Abstract :

Entrepreneurship is a new solution in development theories for empowerment and capacity building in countries to reduce the urban-rural gap, create equal economic, social, environmental and institutional opportunities and is an important tool to achieve sustainable development. Three aspects can be imagined for development planning: the government and government institutions in charge of development planning, second, the people who are the subject of planning and development goal and the programs are implemented for them, and third, the part between the government and the people, ie the organization. Private companies, local managers and entrepreneurs. The main purpose of this study is to theoretically explain the effects of entrepreneurship on sustainable development with emphasis on structuralist thought. The general method used in this research is the qualitative method, which we have tried to study and recognize the desired goals by using the techniques of the qualitative method, including theoretical notes and discovery, comparison, reasoning and inferences of the researcher. In other words, the method used in this research is "documentary method", which uses data collection techniques to collect the necessary information and analyze the information by discovering, comparing and inferring the researcher. Findings show that the most important barriers to entrepreneurship development are, in order of priority, banking and administrative barriers in granting facilities, high production costs, legal barriers in issuing the necessary licenses and lack of coordination of related agencies. These factors are, in fact, the same factors that the environmental school emphasizes for the success of entrepreneurs.
