This article aims to identify the changes that have been the results of industrial development and it’s reflection in the development of rural residential areas. The main intention of this study is to analyze the special consequences (economic, social and anatomical) of the industrial center of Kashan in the development of neighboring rural areas. The industrial center consists of three factories that are for making essence, making equipment for gardeners and distillers and the Barij Company. All of the above companies are called the Industrial Center of Barij Essence. It has employed 1050 workers from amongst whom 120 people were identified and the questionnaires were randomly distributed among these workers. To analyze the data based on the measurement variables, descriptive and analytic methods (T) were used. The results showed that economically, having rural industries has led to an increase in the people’s intake of calories, seeing more consumption in long lasting goods and more satisfaction in the native people of the area. In addition, there is more social involvement, improvements in not wasting the residents’ free time, decreasing of natives immigration out of the rural areas and finally anatomically, quantity and quality improvement in the rural houses.
