Rural management development is a fundamental strategy for achieving sustainable development. However, the current rural management system in Iran faces challenges, such as lack of development and inefficiency. Therefore, it is crucial to explore how rural management can address emerging issues in the future. This study focused on Jiroft County and aimed to identify the key factors and driving forces that influence rural management development. By using data analysis techniques, such as MICMAC and ScenarioWizard, along with the SOAR method, we examined the future scenarios and strategies necessary for implementation of rural management in Jiroft County. The findings revealed that 24 factors were instrumental in improving and developing rural management in the county. Among these factors, "adequate access to credits and financial resources" had the most significant impact on rural management and its development. The study highlighted that the current state of rural management in Jiroft County was largely unsustainable and it predicted that the existing conditions governing the rural management system would undergo changes in the near future. Based on the identified key factors, we generated 9 scenarios for the future development of rural management in Jiroft County. To achieve the most desirable scenario, it was essential to pursue 11 strategies and solutions. One of the proposed operational suggestions was to establish collaborative agreements with institutions and organizations both within and outside the village to effectively coordinate and manage all village affairs. 

The International Carbon Sequestration Project addresses issues related to natural resources, carbon sequestration and green space development, and the conservation of natural resources with the full participation of local people. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to analyze the development effects of carbon sequestration project with the approach of sustainable rural development in Esfarayen. The type of applied research is the descriptive-analytical method used and library and field methods have been used to collect data. The statistical population of this study includes the statistical population of the study including 8 villages whose total population is covered by the carbon sequestration project in Esfarayen city. Therefore, based on the Cochran's formula and a reliability coefficient of 0.95, 244 heads of households were randomly selected as a sample among rural households. Data were also collected through a structured questionnaire. Data analysis showed that achieving the desired result based on analysis of variance test is not equal and there is a difference between satisfaction with the dimensions of the design. So that the carbon sequestration plan has not had a positive effect on the region's economy, but in social dimensions (such as empowerment, participation, reduction of migration) and environmental (environmental protection, rangeland conservation, optimal use of resources) has been relatively desirable. Because the local people are not completely satisfied with the economic results of the project based on its goals and it has not been able to affect the family's livelihood.

Agriculture has a fundamental and decisive role in the fate of the rural society of Iran, and it cannot be expected to achieve rural development without having a stable and logical solution for agriculture. The statistical population of this research is all the people of Gomand village in Haris city, there are 891 people, equivalent to 251 households. The results showed that among the strengths, boom of livestock activities and production of dairy products due to having rich pastures around the village with a weight equal to 4.40 and relatively suitable topography and easy access to the main roads and Tabriz-Ahar road with a weight equal to 4.36 are the most important strengths, and among the weaknesses, weakness of people's participation With a weight of 4.74, and the low income level of the villagers With a weight equal to 4.52 are the most important weaknesses point for sustainable rural development in Gomand village was recognized from the farmers' point of view. Also, among the opportunities, non-agricultural employment opportunities in the village with a weight of 4.54, and The existence of a committed and efficient villager and Islamic council in the village with a weight of 4.48 are the most important opportunities, and among the threats, the lack of job opportunities in the village and the migration of young people from the village to obtain more income. With a weight of 4.70, and Instability of laws and policies of the country with a weight of 4.62 are the most important threats to sustainable rural development in Gomand village was recognized from the farmers' point of view. The results of the evaluation matrices of internal and external factors showed that according to the overall final score obtained for internal and external factors, the sustainable development strategies of Gomand village are revision strategies.

In recent years, the significance of focusing on the concept of sustainable rural development and its role in national development and planning frameworks has grown substantially. Hence, the primary goal of this study is to examine the relationship and impact of social capital components on the sustainable development of rural settlements in Ardal County. The research methodology is descriptive-analytical and survey-based, utilizing a survey and field data collection approach. Twenty-six out of the inhabited villages in Ardal County, representing 30% of the total, were selected as sample villages for this study. Data analysis was carried out using the statistical method of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Smart-PLS software. The findings indicate a low level of social capital within the studied villages, with an average value of 2.3. The Kendall correlation test demonstrated a significant relationship between the independent variables (social awareness, social participation, social trust, and social network) and sustainable rural development, with Azizabad and Alikoh villages showing the highest correlation. The bootstrap test results based on t-values confirmed the significance of the relationships between the research variables. Notably, social network and social cohesion exhibited the highest t-values and correlations. The social dimension, with a statistic of 30.466, displayed a stronger connection to sustainable development compared to other dimensions. Through investigation and assessment of direct and indirect relationships within the model, it was revealed that, according to the villagers, the social networks variable had the most substantial impact on sustainable development with an effect coefficient of 0.360, while social awareness had the least influence. Path analysis further indicated that the components of social capital could predict 0.90% of the variations in sustainable development within the region.

