On this basis are applied the methodology of Environmental Impacts Assessment and the technique of Leopold Matrix. Implemented variables of this study include twelve economical dependent variables and six independent variables related to industrial units. Then the spatial alternatives in this study include two rural zones of Ahmadabad and Jaydasht. Ahmadabad rural zone in the present conditions is the location and concentration center of the agriculture-related industrial units, while Jaydasht rural zone is the established host of non-agriculture productive industrial units without direct relation to agricultural progresses. In the present conditions for establishment of agriculture-related and non-agriculture productive industries in Ahmadabad and Jaydasht alternatives respectively, the results of Leopold matrix indicated the values of the economical impacts equal to 83 and 67, respectively. Whereas changing the established pattern of industrial units in to alternatives, the predictive impact values will have decreased to 38 and 58 in Ahmadabad and Jaydasht rural zones, respectively. This decreasing trend from 83 to 38 (more than two time levels) will have had more importance and intensity in Ahmadabad rural zone. Therefore to strength of economical fundaments has been proposed the preservation of the present established pattern of industrial units and the perfection of the major useful impacts of economical indicators including employment ratio and per capita stored capital in the study area
