Abstract

Planning and management for rural sustainable development is one of the fundamental tools for access to spatial justice. Spatial equality in rural development led to efficient use of resources, social welfare and economic growth. Accordingly, analyzing spatial changes of sustainability level and rank in rural area required for decision making and rural planning and can reduce unsustainability as well as provide efficient policy and strategy for promotion of quality of life. In this regard, the main goal of this paper is investigating how we can link different indicators of sustainable rural development and introducing an appropriate ranking model for sustainability in the rural territory of Sarband district in the Shazand County, Markazi province. Research method is descriptive and analytical and we used questionnaires, expert’s opinion, DEMATEL and ANP model to calculate the weight of indices and models for integrating ELECTERE 3. The results shows that, Kosar, Lvzdrlya and Qayydan villages have the highest levels in terms of sustainability and Vazmstan Olya village has the lowest level of sustainability.
