Abstract :

To achieve the supercilious goals, after the biological needs, the human person needs to feel safety and security.so that sense of security is the the main indicator of the quality of rural life. The purpose of this paper is to consider the factors affecting this issue in rural areas. Analytical research and development is applied. The population survey is 5813 households in 74 villages in the Markazi District- Township Jahrom. The sample size was calculated 250 using the Cochran formula. Data were analyzed with SPSS software, descriptive and inferential statistical methods such as chi-square, Kendal correlation and multiple regression analysis. The results of regression analysis showed that there is relatively strong correlation coefficient (R) 0.706 between independent variables and the dependent variable. The physical environment variables, trust, satisfaction have significant impact on safety, but the impact of gender, education, experience, age and crime ares not significant. Satisfaction variables with regression coefficient 0.758/0 and confidence regression coefficient 0.283 have the greatest impact on changing sense of security and physical environment variable with a regression coefficient of 0.197 is placed in the next rank. The results indicate that the correlation between the two social security sense and confidence variables is significant. Finally, the chi-square was used to investigate the relationship between the experience of crime and sense of security. Based on average level of crime experience that is significant (=0. 05) there is no difference among   people who have had direct experience of crime with people who have not experienced of crime in the sense of security. Therefore, it can be said that the safety and sense of security are high in rural areas of the Markazi District- Township Jahrom.