Sustainable rural development is a holistic approach in rural development. Rural development in Iran has not been fully realized in the past few decades because it has had problems and challenges for rural development planners and policy makers in different dimensions. The lack of comprehensive and unified management in the administrative structure has added to the above problems to achieve rural development. Based on this, rural management is very important in achieving sustainable rural development in Iran. In the new management system of the country, the management of villages has been entrusted to councils and dehiaris. In this research, the performance of dehiaris and councils has been evaluated in order to achieve sustainable rural development in Barnetin village of Rodan city in Hormozgan province. In this research, a descriptive-analytical method has been used, and a closed questionnaire whose validity and reliability have been confirmed has been used to collect data. The sample size is 329 household heads, which was calculated using Cochran's formula. In this research, spss software and chi-square, Friedman, and T-test were used for data analysis. The results of the Chi-square test show that the level of satisfaction with the performance of rural local management in the economic index (2.32) is lower than other indicators. The results of the f test show that the village of Kahnushtri is at a higher level than other villages in terms of physical, spatial (2.81), ecological (3.21), social (2.87), cultural (3.47) and Abgarman village in the economic field (2.46). It is at a higher level compared to other villages. Also, in the cultural field of Barnetin village (2.5), it is at a lower level than other villages.

Since villages are the main cells of Iran's economic life, so the stability of the rural economy is a vital corridor to achieve the stability of the national economy. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of recognizing the level of economic sustainability of the villages of Langroud county; The data collection tools in the present study include documentary methods in the form of libraries and field methods in the form of questionnaires. The statistical population of this study includes the Rural managers with 20 households and more in the county of Langroud and a total of 110 people in 7 rural areas of this city, which has been studied in a total number. In this study, in order to investigate the level of economic sustainability of villages, the sustainability barometer method was used. Binomial test was also used to compare the research components. The results showed that the level of economic stability in rural settlements of the city in the three components of justice, stability and welfare and finally, overall economic stability, were significantly different. The results of the level of sustainability of the studied components showed that economic justice, economic stability, economic welfare, and finally the economic sustainability of the villages in the region are at a weak level. In terms of the level of economic stability, the highest level has the villages of Klidbar, Sigarud, and the lowest level of economic stability have the villages of Fetideh and Koholboon.

Achieving development goals is impossible without paying attention to the role of women, and rural women play a key role as one of the main actors in achieving the Millennium Development Goals.The present study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the factors preventing and promoting the development of rural women's participation in Sardaba district. The current research is practical in terms of its purpose, and the method used in it is a combined method with a sequential exploratory approach that uses both qualitative and quantitative approaches. In the first phase, using the qualitative method of qualitative content analysis, the data collected through the review of available sources and interviews, key concepts were extracted from the text of notes and interviews, and during open coding, 18 inhibiting factors and 17 promoting factors were divided into three groups. The main economic, socio-cultural and political factors were identified. Then in the quantitative phase, using the survey method; The extracted indicators were ranked and analyzed. The necessary technique to obtain the required data is library and field (questionnaire). The statistical population of the present study is the population of women in 11 villages of Sardaba village in the central part of Ardabil city with a population of 3179. To determine the sample size, Cochran's formula was used, and according to this formula, the statistical sample number was 345. Structural equation method and Lisrel software were used to analyze the data. The ranking based on the standardized factor load showed that socio-cultural factor with an effect factor of 0.95, political factor with an effect factor of 0.92, and economic factor with an effect factor of 0.89 are the most important factors hindering the development of rural women's participation. In terms of promoting factors, the political factor with an effect factor of 0.94 is the most important promoting factor in the development of rural women's participation. The socio-cultural factor with an effect factor of 0.90 is the second group, followed by the economic factors with an effect factor of 0.86 as factors that promote the development of rural women's participation.

Introduction :

Due to the vastness of the geographical territory of Iran's nomadic society, there are many rural settlements in this biological space. Despite their many capacities, they face challenges such as poverty, unemployment, immigration, etc. Meanwhile, the development of tourism entrepreneurship can be an important capacity in order to solve the challenges of development in these villages.Purpose of the research: Investigating the impact of tourism entrepreneurship indicators on sustainable rural development in Ardel county is the main goal of this research.

