Abstract :

creating settlements and industrial park is one of the most common industrialization approaches in countries that have been proposed for technological change in order to improve the quality of life, especially in rural areas which ultimately bring the prosperity and development of the village and the whole country. The present study was carried out to investigate the role of Sharif industrial parks on the quality of life of rural workers in this industry at the Abhar city, central district. In this regard, the research methodology was a library-survey (questionnaire) and seven indicators of education, participation, housing status, consumption pattern status, occupational safety, social belonging and insurance and social security were evaluated. In order to determine the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha test was used in SPSS software which showed a reliability of 926, a high reliability index. The statistical population consisted of the villages in Sharif industrial parks and the sample size according to Cochran formula was 219 employees. Due to the lack of access to all samples, just 50% of the employees, who were equal to 109 rural workers, were evaluated and then for data analysis SPSS software was used. Paired-Samples t-test was run to assess the quality of these indicators in the period of before and after employment in this industrial park. The results indicate that the quality of life indicators of the workers has been promoted and desirable under the influence of the Sharif industrial parks.
