Ultimate goal of these endeavors is improving life quality and reducing rural poverty. Methodology: Using qualitative and quantitative analysis methods, this research investigates the impacts of tourism on different aspects of Vali-e-Asr village of Marvdasht County, Fars, Iran. The main research question is that has tourism had any impacts on economic, socio-cultural and environmental aspects of the residents of Vali-e-Asr village in the vicinity of Persepolis? To answer this question, 20 indicators including economic, socio-cultural and environmental have been identified and the impact of each indicator has been ranked based on experts’ opinions. For collecting data, 12 interviews were conducted with experts and 67 questionnaires from rural households have been completed. Findings: The results show that although tourism has had positive impacts on cultural and environmental aspects like language skills and raising awareness of residents about the environment, for the economic aspect despite creating limited direct and indirect jobs it failed in reducing rural poverty. Research limitation: The major limitation of the study is the lack of accurate statistics about the number of foreigners visiting the Persepolis. Practical implications: The most practical solutions are removal of obstacles and limitations preventing people from participation in tourism activities. On the other hand, since no NGOs are allowed to compete with governmental organizations, there is no competition among stakeholders in the region and benefits of tourism are restricted to government institutions. Hence, all stakeholders should be allowed to participate in tourism activities.}, keywords = {Tourism,Poverty,Persepolis,Vali-e-Asr Village}, url = {https://jrrp.um.ac.ir/article_25956.html}, eprint = {https://jrrp.um.ac.ir/article_25956_6c5c6b12c22fc0d8f2714c70c230da43.pdf} } @article { author = {Moradi, Nosrat and Ghanbari, Yosouf and Veisi, Elham and Bahari, Isa and Yousofzadeh, Edris}, title = {An Investigation into Unequal Housing Indices in Rural Areas of West Azarbaijan}, journal = {Journal of Research and Rural Planning}, volume = {4}, number = {2}, pages = {51-65}, year = {2015}, publisher = {Ferdowsi University of Mashhad}, issn = {2783-2791}, eissn = {2783-2007}, doi = {10.22067/jrrp.v4i2.36421}, abstract = {Purpose: The present study is aimed at analyzing imbalances and enjoyment levels of West Azarbayjan townships in terms of enjoyment of rural housing indices. Methodology: Required data of 38 indices that used in the present research, were gathered from general population survey of Iran's Statistics Center in 2011. Said indices were grouped in four categories as infrastructure and welfare, structure safety, facilities and services of health. Then these indices were analyzed using TOPSIS model. Finally, the rural areas of West Azarbayjan province classified based on cluster analysis, and enjoyment levels of them displayed on the map using ArcGIS software. Findings: The results showed that the highest inequality and least enjoyment of townships belong to rural housing health indices and the least inequality to structure safety. The result of combined indices showed that more than half of the West Azarbayjan province townships are in good conditions in enjoyment of rural housing indices and the rest townships are located in middle and less than middle status. Comparison of the results in separated groups and combined indices showed that there is inequalities and imbalances in separated groups than combined indices. Whiles this inequality in combined indices is much less and there is homogeneity among townships in terms of enjoyment in rural housing indices. Research limitation: Accessibility to more accurate and more detailed informations and also defects related to a special model for measuring situation of rural housing indices can be one of the most important limitations in the present study. Practical implications: In order to make regional equalities and move forwards to sustainable development, it is necessary that the housing development policies focus on the rural less populated and isolated areas. Otherwise, the rural housing problem can lead to more inequalities and rural exoduses. Original/value: Identification of inequalities and imbalances in the context of geographical regions is one of the most important tools for planning.

The questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS software and ARC GIS was used in order to create the maps. Statistical community is farmer members (2678 people) living in 12 villages covered with rural production cooperatives. To assess the performance of rural production cooperatives, based on the Topsis technique, eleven indexes in 12 villages are compared and ranked. The impacts of rural production cooperatives on the sustainable agricultural development are analyzed, based on many indicators, including 13 economic indicators, 16 social indicators and 20 environmental indicators. Findings: The average of the three dimensions of economic, social and environmental sustainability was calculated 2.74, 2.41 and 3.33. On this basis, the cooperative effect of the stronger social sustainability, but economic sustainability in the medium and the environmental sustainability of the impact has been poor. The analytical results indicate that the performance of the rural production cooperatives in most villages has not been successful.
