Ojarode Markazi and Angote Shargi are placed last in the ratings. A total of 19 villages were studied and respectively 3 villages were Developed (35%), five villages were almost Developed (30%), 7 villages were almost Undeveloped (26%) and 4 villages were Undeveloped (9%). There is a direct relationship between the wealth and the population size of rural districts. If this process of allocation of funds and resources to large municipalities is continued small municipalities of Geography Department Urban planning Ardebil University Researcher and villages shall be emptied and cause many problems. Finally suggestions and recommendations are given according to the results.
