Abstract
Villages and villages in Iran are of great importance.The lack of attention to the spatial village,the ability and facilities of rural production,and the lack of attention to human resources in the plentiful areas are major problems in reaching the village of development.How rural areas in general and the agricultural sector are specifically affected by population changes requires a review of several factors. In this regard,recognizing the interactions between population changes and agricultural structures is essential.The location of Sardasht in the mountainous region has encountered the city with environmental constraints related to the growth of agricultural sector.Also,demographic changes have led to an increase in the scope of agricultural development constraints which has led to numerous consequences.In this research,the effect of quantitative and qualitative changes in the population of villages on agricultural structures has been investigated.The main ones are crop production method, population of agricultural workers,production methods and technology of agricultural sector in Sardasht city.Research methodology is based on library studies and surveying and survey.The statistical population of this study consists of 169villages in the central part of the study,of which32 villages were selected by random sampling method.To analyze the data,SPSS software was used.The results show that migration among the factors and demographic changes is the main factor of demographic changes and changes in the study area,which has been shown to decrease and demilitarize the region.Also,the results of T test show that demographic changes in the region have the most effects among agricultural structures,on the structure of the agricultural sector and indicates that in the studied area,agricultural activities do not meet the economic needs and employment situation in the region.Therefore,it is necessary to pay significant attention to increase income,reduce rural migration and create employment from environmental capabilities in order to create balance and employment in the region.

Abstract
Border villages face a number of problems, including economics, smuggling of goods and economic and social instability, due to the remoteness of the center and the presence of possible insecurities and geographical isolation. It is necessary to take advantage of opportunities related to border markets, strengthen the elements of rural participation to link and connect with the market and develop participatory planning and provide a good model in this regard. Accordingly, in this research, the relationship and links between border markets and surrounding villages with an emphasis on participatory planning and the provision of an optimal model for future development of this link in Sardasht city have been discussed. The statistical population is all the people of the rural community who are active in the markets directly or indirectly. The sample was obtained through the Cochran method, which are 335 people. The data and information gathering method has been collected using scrolling and field studies. In analyzing the data, a descriptive-analytical and explanatory analysis was conducted through SWOT analysis to present weaknesses, weaknesses, opportunities, threats and effective strategies in this field. The results show that the rule is much less than weaknesses, and the impact of markets on the development village is relative and limited, and the factors affecting popular participation are not relative and limited. The study of the internal and external factors of the strategies also shows that the contribution of external factors with a final weight of 3.296 is more than the internal factors with a final weight of 3.230. Accordingly, the use of networking and clustering strategies, new technologies, common markets, product market spectrum, and so on were introduced as key strategies. Also, the proposed pattern of research consists of four sections: motivators, propulsions, guides, developers and sponsors.

Abstract
Animal husbandry is one of the most important parts of protein and dairy products' section and it has the highest share in value-added agriculture after agronomy and horticulture. Population growth and food security achievement have made essential the development of this sub-section. Planners and policymakers have considered a new strategy to promote the competitive benefits of this section which is called "use of cluster approach" that ascertains the collaboration and competition of consolidated companies in a geographical area and their competitiveness and efficiency. The purpose of this research is applied and its method is analytical- descriptive. The questionnaire and semi-structured interview have been used to evaluate the structure of livestock products' cluster of Barouq rural system. The sequential mixed method has been used to analyze the data (the analysis of hierarchical and social network in NodExcel and Expert choice software). The results indicated that among five factors of cluster formation, geographical centralization and intercompany relationships have been the most influential. Although there are essential vertices for cluster development such as geographical centralization, suppliers, producers, processing units and the market to form and make up the cluster of vertical and horizontal intercompany relationships, the institutional environment and cluster strategy are inefficient. Network density 0.191 for graph with 16 Vertices and 23 unique edges is lower than unit 1 and shows the incomplete cluster network in the status quo. These deficiencies can prepare the missing link in livestock product value chain by using the strategies such as responsible exploitation monitoring and protection of pastures, increase and development of complementary industries of animal husbandry sector and the creation of intercompany relationships and they provide cluster activity and a step for regional development.

Abstract
Access to the rural transportation system is an essential part of the economy and it is one of the components that can be effective in the economic development of rural areas. In this regard, to clarify the issue in detail, in the current quantitative research, data collection was done through a questionnaire tool and the relationship between the accessibility of the transportation system and the economic development of rural areas in the form of 8 indicators at the level of 30 villages and 368 sample households in Asadabad city. Descriptive and inferential form was measured. The findings reveal that all the indicators of access to the transportation system have been effective on the economic development indicators of the rural areas of Asadabad city. Also, a significant relationship was observed between the access of the villages to the transportation system and the improvement of their economic development according to their settlement system in plain, foothills, and mountainous locations. In other words, in addition to the accessibility to the transportation system and the distance of the villages to the urban and rural market centers, the location of the villages has been effective in the economic development of the villages. Based on the standardized beta coefficient of the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable, the results show that the effect coefficients for each of the indicators of the rural transportation system are positive and the significance level is less than (0.05); that the direct and significant effect of each of the indicators of the rural transportation system on the economic development of rural areas has been confirmed. It can be said that based on the Beta values, in the order of improvement of transportation services, 0.341 had the most effect and the least effect was the expansion of transportation infrastructure 0.270.

