In far past, the local management of rural areas was considered by large and small land owners. During the land reform of 1960s and the removal of large landowners from rural scene, the authority and responsibility of local and traditional management reached to its minimum level, and govenmentalization of rural areas increased rapidly. Consequently, rural people participation in decision making was declined considerably. This has continued to the present time in the new forms of Islamic Rural Councils and Village Assistance Offices.In this study the importance of rural management was discussed and its ignorance considered as a barrier to development. Any design of rural management system should be based on trust and beliefs of rural people.

The rural management system in Iran has gone through complex transformation in relation to socioeconomic structures in recent years. Generally, it can be said that rural management in Iran had been centralized and kept under the control of landlords, bailiffs and headmen of villages till 1962, and since then up to 1979 it was in the forms of village associations, and house of justice, with village headmen cooperation. After the revolution of 1979, the village councils have been established that were channels through which some government related organizations implemented their policies. The importance of the subject and the quantity of villages in the Sistan, led us to conduct the study in the region. The main hypothesis of the study was that councils had a positive performance towards the achievement of sustainable rural development. To this end 500 questionnaires were completed. The results indicated that councils had positive performances except in cases which lacked necessary facilities or credit.
