Initially, based on the Sharp formula, 40 villages were selected and the sample size was determined using the Cochran formula at 95% level of 321 households. They were randomly selected to complete the questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using Pearson, regression and stepwise regression algorithms in the SPSS22 software package. The GIS10.1 software was used for spatial analysis and drawing maps. The results of this study showed that there is a meaningful relationship between rural empowerment of villagers and their livelihood pattern, such that psychological work with moderate intensity and variance of 45.5% is effective in changing the livelihood pattern of these villagers.
