Empowering the villagers in the field of rural tourism can bring about a successful transition to rural development as a strategic choice. The aim of this study was to explain the effects of empowerment of rural households on creative tourism in Shahrood. The statistical population of the study is 373 rural households that the questionnaire as a research tool was provided to the statistical population by sampling. The Cronbach's alpha value for creative tourism indicators is 0.80 and for empowerment indicators is 0.75. SPSS software version 24 and LISREL 8.8 were used for data analysis. Based on the obtained results, the components of creative tourism and empowerment of rural households with an average of 3.093 and 2.77, respectively, have been evaluated at the desired level and below the desired level, and the relations between the components of empowerment and creative tourism have been evaluated. Ali fitted with favorable indices (RMSEA = 0.079). According to the research findings, the promotion of education and awareness components, skills and development of human resources, finance and investment, competence and individual independence, and institutionalism and organization are effective in the development of creative tourism indicators.

The information required for the research was collected using a survey and a questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using the structural equation modeling approach using SPSS and Amos software. The statistical population of this study consisted of rural households in four rural areas of Baghmalek County of Khuzestan province (N = 3005) households based on the Krejcie and Morgan table, and the sample size of 340 households was selected. Sample individuals were studied using a stratified sampling method with proportional assignment. The results obtained from the model of structural equations of path analysis also showed that the structures of perceived reaction effectiveness, perceived self-efficacy, ethical norm, information, and knowledge and habit have a positive, direct, and significant effect on the behavioral desire of rural households to protect water. Finally, the developed theory of conservation motivation can predict 54% of the variable changes in the behavioral tendency of rural households towards water conservation. The results showed that the theory used was efficient in this field. Therefore, water policymakers need to know that psychological factors are part of sustainable behavior. Using incentives and restrictions cannot help promote safe behavior in the environment unless people are psychologically prepared for a behavior. In this regard, it is recommended that local institutions and government organizations support the protection of natural resources, especially water, by holding training classes, workshops, and seminars. The concern of water protection and the need to pay attention to it have also been created in the audience's minds, as well as people's participation and increased willingness to protect water.

The current research is descriptive-analytical in terms of its practical purpose and method. The data collection tools are questionnaires and interviews from a selected sample of 362 households. The selected sample was selected from the statistical community of rural households involved and not involved in Warza Jang, Koch Safhan district, Belsabneh district (N = 5819) using Cochran's formula and quota sampling method. Independent t-test and structural equation modeling test were used to analyze the data. The results of the independent t-test showed that the economic effects of gambling among the households involved in the war were more than the non-involved households, and indicators of financial helplessness with an average of 3.16, unusual distribution of money with an average of 3.10, and debt with an average of 2.87 It has had the greatest effects on rural households. Also, the results of the structural equations show that the component of random wealth with an impact factor of 0.83 has received the greatest impact from gambling, and indicators of financial helplessness with an impact factor of 0.76, financial problems with an impact factor of 0.60, and financial instability with an impact factor of 59. 0.0 has had an indirect effect on the unstable economic conditions of rural households affected by gambling, and the p value of all lambda parameters in the above model confirms all relationships.

Floods are one of the natural hazards that in some cases lead to destructive phenomena and leave terrible social, economic and health effects. Meanwhile, rural communities are more vulnerable to climate change due to their livelihoods. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to evaluate the livelihood vulnerability of farmers to floods in Lorestan province. The statistical population of this research includes all heads of flooded rural households in the three counties of Khorramabad, Chegani and Pol-e Dokhtar of Lorestan province, which according to the reports of the Agricultural Jihad of Lorestan province, their number was considered to be 6755. Using Cochran's formula, the sample size of 308 households was determined. Probability sampling with a systematic random method was used to select the samples. In this research, the Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) was used to calculate the livelihood vulnerability of rural households to floods. The results showed that the flood-affected farmers in the villages of Pol-e Dokhtar county have higher livelihood vulnerability compared to Chegani and Khorramabad counties. In Pol-e Dokhtar county, indicators of livelihood strategy, social networks, knowledge-information, and health showed a higher value than the other two cities; This means that Poldekhter city has a higher vulnerability in these indicators. According to the results obtained from this research, solutions have been presented to manage flood risk and crisis in rural communities.

