Abstract

The theory of non-representation is especially related to employment and promises to create alternative jobs to maintain population and income in rural areas. In this regard, the creative village approach is a new concept in the postmodern space. After the discovery of new thinking and the creative mind in the direction of the creative village approach in Ujan-e Gharbi Rural District in Bostanabad county, the key drivers of the creative village were identified in the realm of non-representational theory. The simultaneous use of two qualitative and quantitative methods, i.e., phenomenology and foresight, in the form of a research method mixed with the method of tool development, is the method used in the present research, which is analytical-structural in nature and practical in terms of purpose. According to the results of the research, the creative village is a space consisting of drivers and effective formations relying on forward-looking "leadership" and multidimensional and divergent thinking along with the power of influence in the local society, which has the objective dimension of social "participation" (network of social interactions) as the first and The main condition is governing it and it has the necessary "flexibility" in the ability to establish a relationship with mutual respect (empathy); It provides the necessary platform for "initiative" and innovation in the path of entrepreneurship and the process of generating new ideas, and along with all these issues, it has the power of "risk-taking" in all types of venture investments.