Abstract
Network is a concept used to understand organizational relationships among economic players. Business networks have formed from interactions in the social network of organizations and are powerful mechanisms for establishing connections. The main goal of this research is to analyze the spatial network of communication among poultry farmers in Shazand county in terms of coherence and internal and external group links through the E-I grouping index, separating by geographical levels of village, district, and section. The more external group relationships there are, the higher social capital will be present, leading to higher social cohesion. This research is exploratory in nature and based on a descriptive-analytical method. The statistical population of this research consisted of all poultry farmers in the villages of Shazand county in 2023 (68 poultry farms). The required data and initial information were collected through interviews. The results of network analysis showed that the E-I grouping index in social relationships among poultry farmers was 4.97% at the village level, 4.75% at the district level, and 7.41% at the section level, indicating a very high tendency for intra-group communication among poultry farmers at the village level. According to research findings, the power of intra-group communication among poultry farmers at the village level is significantly higher than that at the district and section levels. The spatial analysis of E-I index findings in relationships between poultry farmers based on village, district, and section indicates a greater tendency for intra-group communication. Considering the importance of geographical distance, wind direction, traffic flow, direct communication in pollution and disease transmission between farms, as well as maintaining stability and health of farms and avoiding various types of pollution and diseases and specific environmental conditions... Intra-group communication among farms at the village, district, and section levels has increased while there is a decrease in inter-group communication.

Abstract
Spatial planning approaches along with complication of societies are being changed. These changes and transformations have reflected themselves in increasing diversification of economic patterns, people, group, organization, and institution’s mobility. While in less developed network societies some of the concepts including “distance” and “movement “are relatively losing their importance , some fairly new ones such as “time “ and “timespace convergence “ are gaining ground .As a matter of fact, problems associated with spatial planning in less developing economies possess different nature. Appropriate response to these problems require application of compatible strategic planning as well as changes in planning style .Structuralfunctional approaches as a strategic planning tool regarding organization of space at different levels and scales within new social geography framework tries to explain complex aspects of spatial organization in less developed societies as well as to find solutions with respect to rooted functional-structural relation problems. The major objective of this paper is to compile the needed materials regarding such a unique strategic spatial planning.

Abstract
Despite all initiatives and endeavors, Iran’s rural communities are encountering with challenges regarding the achievement of comprehensive development. Space economy is associated with location distribution of economic activities as well as movement and flow of population, goods, services, and capital. These in turn, would have great impact upon the development level of different settlement including towns and countries and their interrelations. The major objective of this study is to investigate the impact of space economy upon rural development. The study area is Shaft district located in Gilan providence. Data gathering technique is tied to direct observation, interview with local folks as well as filling questionnaire .This is further supported by application of inferential statistics including regression correlation techniques and top SIS model. This study suggests that concentrated social-economic system is associated with imbalanced location of economic activities. It is argued that spatial arrangement of economic activities is major determinant of flow of population, goods, services, and capital and further influence regional development of rural as well as urban nodes. This in turn, would question the qualification of rural
development.

Abstract
The major objective of this paper is to determine the impact of inappropriate planning on economic function and further to explain the link between oil rent and rural development. The research method is based on descriptive-analytical one. However, this analysis is geared toward combination of institutionalized pattern with emphasis on dependency upon marched path and political economy rent. This study suggests that the failure of our policy constitute the major core of the problem. This similarly exemplified itself in different historic periods with or without dependency upon oil. This paper further tries to propose some
suggestions and recommendations in order to get out of this political failure phenomena.

Abstract
Spatial distributions of rural settlements in Iran represent an imbalanced nature. The major objective of this study is to investigate the spatial patterns of Iranian rural settlements using certain indicators and indices .It further tries to propose a model regarding the analysis of spatial imbalances. This study further supported by application of modifiable areal unit problem(MAUP) suitable for aggregated data. It consists of both general as well as local scale pertaining to aggregation problem. Chosen area for the purpose of combination represent an arbitrary nature .However; areal units can be meaningful in displaying the same base level data. For the purpose of modeling and selection of basic unit, the hexagonal model long associated with geography is used. The spatial statistical methods were the global measure of Moran's I and Local Indicators of Spatial Association(LISA). While Moran's I provides information on the overall spatial distribution of the data, LISA provides information on types of spatial association at the local level. LISA statistics can also be used to identify influential locations in spatial association analysis. Spatial analysis can identify imbalances with respect to settlement distribution. This study suggests that different indices will hold different results regarding spatial rural imbalances.

Abstract
Today, with an increasingly global population, agricultural production systems should meet the growing needs of food by using the new technologies. Increases in the level of production have inevitably resulted in some environmental issues. Addressing these problems require the application of organic farming as a sustainable way of agriculture system which possesses many promised advantages. However, the development of this agricultural system faces many obstacles regarding farmers. This study aimes to qualitatively analyze the barriers and problems with respect to development of organic farming. Interviews was conducted with emphasis on Focus Group Discussion (24 Organic Growers) in Darrehshahr county (Ilam Province). Data analysis were done via both application of qualitative research method, clustering and categorizing gathered data. This study suggests that obstacles such as infrastructure, economic, lack of knowledge and awareness, technical and managerial supports, motivational and attitudinal issues were the main barriers and problems regarding the development of organic farming. These results can help agricultural planners and policy makers to improve and accelerate the development of organic farming as well as producing healthy crops.

Abstract
The construction of industrial towns and regions are being considered as an important strategies regarding rural development. However, Iran is not an exception. It is being argued that by 2010, there exists 335 industrial regions. This in turn, could explain prominent changes associated with rural areas. The research method of this study is based on descriptive- analytical method. 50 out of 139 employed people were extracted. This study further is supported by application of McNamara and Wilcoxon non-parametric tests. This study suggests that there exists signification difference and variation with regard to income, variance in occupations, job satisfaction as well as security, improvement in nutrition and quality of life indices. However, there are not major significant variations regarding community participation, ownership, and rural inertia.