Problem statement: 

Ensuring sustainable development and measuring the well-being of a society heavily relies on maintaining and enhancing rural stability. This research study adopted a descriptive-survey approach to analyze the structural relationships between rural sustainability and four dimensions, drawing upon the theoretical foundations of W.G. Newman (1999) and the eight dimensions of good governance as defined by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

This study was designed with an applied purpose and utilized a survey methodology for data collection. The statistical population of the study consisted of the heads of rural households in Kashan City with a total population of 364,482 individuals. By employing the Karjesi-Morgan table, the sample size for the study was determined to be 379 participants. A multi-stage sampling method was employed to select the participants for this research. The calculated value of Cronbach's alpha for the indicators of good governance and rural sustainability were 0.75 and 0.72, respectively.

Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 24 and AMOS software packages. The findings indicated that both the components of good governance and rural stability in the villages of Kashan City were evaluated as average and below the optimal level with the average scores of 3.120 and 2.773, respectively. Furthermore, favorable causal relationships were observed between the components of good governance and rural stability as indicated by a fitted model (RMSEA=0.022). The research findings suggested that enhancing indicators, such as legality, transparency, accountability, efficiency and effectiveness, participation, consensus, justice, and accountability could significantly contribute to the development of rural sustainability components.

The main purpose of this applied research was to analyze the norms in the theory of planned behavior to predict the behavior of rural households in the protection of Zagros forests. The data required for the research was collected by survey method and a questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS and Amos, using structural equation modeling approach. The statistical population of this study consisted of rural households in four villages of Dowreh Chegeni (N=2020) that based on Krejcie and Morgan table, a sample of 300 households was selected. The sample was studied using stratified sampling method with proportional assignment. Findings showed that the behavior variable has a positive and significant relationship with the attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavior control, moral norm, and intention variables. The results of structural equations of path analysis showed that the variables of moral norm, intention, and behavior control perceived have a positive, direct and significant effect and the variables of moral norm, attitude and behavioral control have an indirect and significant effect on behavior variable. Finally, the theory of planned behavior mediated by the moral norm variable can predict respectively 52% and 38% of the changes in the variables of intention and behavior of rural households towards forest protection. The results showed that the constructs of the theory of planned behavior such as attitudes, moral norms and perceived behavioral control are good predictors of Zagros forest protection behaviors in the studied area. ThTheese findings may be useful to executives, because instead of trying to change behavior, they can focus first on conceptual and persuasive changes, such as changing attitudes toward forest protection

One of the basic preconditions for achieving sustainable development and one of the most basic measures of well-being in any society is to maintain and improve living capital. This research is a descriptive-survey study that has studied the structural relations of livelihood capital based on DFID theory and creative tourism with four dimensions. This research is applied in terms of purpose and survey in terms of how to collect data. The statistical population of the research was the heads of rural households in Arsbaran region (N = 2293), and using the Karjesi-Morgan table, the statistical sample size was calculated as 329 people. In order to obtain samples in this research, random sampling method was used. The value of Cronbach's alpha obtained for creative tourism indicators is equal to 0.80 and for livelihood capital indicators is 0.79. SPSS version 24 and LISREL 8.8 software package were used for data analysis. Based on the obtained results, the components of creative tourism and livelihood capital have been evaluated with an average of 3.270 and 2.773 respectively in the villages of Arsbaran region at the optimal level and below the optimal level, and between the components of creative tourism with capital Livelihoods had causal relationships with favorable indicators (RMSEA = 0.07). Based on the findings of the research, the improvement of creative class indicators, creative product, creative process and creative environment are effective in the development of livelihood capital indicators.

Review:Drought is more complex than other natural disasters as it covers a wider geographical area and therefore affects more people. The present study was carried out with the aim of prioritizing the effective factors on increasing the economic resilience of rural households against drought in the villages of Tastagdar section of Tabas city. The current research is quantitative in nature and practical in terms of purpose, that is, it examines theoretical constructions in practical and real contexts and situations. The statistical population of this research is all the villagers over 18 years of age in Tabas city. Due to the non-availability of accurate information about the number of people in this statistical population, using Cochran's formula and the last number of Morgan's table, the number of 384 people was studied as a statistical sample size. The sampling method in this research is stratified. First, the Tastagandar section is divided into two classes, Tastagandar and Yekhab, and the number of statistical sample is selected from among the selected classes, using random sampling method. To collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire in the form of a Likert scale was used, and the collected data was analyzed to obtain the results. The results showed that from the point of view of the villagers, the most influential factors in their resilience against the risk of drought and increasing their ability to adapt to drought conditions are the strengthening of local participation of the villagers, the second is paying attention to local knowledge, the third is the development of crop insurance, and the fourth is the development of seeds and varieties. resistant to creation, which according to the research results have the shortest distance from the positive ideal and the furthest distance from the negative ideal.