This research was done with a combination of survey and descriptive-analytical methods. The statistical population includes 7574 heads of households and Using Sample Power software, 220 people were considered as a statistical sample. The main tool for collecting field data is a questionnaire whose validity and reliability have been confirmed. A stratified sampling method was used to distribute the questionnaires. Questionnaires were distributed among 18 villages of Ardal county, which were selected purposefully and the final sampling was done by simple random method. SPSS software was used for experiment and data analysis.Geographical area of research: The geographical territory of this study is Ardel county located in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province.

The findings showed that in the fitted regression model, the independent variables of the research explain 36% of the variable of sustainable rural development. Among the indicators of tourism entrepreneurship, the social-cultural compatibility index with a beta coefficient of 0.556 has had the greatest effect on sustainable rural development.

Considering that tourism entrepreneurship has an effect on sustainable rural development, it seems necessary and logical to develop and promote tourism entrepreneurship through the support of the public and private sectors, taking into account the active participation of villagers in this process. Because by following this process, sustainable rural development can be strengthened.

Rural living has been the most usual way of life all through history until the last two decades. Rural architecture, in its pure local sense, is among the sustainable features of rural areas that have undergone noticeable changes recently. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of vernacular architecture on sustainable rural development. This research is practical and descriptive-analytical based on the survey method. Data were collected using both library and field methods. Participants were from two groups of residents and experts. Thirty experts and 354 residents were surveyed based on the Cochran formula. Nine villages were selected using the cluster-spatial metod. Then, the household proportion questionnaires were distributed. The results indicate that in the sight of both local residents and experts with the frequency of 25.60% and 33.34% most important obstacle to vernacular architecture rural development is residents’ tendency toward modernity. The most crucial solution to this issue according to the local residents is the cultivation and use of local knowledge (with a frequency of 16.5%). However, experts consider creating desirable facilities in villages (with a frequency of 30%) as the most important factor. Regarding house architecture changes, the highest average for both groups (3.6 and 3.63) is related to the architecture change toward modernization. Results of the one-sample t-test revealed that, regarding environmental aspects, the local inhabitants’ sample average was 3.27 and the experts’ average was 3.98. Regarding economic aspects, the local inhabitants’ sample average was 3.50 and the experts’ average was 3.63; regarding social aspects, the local inhabitants’ sample average was 3.70 and the experts’ average was 3.83. Thus, this research suggests that rural architecture strongly affects sustainable rural development. Regarding environmental aspects, the local inhabitants’ sample average was 3.27 and the experts’ average was 3.98. With respect to economic aspects, the local inhabitants’ sample average was 3.50 and the experts’ average was 3.63. Considering social aspects, the local inhabitants’ sample average was 3.70 and the experts’ average was 3.83. Therefore, considering that the results are above the average (3), it can be said that native architecture has a great impact on sustainable rural development from the point of view of both groups.

the current research was conducted to analyze and investigate the impact of livelihood assets on the sustainability of rural women's livelihood in Gachsaran City. Analysis and investigation of the effect of the effective factors on the livelihood of the rural women in Gachsaran City. The statistical population of the research included 500 rural women randomly in Gachsaran City, of which 139 were selected and surveyed by simple random method. The data collection tool was a questionnaire. The validity of the research tool was confirmed by the professors of the University of Tehran's promotion and development department and subject experts, and its reliability was calculated and confirmed using Cronbach's alpha test during the distribution of 30 questionnaires in the pre-test stage. LISREL 8.8 and SPSS 26 software were used to perform statistical tests. Also, to investigate the impact of livelihood assets on the sustainability of rural women's livelihood, it was done using the structural equation modeling method with the help of Lisrel 8.8 software. The results showed that the independent variables studied (five capitals) were able to explain 60.13 percent of the variance of the dependent variable, i.e. sustainable livelihood of rural women in Gachsaran City. Also, the goodness of fit indices showed that the structural model of the research has a good and acceptable fit. In addition, the human capital index (λ = 0.61) was assigned the first importance and priority for measuring the sustainable livelihood of rural women. Based on this, among the solutions to improve the livelihood of rural women are: 1) Organizations and other planning and policy-making officials pay due attention to the activities of rural women and improve the field of improving their livelihood according to the existing conditions. 2) In order to help poor and vulnerable rural women and families, they can act by providing appropriate financial assistance, such as setting up rural micro-funds.

