Development projects with their positive effects always have potential direct and indirect negative effects on the human and natural environment, and if the negative effects are not thought of in advance and are not strengthened in terms of positive effects, they will have adverse results and consequences. The purpose of the research is to evaluate the biological environment of the irrigation and drainage network of Khodaafrin dam in East Azarbaijan province and Ardabil in Khodaafrin and Parsabad cities. In order to investigate environmental parameters, three physical-pollution, ecological-biological and economic-social and cultural environments were used. Then, using the Icold matrix method, the effect of each of the micro-activities of the project on the environmental factors of the study area was measured in the exploitation phase, separately from the three mentioned environments. The findings showed that the implementation of the plan is preferable to its non-implementation in such a way that the total consequences of the implementation of the plan on the surrounding environment are positive 274 points. Among the consequences of the implementation of the socio-economic and cultural environment plan, it has the most positive effects of 186 points, physical environment and pollution with 46 positive points, and ecological and biological environment with 42 positive points. According to the findings, the implementation of the irrigation and drainage network plan of the main KhodaAfarin canal is justified by complying with the standards. In order to reduce the negative effects on the three environments, it is suggested to consider continuous and stable monitoring and compliance with the correct principles of irrigation during the operation of the project.

Post-World War II global developments, such as the expansion of urbanization and the creation of large cities, the pollution of the urban environment, as well as the increase in leisure time, led to the expansion of rural tourism, especially second home ownership. Today, the tourism sector as a productive sector plays an important role in generating income and creating jobs in the economies of the countries. As such, many countries look to the dynamic tourism industry as a major source of income, employment, private sector growth and infrastructure development. One of the essential strategies for the development of rural areas is to pay attention to rural tourism to isolate and marginalize rural areas. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the socio-economic impacts of developing second homes in Zardanjan village of Jay village. The research method in this descriptive-analytical study is that the statistical population of the study is Zardanjan village households and Cochran method was used to determine the sample size. Sample selection was done using random sampling method and 87 people were selected as sample. Library and field methods and questionnaire tools were used for data collection. For data analysis, t-test was used. The findings showed that the expansion of construction of second homes in Zardanjan village due to factors such as proximity to Isfahan, increased leisure needs and the need to relax in a quiet environment. The continuation of this phenomenon has had various consequences in the rural areas, the most negative of which is the destruction of agricultural land and rising land prices and sociocultural instability and the most positive consequence of increasing diversification of economic activities especially in the service sector and achieving economic sustainability.

One of the major strategies in rural development is agro-processing and agri-industrial plantations. The puprose of these agro-industrial establishments is to utilize indigenous resources and to bring equilibrium in rural life. Moreover, meeting rural population needs, enhancement of rural welfare, and creating employment opportunities are the focus of such interventions. It aslo believed that without such interventions, human resource capabilities and employment opportunities is not recognized and thus migration among rural population is invetible. Although these agri-industrial factories are established to improve the quality of life among rural residents, their socio-economic impacts shoud not be overlooked. Literature review reveals that the majority of studies have focused on economic impact of agro-industrial factories with less attention to social impact of these interventions. Moreover, methodological aspect of previous studies are not rigorious enough. In other words, the complexities of socio-economic impacts require that researchers use appropriate methodology to understand the direct and indirest impact of agro-industrial factories. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the socio-economic impact of Rojeentak tomato processing plant in Kermanshah Township
2. This study used qualitative research paradigm to assess socio-economic impact of Roujeen-tak food processing plant. The participants included farmers who lived in the nearby area for the past 30 years. This allowed farmers to have a clear picture about the area before Roujeen-tak was brought in the area. Farmers from the following villages were interviewed: Tapeafshar, Ahmanvand, Tazeabad, Tavalali, Sarable, and Nezamabad. Using purposful sampling, 120 farmers from villages participated in the study. snowball sampling continued until sampling saturation. Deep interview and focus group discussion was used to collect data.
3. Results revealed that Rojeentak tomato processing company has brought economic changes and impacts. For example, extensive tomato cultivation in the area coupled with agricultural and non-agricultural businesses which in turn created job opportunities. More economic changes such as reduced harvest handling and increased farm and residential property prices are evident. Higher income, economic wellbeing, a change in crop pattern, and adoption of new cultivation practices were among the economic impacts. A major social change caused by Rojeentak tomato processing factory was heavy traffic and audio pollution. Finally, social impacts included significant car accidents, increased reversed migration, higher collective action, enhanced socio-economic wellbeing, and more interest in education. In order to cross check the findings, a non-formal meeting was arranged with the factory supervisors. All findings were validated through cross examination.
4. Results shows that Rojeen-tak factory had an influence in rural employmant. Since agriculture has a major role in the region, and tomatoe planting requires extensive labor work, rural farmers are main source of labor. This in turn, increased the rate of employment. The factory has been helpful in marketing tomatoes and therefore there is a garantee that tomatoe growers sell their products on time. This garantee is provided by Roujeen-tak company. In oher words, farmers deliever their products to the company and receive a fair price for their goods. Employment opportunities in one hand and increased income has helped rural villagers to make better living standards. Other social impact are increased welfair and intention to continue education among young population. The increase in farmers’ income, young individuals are finding themselves in better position to continue their education. A negative impact of Rojeen-tak factory is increased traffick load which created accidents in the villages. Perhaps , this traffic load is caused by incoming trucks carrying tomatoes from other provinces. The result of this study has implications for rural development practitioners in that they can use it as a risk assessment tool for future rural interventions. Rural development practitioners can use the result of this study as a risk assessment tool to plan for future agro-industrial plants in the region