Rural economy, as one of the most basic aspects of rural existence, has long been associated with agriculture and agricultural activities, so that the agricultural sector is very important in terms of employment and income for households. Hence, it can play an important role in reducing poverty and especially strengthening sustainable rural livelihoods. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the sustainable livelihood of rural households in Rustaq rural district. This research has been done by descriptive-analytical method. For this purpose, first, in addition to documentary and field studies, a wide range of indicators were determined. Then, data collection was performed based on selected indicators and using a household questionnaire. In this regard, the role of the agricultural sector in 337 households living in the villages of Rustaq district was studied. The validity of the questionnaire was examined by experts and the validity coefficient of the questionnaire was equal to 0.85. Shannon and Coopras entropy weight models and Spss software were used for data analysis as well as statistical and spatial analysis. The results showed that among the studied dimensions, economic dimension (15.144) and social dimension with an average (12.102) have the first and second ranks in improving sustainable livelihood. Using the Coopers model, among the studied villages, Niqab village with a degree of importance (100) had a better level of sustainable living than other villages. The results of the research indicate that, with 99% certainty, it can be said that the amount of factors affecting the sustainable livelihood of rural households in these dimensions (economic, social, physical, human and environmental) is different in the villages of the study area.

Rural households due to many problems such as drought, floods and sometimes economic problems such as youth unemployment and poor health, their vitality is always subject to changes and developments that with proper management and good governance - these problems can be reduced and vitality. He gave gifts to the villagers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of good rural governance on the livelihood of rural households in Zahedan. This research is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of nature and method of descriptive-analytical work, which is done in two ways: library study and field survey. The statistical population of the study consists of rural households in Zahedan city. Due to the dispersion of villages and their large number, 20 villages were randomly selected as the sample village. According to the 2016 census, these villages have a total of 4456 households equal to It had a population of 18,365, of which 354 were selected using the Cochran's formula. The Cronbach's alpha value is 0.80 for governance indices and 0.85 for vitality indices. Multivariate regression analysis and one-sample t-test were used to analyze the findings. The results showed that good rural governance with an average of 2.839 and the vitality of rural households with an average of 2.773 were lower than the desired situation. The study of the effects of good rural governance on the vitality of rural households showed that good rural governance has the greatest effect with a beta coefficient of 0.398 on the economic vitality variable and the lowest effect with a beta coefficient of 0.147 on the environmental vitality variable. Governance also affects the variables of social vitality and cultural vitality with beta coefficients of 0.321 and 0.256, respectively.

Maintenance, development, and encouragement of investment in livestock activities is highly important in order to preserve genetic resources, increase production, create job security, and it is also good for entrepreneurship, especially in rural areas. This study tries to explore the role of small livestock units in the sustainable livelihood of rural families in the city of Aq Qala. In terms of objective, this is an applied study and in terms of nature, it is a descriptive-analytical study. Statistical population of this survey consists of families living in the rural areas of Aq Qala which are altogether 4073 families. By the use of Cochran's formula, 354 householders were selected as the sample size in order to fill up the questionnaires. In order to analyze the data, Freidman, Phi Cramer, Chi-square, Spearman, and Wilcoxon tests were used in the SPSS environment. The research results showed that according to Phi Cramer, Chi-Square, and Spearman tests, there is a 99% significant relationship between formation of small livestock units and personal features of individuals such as job, education, marital status, job-related skills, age, and income. Freidman, Chi-square, and Wilcoxon tests showed that there is a significant relationship between formation of small livestock units and improvement of livestock capitals (human, social, economic, physical, and natural). Also, Kruskal Wallis test showed significant differences between livelihood capitals of families that have small livestock units in the studied villages.