In the current era, various measures and measures have been used in rural settlements to achieve development as much as possible; that social capital is considered as a central principle and a way to achieve sustainable development, as a key principle in the local community and one of the most important vital elements and cohesion of the society. Today, social capital, especially in relation to social and economic welfare, can be the main result of balanced development and as a comprehensive approach to achieve sustainable development in rural areas. The current research was conducted with the aim of identifying the effect of social-economic well-being on the social capital of rural households in South Ilaq village under Bolbanabad district located in Dehgolan city. This research is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of nature it is placed in the framework of descriptive-analytical method. The necessary statistics and information were collected in two ways, library and field survey, which in the field study section, the main focus was based on the questionnaire tool. The statistical population under study includes all villages with more than 20 households in South Ilaq district. In order to determine the size of the samples, 220 households were selected by stratified random sampling using Cochran's formula. To analyze the data, Pearson's correlation coefficient test and multivariate regression were used in the SPSS software environment. The research results indicate that there is a significant and positive relationship between social welfare and economic welfare with social capital; And according to the obtained correlation coefficient, economic prosperity has a higher correlation with social capital. Also, the findings indicate that according to the determination coefficient in the regression, social and economic well-being have a direct effect on social capital. As a result, social welfare and economic welfare, by creating a network of communication and coordination with social capital, provide the basis for achieving development and especially sustainable rural development.

Many years have passed since the initiation and implementation of sustainable rural development projects in the country of Iran, however, rural communities in many regions of the country still face numerous challenges. In this regard, government planners and administrators have made efforts to address the issues and problems of rural areas by presenting new approaches. Accordingly, the current research aims to provide a different approach to rural development by critically and comparatively analyzing traditional approaches in rural development planning. Therefore, the present research is of a developmental type, and the research method is analytical-interpretive, with data collection primarily based on library and documentary research. The findings of the study indicate that the top-down approach based on the endogenous approach and sectoral planning still dominates the rural development system in Iran, and as a result, the desired development of rural communities nationwide has not been achieved. The results show that sustainable rural development can be facilitated at the national level by incorporating the characteristics of a territorial approach. This suggests that a proposal beyond agriculture should be based on the participation of all stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of social factors and rural institutions, and incorporating both agricultural and non-agricultural occupations, considering the interrelationships between agricultural, industrial, and service sectors, and most importantly, it should be inconsistent with a spatial perspective on urban-rural relations. Therefore, the process of rural development in the country would be economically rational, socially equitable, and environmentally responsible.

In the last two decades, the concept of social capital has been emphasized due to its relationship with basic social components including awareness, participation, trust, cohesion and social network for sustainable development of communities, especially rural communities. In addition to social capital We are also dealing with physical, economic, human, natural and institutional, which are also interrelated. Therefore, in order to achieve sustainable rural development, having these development investments is essential. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of development capital in the sustainable development of rural settlements and its spatial analysis in Bojnourd. The present research is descriptive-analytical and its type is fundamental in terms of purpose. Documentary and field methods have been used to collect information. The sample population is 22 villages with more than 20 households in Bojnourd city and from a total of 4849 households living in the sample rural areas, with Cochran's formula, the sample size of 298 households was calculated and these individuals were selected by random sampling method. To test the conceptual model of the research and to investigate the effect of development capital on the sustainable development of rural settlements, the partial least squares technique and Smart PLS software were used. According to the results, the coefficients of t between the main variables of the study are more than 2.58, ie the relationship is significant and indirect; Thus, types of development capital have a positive and significant effect on sustainable development of rural settlements and social capital with a coefficient of 0.443 has the most direct impact on sustainable rural development, but in general, economic capital with a coefficient of 0.918 has the highest and natural capital with a coefficient of -0/147 Has the least impact on the sustainable development of rural settlements. And the independent variable predicts 93.1% of the variance of the sustainable rural development variable.

Today, the development of the village or any settlement system, compared to the past, has a wide connection with the concept of management, and in fact, management is an influential factor in development that can not only accelerate the development process but can be said to be the only factor to  Achieve development. Effective rural management requires the use of new managerial perspectives, which is one of the new approaches to good governance, in other words, good rural governance. In this regard, the present study aims to; Explanation and investigation of the effective components on the realization of good rural governance in rural settlements, the central district of Poldakhtar county and the Mosian district of Dehloran county have been compiled. Data collection is based on library and survey resources. The statistical population is studied by experts and specialists in the field. Demitel technique was used to analyze the data. The relationship between good governance and sustainable rural development was assessed according to the type of research data using Pearson test. The results of causal relations in Demetel method show that in the central district of  Poldakhtar county; The components of efficiency and effectiveness were identified as the most effective and legality of the most impression indicator, and in the Mosian district of Dehloran county, the component of intercession was identified as the most effective and justice indicator as the most impression indicator of good rural governance. Findings of correlation coefficients of good governance and rural sustainability variables in the central district of Poldakhtar indicate that there is a positive relationship between rural governance and the components of legality, responsibility, collective agreement and justice and sustainability and all its components except social sustainability (p≤0.05). Findings of correlation coefficients of variables of good governance and rural sustainability in Mosian district of Dehloran county indicate that there is not a significant relationship between rural governance and the components of participation, responsibility, collective agreement and efficiency and effectiveness with sustainability and components of social, economic and environmental sustainability(p>0.05).

