Abstract

The current research was carried out with the aim of examining and analyzing sustainable rural development with emphasis on the participation of local communities in the villages of Zarin-Dasht city. Two methods of library study and field survey were carried out. The results of the sample T-Tech test showed that the average obtained in the economic index is equal to 2.52, the socio-cultural index is 2.84, the environmental index is 2.84 and the institutional index is 3.144. In fact, the state of community participation Locality is unfavorable in all indicators except the institutional index.showed that 95% of the changes in the dependent variable (dimensions of sustainable development) are explained by the participation indicators of local communities. Also, the results showed that among the independent indicators included in the regression equation, the share of the indicator (social-cultural participation) in predicting positive changes in the dependent variable (sustainable development of rural areas) is more than other participation indicators. . Further, the results of the path analysis showed that the direct effects of institutional participation on the sustainability of villages are more than other indicators of participation, and the least direct effects are in institutional and environmental indicators. After investigating the relationship between participation and sustainable development of Zarin-Dasht villages, each village of Zarin-Dasht was ranked based on sustainable development with an emphasis on the participation of local communities. With a weight value of 3.543 in the economic dimension, 3.435 in the social dimension, 3.564 in the physical dimension and 3.576 in.