In recent years, with the importance of the paradigm of sustainable development, the emphasis on the position of the social dimension in the field of sustainability has become doubly important. One of the basic preconditions for achieving sustainable development and one of the most basic criteria of welfare in any society is maintaining and promoting social sustainability. This study is a descriptive-survey one that studies the analysis of structural relationships of social sustainability considering four dimensions based on DFID theoretical foundations and good governance with eight dimensions of UNPD. This research is a survey in terms of practical purpose and the way of collecting data. The statistical population of the study were the heads of rural households in Kashan (N = 364482) which was calculated using the Krejcie-Morgan table, the statistical sample size of 379 people. In order to obtain samples in this study, multi-stage sampling method was used. The obtained Cronbach's alpha value is 0.75 for good governance indicators and 0.72 for social sustainability indicators. SPSS software version 24 and AMOS software were applied for data analysis. Based on the results, the components of good governance and social sustainability with an average of 3.120 and 2.780 in the villages of Kashan, respectively, have been evaluated as average and lower than the desired level, respectively; it had a good fit (RMSEA = 0/022) between the components of good governance and social stability. According to the research findings, improving the indicators of legality, transparency, accountability, efficiency and effectiveness, participation, consensus, justice and accountability are effective in developing the components of social sustainability.

The extraction of minerals presents both opportunities and challenges for human well-being and social life. Research has extensively explored the challenges faced by communities trying to maintain a healthy and prosperous social life around a mine. Creating the infrastructure to properly direct capital and resources to generate wealth and added value is one of the major responsibilities of policymakers in any country, including Iran, which is impossible without a thorough analysis of the potential of the various regions. Studying the role of industries (mining) in improving the livelihoods of rural households in Azadshahr County is the focus of this study.

It is descriptive-analytical in nature and applied in its goals. Information was collected by two methods library and field (researcher-made questionnaire). Azadshahr mine employees in Golestan province with 400 heads of households are included in the statistical population. 196 people were selected according to Cochran's formula as the greater caution sample size of 200 people. The questionnaire was filled out using a 5-point Likert scale (very low, low, medium, high, very high) in human, social, physical, natural and financial dimensions. Based on the approval of experts and professors in the field of rural geography, the content validity of the questionnaires was verified. Based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient, reliability was calculated for human capital 0/894, financial capital 0/813, natural capital 0/813, social capital 0/868, and physical capital 0/856. The collected data was analyzed with Friedman, Chi-square, Phi Cramer, and Spearman correlation coefficients within the SPSS software environment. The map was created with ArcGIS software.

At 99% confidence level, there is a link between industrial (mining) businesses and increasing the sustainable livelihood capital of rural households, and employment in this type of business has greater effects on economic, social, physical and human capital, but their effects on natural capital are much weaker. In human capital, the variable characterized by the highest average rank was the presence of skilled and semi-skilled manpower, while the variable characterized by the lowest average rank was the inventive and creative class. This type of business was rated highest for its effectiveness in reducing unemployment among villagers. The lowest score was given for its opportunities to engage women. The highest average rating was given to reducing conflicts between residents, while the lowest average rating was given to access to information and communication technology. Based on the average rating, physical capital was rated highest for its contribution to improving housing conditions of villagers and lowest for its contributions to building religious structures. Land deformation received the highest average rating in natural capital, while the impact of this activity on environmental protection received the lowest. A Spearman correlation coefficient was used to demonstrate the relationship between mine income and subsistence capital. The coefficient has a significant relationship according to the level of significance. It is true that there is a significant relationship between employment in the mine and earning income, but this relationship is moderate. The chi-square values for subsistence capital show a significant difference between the observed frequencies and the expected frequencies when the significance level is lower than 0.01, meaning that the difference between these two ratios is statistically significant. The phi Cramer test indicates a relationship between monthly income and economic capital variables. Considering that the correlation between monthly income and variables is high for most variables and is significant at a level lower than 0.01, it is possible to conclude that there is a strong relationship between the two.

Iran's mining and mineral industries are considered to be its most important economic sectors. As a result, the growth and development of this sector has been able to promote and improve the sustainable livelihood of rural households by increasing economic activity, employment, and income. It is perhaps the most serious impact of coal mining on the environment that there are environmental changes, land erosion, vegetation changes, soil degradation, and land deformation. It is often overlooked how mining affects the quality of life of local communities, as most of the benefits go to the mining industry and its workforce, thereby excluding the rest of the population. Additionally, the villages have been able to benefit from the mines through the employment of workers. It is expected that developing the skills of local uneducated communities will increase livelihood opportunities, especially for residents of rural mining areas. The development and expansion of mining activities will reduce transportation costs and, when combined with the development of conversion-related and complementary industries near the mines, will create jobs and attract rural labor, as well as increase the sustainability of rural livelihoods and population retention in rural areas.

