Most of theorists and researchers believe that villages have always enjoyed a special status in national development programs. In fact, they are an integral part of development programs in different countries. In this regard, rural improvement plans aimed at strengthening the social, economic and physical foundations of the villages of Iran at rural districts and villages level at penetration zone centered by rural district do classification of social and infrastructure services at rural district level. Finally, by preparing reconstruction plansof the central village, a model for the physical development of the villages at penetration zone with different instructions would be provide. Now, after more than two decades since the beginning of implementation of rural improvement and guiding plans in rural areas of the country and spending huge costs in the various stages of its preparation and implementation, we are witness many works in different fields, such as the transformation in village context, changes in the pattern of housing construction, inconsistency in the village passageways network, facilitating the commuting of the villagers, and so on. The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of the implementation of reconstruction plans in Workaneh village from the villagers' point of view. The research was descriptive analytical method which is for collecting data, field study and documentary methods were utilized. Accordingly, based on the population size (219 households), the sample size of studied households was 214 households through all calculation. To analyze the reliability of the research tool, the questionnaires were given to 30 heads of households, the results were examined and Cronbach alpha was calculated. The obtained result was 0.94% which was rather an acceptable figure. The findings indicated that rural improvement plans had a positive and significant relationship at level 99% in five indexes applied in this study including housing, health, land use, passageways network, economic and social indexes. However, there was no significant effect between the economic status of households and the effect of the mentioned indexes. Also, the results of the Chi-square test showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between the type of main occupation and the resulting variables from rural improvement plans, i.e., housing, health, land use, passageways network, economic and social indexes at level more than 99%.
