Abstract :

Evaluate and explain the situation of rural development in different regions, Could be an important step in authorities’ awareness and pay much attention to disadvantaged areas. Accordingly, the necessity of deprivation activities in some rural settlements and lack of a comprehensive survey about rural development in the city of Boroujerd, Lead to current study. By examining available information and systematic and effective key indicators in the state of rural development and development of new methods and integrated Fuzzy Multi Attribute Decision Making, this study represent detailed explanation about distribution of rural services and facilities in the studied city. The development areas located in the territory of research seems to portray accurately. The purpose of this study is spatial analysis of rural development in the villages of the city of Boroujerd, which provides guidelines to establish a balanced development between studied regions. The study is an applied research and in terms of methodology. It is categorized as descriptive. It should be mentioned that the total study population was habitat villages located in the city of Borujerd, is equal to 192 villages. Their level of development evaluated by standardized tools in the form of official statistics forms and tables Lorestan province. So, 47 factors of development indicators derived from official statistics and weighted by using the Shannon entropy. Principal components analysis were examined by using Vikor Fuzzy techniques, Topsis Fuzzy, hierarchical clustering analysis and dispersion coefficient. General analysis of development indicators showed that, according to calculations VIKOR fuzzy techniques, Goudarzi Rural village with a factor of 0.07 is the most developed model and Hematabad village with 0.86 is the most deprived city areas in terms of rural development. The results of calculations showed that the fuzzy TOPSIS technique`s most coefficient expansion of 0.48 belongs to the Goudarzi village, and the lowest coefficient expansion of 0.28 belongs to the Darehseydi village. The results also showed that the ranking of rural areas studied, in terms of rural development, were Goudarzi, Shirvan, Bardehsar, Valanjerd, Oshtorinan, Hemmat Abad Darehseydi at first to seventh rank, respectively.
