Abstract :

The rural- urban links are considered as a part of realities of everyday life in an inhabitant family in rural regions. Thus, rural- urban links are emphasized in regulation and expression of development policies by aiming at reduction of poverty and supporting from positive role of urban centers to expand surrounding rural areas. Therefore, the current research has analyzed the village- city relations to determine field of influence of Ilam city. The methodology is combinatory type and both quantitative and qualitative techniques. The data have been collected by special questionnaire for the public people in this survey so that thereby one could test hypotheses by T- statistical exams, AHP and VIKOR models. The given results indicate that among 5 research variables, variables of economic trends (Mean-value=2.1959) and migratory trends (Mean – value= 2.5518) are lower than the base and standard limits. The results of this survey show that given average limit of 3, this model enjoys strong relationship in terms of three variables in which political-administrative variable (0.398) is placed at first rank in terms of importance and parameter of migratory trends (0.095) was ranked in four rural groups and VIKOR results were placed at the last rank. Similarly, using of this model; finally indicates the rate of influence is reduced by rising distance. Finally, with respect to result of study, it can be implied Ilam city plays a polar goal through this city but the level of influence of this city is also reduced by rising distance between them.