Drought is one of the natural disasters that is very common, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. This phenomenon can occur in any region and affect humans and the environment; however, its effects in rural areas are much greater than in other areas due to the dependence of livelihood on rainfall. As a result, past droughts have severely reduced the sense of spatial belonging of rural households. Therefore, the factors that can affect this field are undeniably necessary. Accordingly, this study was conducted with the general purpose of studying the effects of social capital on the sense of spatial belonging of rural households in drought conditions. The statistical population of the study included all rural households - farmers of Dorud County. The sample size consisted of 375 heads of households selected for the study using the Krejcie and Morgan table. For collecting data, a questionnaire was designed. The validity of this questionnaire was confirmed by a panel of experts and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Data analysis was performed in two sections of descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS23 and Lisrel8.54 software. The results of grouping rural households showed that they are not in a good position in terms of spatial belonging and social capital. In addition, the results of structural equation modeling showed that the dimensions of social capital with a coefficient of explanation of 51% (γ = 0.71, t = 11.89) have a positive and significant effect on the sense of spatial belonging of rural households in drought conditions.

Social health is one of the most important dimensions of public health in society along with other mental, spiritual, medical, etc. dimensions. It plays a significant role in the sustainable development of society in order to prevent social harm and pave the way for the participation of individuals in all areas of society.  Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the social health of rural households in Shiraz and the factors affecting it. The research method is survey and the statistical population consists of rural households in Shiraz city, the number of which is 384 households based on Morgan table and selected by stratified random sampling method. Based on the reported values of fitness indicators, it was found that the model of confirmatory factor analysis of the research, based on five dimensions, has a suitable and acceptable fit (RMSEA = 0.04) and the components can be used to estimate social health and therefore the structure used to measure social health has an acceptable validity. The measured model showed that social health can be a function of five factors of social cohesion, social acceptance, social participation, social adaptation and social prosperity derived from Keyes theory of social health and all selected indicators of research except one indicator in the component of social acceptance, have shown their significant effects in measuring social health. Based on the results of the regression test, the adjusted coefficient showed that 64.9% of social health changes are explained by independent variables. Finally, suggestions for promoting social health are provided.

According to a 2016 census, there are 62,284 small populated and unpopulated villages located throughout Iran. Such a number as well as the presence of water, soil, and agricultural production capacities in these areas doubles the need for paying attention to green ethics. Consequently, to confront environmental crises across rural areas which are more exposed to the natural environment, it is necessary to focus on a number of important ethical principles regarding the environment including conservation of natural resources, renewal of consumed resources, reduction of pollutants and wastes, development of recycling programs, optimal management of waste disposal, adherence to both national and global environmental standards, and enhancement of environment conservation indices.   It appears that the significance of the culture of using natural resources and environmental facilities and coexistence with the environment is overlooked by the current generation. Additionally, the lack of education on environmental issues has desensitized the current generation against the subject while worsening the ecological unsustainability of various geographical spaces such as rural areas. Meanwhile, in the past, rural environments used to be relatively sustainable in ecological terms, and the level of environmental sensitivity used to be higher among rural residents. The lived experiences of the author in rural areas suggest that the past behavior of rural residents, particularly in the border-adjacent, dry and deprived Khaaf County in Khorasan Razavi Province, has been intertwined with environmental sensitivities; an aspect that has lost its importance as a result of changes in villagers’ values. A few instances of this situation are the prevalence of using disposable dishes in ceremonies instead of reusable copper plates, willingness to use ready-made foods (such as tomato paste and jam) already prepared at homes, releasing dangerous detergents in farming fields, and refusing to use indigenous materials and opting for non-native construction materials. Accordingly, the main research question was posed as ‘To what extent do the rural households living in the study area adhere to green ethics?’

The method used for the study is descriptive-analytical with applied purposes. Data collection was carried out through a combination of field and library studies. The indices and variables of the study were edited with respect to the theoretical foundations, literature reviews, and exploratory studies (interviews with local experts, rural managers and members of Islamic councils). In this research, on the basis of Likert scale., ‘green ethics’ was quantified using 39 indices divided by three dimensions of ‘human-centeredness’ with seven indices, ‘ecosystem-centeredness’ with 12 indices, and ‘God-centeredness’ with 19 indices. Cronbach’s Alpha was also used to confirm the reliability of the study’s numerous questions. Since the obtained coefficients for 38 indices were above 0.81, the reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed. Considering the fact that the data distribution was approved as normal, the one-sample t-test was used in SPSS to compare the mean value of the respondents’ assessment with the average value (Likert scale). In this study, 16 villages with the populations of over 20 households were randomly selected. Then, Cochran’s formula was used to select 235 families as the sample population followed by a random selection of the sample members in each village.