The purpose of this research is to determine the social challenges of the local managers of the villages of Shaft city in the process of sustainable rural development. The current research is applied in terms of purpose and analytical in terms of descriptive method. The required information has been obtained through documentary sources and field studies. The statistical population included local managers of 94 inhabited villages (389 people) in Shaft city, who completed the questionnaire using the full number method. Data analysis was done through factor analysis technique and with 31 variables.The results of the research show that low participation of villagers with local managers in rural development programs, lack of trust or low confidence of villagers in local managers, high expectations of villagers from local managers and limited power of Islamic councils and villagers are the most important social challenges and disregard for opinions and The customs of the people in rural management, the low cooperation of the members of the Islamic Council with the villagers, the failure to encourage the people to cooperate in the maintenance and operation of facilities are the least important social challenges in the path of sustainable development in Shaft. The results of the factor analysis show that the most important social challenges of local managers in the villages of Shaft county include security, education, participation, migration, trust, social deficiencies and investment, and the investment challenge with a factor load of 0.848 has the greatest impact on the sustainable development process.The participation and cooperation of villagers in the maintenance and operation of village facilities, taking advantage of the experiences of knowledgeable and literate people, and holding regular training courses for local managers are among the most important practical solutions to reduce the social challenges of local managers in the villages of Shaft county.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction between city and village and its effects on sustainable tourism development in the villages of Esfarayen.The present research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of implementation method.The statistical population of the study consists of the villagers of Esfarayen. According to the 2016 census, Esfarayen city had a population of 120513 people equal to 36519 households. Using Cochran's formula and with a 95% error coefficient, 382 people were selected as the sample size.One-sample t-test and multivariate regression analysis were used to analyze the research findings.The results of one-sample t-test showed that the effects of urban-rural relations on the economic index with an average of 3.134, social index with an average of 3.170 and physical index with an average of 3.144 are positive and desirable and only on the biological index.An environment with an average of 2.894 is negative and undesirable.Also,the results of multivariate regression showed that the relations between urban and rural areas had the greatest impact on the economic dimension with a beta coefficient of 0.398 and the physical dimension with a beta coefficient of 0.322; And had the least effect with a beta coefficient of 0.154,on the environmental dimension and then on the social dimension with a beta coefficient of 0.265.The general results of the study indicate the fact that increasing communication between urban and rural areas leads to sustainable rural development and prevents the depopulation of villages.

The prosperity of tourism in any geographical place, along with the positive and negative economic and social consequences, has environmental effects that, if the negative effects of tourism continue, can cause irreparable damage. The present study aims to assess the environmental effects of tourism on the sustainable development of rural areas of Namin city. The research method in this study is applied in terms of purpose and based on the descriptive-analytical nature, the data of which have been collected based on field studies. The statistical population of the study consists of 11 tourist villages of Namin city with a population of 5471 people. The sample size was estimated based on Cochran's formula of 98 people, which was distributed according to the number of heads of households in each village. In order to study the environmental effects of tourism in the studied villages, 10 indicators and 33 indicators based on the studies of other researchers were used. The face validity of the questionnaire was examined by experts and its total reliability was estimated 0.88 based on Cronbach's alpha. The general results of the study showed that in terms of sustainability, the studied villages are in a moderate stability situation with 0.44 points. Also, among the studied villages, none of the villages are in a stable condition. It is relatively unstable and Khankandi village is in an unstable situation.

One of the most important stages of an academic research is choosing a certain suitable theoretical framework. Therefore, this research aimed to find a theoretical framework according to the prerequisites for sustainable rural development. A theoretical framework is a perspective and a school of thought based on which a research is organized. There are different theoretical frameworks and schools in economic knowledge, which can explain issues differently. Therefore, an appropriate theoretical framework should be chosen to identify a specific subject and analyze its related issues. Accordingly, to analyze and identify the issues related to sustainable rural development, it is necessary to use an appropriate theoretical framework that can provide a more realistic explanation. Thus, the data were analyzed using a descriptive-analytical method, and the most important prerequisites for sustainable rural development were identified by referring to the literature. According to the results, education, human development, institutional regime, social development, improvement of productivity, environment, equality, improvement of infrastructure, promotion of non-agricultural employment, and technology were recognized as the most important prerequisites for sustainable rural development, most of which having an institutional nature. Therefore, the best theoretical framework that can explain and analyze the issues related to sustainable rural development and provide more realistic explanation is “institutional economics”.
