Abstract
This research, as can be inferred from it, is a concise essay on the outlines of the broad rural issues of Iran which has considered the matter from a special point of view, and has emphasized on the unknown aspects of human qualities and the role of thoughts and ideology in rural growth and development.
This attitude, while facing the probability of superficiality, has the advantage of comprehensive view. This is the general quality of such topics in social sciences and geography that, contrary to many other sciences, especially pure ones, which practice a deep consideration of limited areas of studies, are superficial but comprehensive. This characteristic of social and human sciences is, in one sense, a great privilege that makes them always examine and plan for humans and their environment from a position of control and knowledge of all aspects and facts with a broad and comprehensive view, and in the other direction It seems to be negative and deterrent, because they have to refuse restricting themselves to a certain issue and thus avoid exploring the depths of any natural or human problem; instead of compensating for this defect, they utilize the results of research in other fields, especially geology, botany , ecology, oceanography, hydrology, soil science, astronomy, archeology, economics, statistics, mathematics, architecture, etc.
