The effectiveness of the country's cultural, social and economic program strategies in the development of rural areas is affected by the internal and external factors of these areas. The present research has been conducted with the aim of identifying the effective factors on the effectiveness of the strategies of the fifth plan in the development of the villages of Nazarabad township. The current research is qualitative in terms of methodology and developmental-applicative in terms of purpose. A semi-structured interview has been used to collect information and data. The participants in the research were two groups of experts from rural areas and experts from related executive bodies. The sampling used was purposeful sampling until theoretical saturation was reached, and finally 25 interviews were conducted with rural experts and executive bodies. A grounded theory approach has been used to analyze the data. According to the findings of the research, it has been concluded that the effectiveness of the strategies of the fifth development program, such as providing new services and preparing a priority plan for rural services, according to regional and local conditions; Organizing and establishing small and medium-sized production and service entrepreneurship and employment-generating activities in rural areas by providing financial and credit incentives, improving, renovating, reconstructing and securing the physical structure of the environment and rural housing based on the Islamic-Iranian architectural model with the participation of the people, the government and public institutions etc rural development has been influenced by internal and external factors. The supply and welfare system of the local community, strengthening of vital infrastructure, institutional-management capacity building, efficient monitoring and evaluation system, employment of expert manpower, promotion of social capital, coordination in the political and social structure of the established governments are among the factors that by analyzing the role of these factors in other rural areas, the policy making system can act in future development plans in a way to increase the effectiveness of the adopted strategies.

Iran’s rural sector faces many problems in terms of ecological, physical, economic and social dimensions. These problems lead to the situation in which villages become places for high-income urban groups, physical unrest, land use change, and a lack of attention to the process of developing policies and programs against their products and outcomes. As a result, the future of physical development in rural areas faces a serious challenge. The aim of the present study was to analyze the current situation in the framework of developing a spatial policy for the sustainable physical development of rural areas of the country. In this regard, both the content of rural development policies and the process of formulating these policies and the role of effective factors in it have been examined. The method of obtaining cognition in this research is qualitative, which is divided into two methods: 1- method of analysis of directional qualitative content; and 2 - Grand Theory. The results show that the existing spatial policy development framework for sustainable physical development of rural areas in Iran consists of policy factors, policy processes and policy content. Important factors such as the lack of general policies of the political system in rural development, centralism and the marginal position of rural society at the national level affect the framework of spatial policy development. Also, current policy processes, following the factors, have several challenges that include sectoral and centralized policies, as well as the lack of coherence and coordination of agencies in the development of programs. Therefore, solving these challenges requires reforming processes and institutions instead of expanding administrative organization, integrating agricultural and rural development policies, and ultimately creating and strengthening clusters, systems, and networks. Analysis of the qualitative content of the documents showed that the factors of planning, budgeting and formulation of national sustainable development strategy, the need for coordination of sectors and communication of different national and local levels as well as economic dimension, infrastructure-physical dimension have the greatest role and influence in developing spatial development policy of rural areas.

Human societies have historically been at risk and have always suffered harmful effects. Environmental hazards are increasingly occurring with growing diversity and extent of damage, especially in rural areas. Some factors such as closely related to the environment, deprivation, lack of awareness, and preparedness increase the vulnerability of rural areas. However, environmental hazards are inevitable phenomena and their only solution is to deal with and manage them. One of the approaches to dealing with environmental hazards and crises is resilience. The study area of the present study is exposed to different types of hazards and is in high vulnerability condition and it is necessary to measure its resilience. The present study is an applied one and its purpose is to investigate and explain the resilience of rural settlements in Boldaji district of Borujen county. The research method is descriptive-analytical and survey-based. Required data were collected using documentary and surveys at household level. The sample size was estimated to be 329 households according to the Cochran formula of 2276 families. Questionnaires were completed by simple random sampling. The results showed that the mean level of resilience in the social and physical dimensions were 3.45 and 3.23, respectively, considered as "desirable" level, in the economic dimension with a mean of 3.01 was an "average" level, and in the management dimension with a mean of 2.85 was a "undesirable" level. In addition, among the different villages, Avargan has the highest level of resilience and the lowest levels belong to Sultanabad and Aliabad. Overall, the resilience status in 21 percent of the villages was "appropriate", in 50 percent "moderate" and in about 29 percent "inappropriate".

Unemployment is a fundamental issue in world economy so that increase in employment and decrease in unemployment is an important indicator about of development. Iran not alone suffers from high unemployment rate but also the spatial distribution of unemployment rate is very solicitous. These papers with emphasis on exploratory spatial data analysis investigate the spatial distribution of unemployment rate in urban and rural areas with using data of census 2011. Results of exploratory spatial data analysis indicate clustering (positive spatial autocorrelation) and spatial heterogeneous in spatial distribution of urban and rural unemployment in Iran's counties. Therefore results of this paper can provide context for proper planning in order to obviation regional inequality in unemployment rate in Iran.
