Abstract :
In spite of the desire to being commercialized and increasing mechanization and also, compared to the other parts of the economy (industry, services), Iranian agriculture part suffers from the traditional production method. Being small and dispersion of the parts, the plurality of plots, lack of inter farms' roads, the absence of appropriate irrigation and drainage channels, etc., has led to increasing in production costs and, consequently, turning away the youth sector for activity and investment in agriculture part. The work hardness of manpower and the misuse of resources are of the characteristics of traditional paddy fields, and the transformation and fundamental change of this arena depends on the implementation of a plan called "Equipping and Renovating the Paddy Fields". The methodology of this study was descriptive-analytical method and the field study was used as observation, interview and questionnaire completion for analysis of the physical effects, the mechanization effects and the release of manpower and giving diversity to activities were used in equipping and renovating the paddy fields in the central part villages of Some-eh Sara. Using Morgan's Table, 376 questionnaires were completed and gathered among farmers. The questionnaires were analyzed after encoding and entering into the SPSS Software in which, the most important results are as followed: The implementation of equipping and renovating plan of the paddy fields in planted lands villages causes physical changes in the number of land parts, the number of plots, reducing levels of irrigation and drainage channels and the reduction of the boundaries per hectare and increasing farmers' access to inter farms' roads. As a result of physical changes in planted lands, an appropriate setting for mechanization of cultivation has been provided. So far, farmers use more agricultural machinery in planted lands rather than the ones in non-planted lands.