Given the significance level in the one-sample t-test, the mean value was significantly higher than the theoretical median in the three dimensions of green ethics and the construct (P-value = 0.000). Accordingly, the God-centered, human-centered, and ecosystem-centered aspects obtained the mean values of 4.06, 3.24, and 3.74 respectively, which were assessed to be in the range of medium to high. Taking into account the religious background of the residents in the region, who are mostly Sunni Muslims, and the substantial role of religion there, the God-centered aspect was found to be a higher average value than the other dimensions, with the lowest mean value belonging to the human-centered aspect. Overall, the mean value of the green ethics construct was above average (3.68). Furthermore, a significant positive correlation of average intensity was found between green ethics and its dimensions; improvement of the God-centered, human-centered, and nature-centered dimensions would increase green ethics value by 0.73, 0.65 and 0.75 respectively (P-value = 0/000).

Through emphasis on dos and don’ts, green ethics is an expression of how humans behave in the environment. In addition, behavioral theories also emphasize that human behavior is influenced by values, beliefs and insights. In other words, values, ethics and individual beliefs severely affect one’s decisions and actions. Such an approach calls for attention to ethical norms as one of the determinants of human interactions with nature. In this regard, certain recommendations may be made as follows: - Considering how human-centeredness is an effective dimension to explain changes in green ethics and how such an aspect is internalized within the family, the family occupies the first position as the most effective social group in green ethics. Therefore, it deserves special attention from environment conservation programs. - A review of educational methods and systems is essential as well. Governments and policymakers can be the trustees to introduce changes and new methods in development. The compilation of a set of environmental behaviors as a guide for human-nature interactions and instructing it to the public and students is recommended. Meanwhile, the role of media (national TV, publications, etc.) to increase public awareness and sensitivity should not be overlooked. -Considering the necessity of the God-centered dimension in green ethics, religious preachers should enlighten the public on conserving and supporting the environment. Religious teachings can serve to enhance the adherence to ethical principles in this area as a mandatory affair in life.

Since the number of home businesses in the villages of Ghani Bigloo rural district increased by 4.5% to 230 during 2005-2002, the aim of this study is to analyze the factors that affect the business environment of home industries in the study area. Are. To do this, 8 villages out of a total of 33 villages were selected as a sample from among the rural settlement spatial patterns in which 1614 households live, and among these, 280 household heads were calculated as a sample size by the Cochran's formula and Morgan table. The collected information has three scales: relative, rank and distance, which can be analyzed at both household and village levels. Data analysis was performed with SPSS software and appropriate parametric and non-parametric tests and the following results were obtained: Most of those who turned to family businesses were middle-aged, illiterate or female-headed households, mostly due to economic constraints. They have moved in this direction and in this direction the fields of entrepreneurship, self-management and managerial family, upgrading and improving the current business situation, applying for licenses and forming cooperatives, applying for financial facilities and credits, trying to create new ideas and They did not pay attention to job diversity and the like. It is suggested that Dehyaran and the Islamic Council, within the scope of their authority, provide the ground for the recognition of these businesses and the establishment of cooperatives and rural micro-credit funds to improve the situation of these businesses.

One of the important strategies for development is diversification into economic activities. Since the village is at the core of the formation of human societies, the issue of the stability of the rural economy is very important. Villages usually have a single-product economy, which causes the villages to retreat from development. So, we should look at ways in which rural economies could be transformed into a dynamic and powerful economy by diversifying the economic activities of rural households. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of diversification into economic activities on the welfare of rural households in the study area. To identify the variables of diversifying the economic activity (independent variable of the research) through theoretical foundations and research background as well as through the interview and guidance of the professors in this field. The statistical population of this study was 8956 rural households living in 11 villages in the district part of Kerman County. Out of these, 384 households were selected through Cochran sampling and 412 households were normalized to normalize the data. Data were collected through a researcher questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient (.963). Data were analyzed by SPSS software using T-test single sample, regression and independent T-test. In the analysis, the villages of the study area were compared in terms of economic diversity and welfare. The results obtained from the hypothesis confirm the effect of the diversification into economic activities on the welfare of rural households. In fact, the results indicate that there is a significant difference between the households with and without the diversity of economic activities in terms of welfare. In other words, households with a variety of economic activities experience a higher level of welfare than non-diverse families.
