Abstract

Idealism as a motivating factor can pave the way for the development of human societies, especially in rural areas. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of idealism on rural development in the Sistan region. This research is based on the descriptive-analytical method and is applied in terms of purpose. Documentary and survey methods were used to collect information. The sample size per village unit was determined using the Sharp correction formula of 40 villages. According to Cochran's formula, the sample size for the head of the household unit was 381. The validity of the researcher-made questionnaire was confirmed by experts on the subject, and the reliability coefficient was 0/856. Spearman correlation coefficient, analysis of variance and taxonomic methods were used to investigate the effects of rural idealism on rural development. The results of the taxonomy of development by leveling rural idealism showed that the highest number in both levels is in the middle group. The results of the evaluation of idealism showed that Jalehie village in Zabol city (124/08) had the highest and Kang Emamdad village in Hirmand city (66/33) had the lowest level of idealism. Also Karbasak village from Zabol city (3/66) had the highest and Akondzad village of Hirmand city (1/86) had the lowest level of rural development and the overall result of the study showed that there is a significant relationship between idealism and the level of rural development in the villages of Sistan region (with sig 0/000).
