One of the important objectives of the general policies of each society is the improvement of the quality of life in that society. This paper discusses the quality of life in rural areas. The research seeks to answer this question that to what extent the rural areas of the central district of Islam Abad Gharb enjoy the indices of the quality of life. Quality of life was measured in three social, economic and physical indices, considering 13 components. Analysis of data was performed by one-sample T-test. Based on the results, calculation of the enjoyment average showed that the district of Shian with 33.47 percent and Northern District (Dehestan-e Shomali) with 28.43 percent had the highest desirable quality of life and the lowest quality of life, respectively. So to improve the quality of life in studied rural areas, planning in all social, economic and physical indices is necessary that this issue can be more effective through providing services and organizing villages, especially less developed ones.Keywords: Islam Abad Gharb county, Village, Social, economic and physical indices, quality of life
