  The aim of this study is to assess the potential of Dena watershed and provide sustainable livelihood strategies. This is a practical goal that used a combined model to assess the strength of the Central Zagros region. First, ecological parameters were identified to assess the ecological potential, and then layers were prepared by georeferencing, digitization, and timing. The study used data from Landsat 7 and IRS satellite imaging images. The layers overlapped and classified in the ArcGIS software, version9.2. In the next step, SCORE technique and reference to expert opinions were used to formulate the strategies. The results showed that 20.9% of the region needs protection and 19.8% is suitable for forestry. The lowest percentage of suitable use for the region belongs to the protection of water resources and then residential development. Analysis of the internal and external environment of sustainable livelihood management in the study area shows that opportunities and strengths have a higher average score than restrictions and risks. Finally, 11 management and legal strategies for sustainable livelihoods were developed in the Dena watershed. Manuscript profile

  هدف این پژوهش توصیفی- پیمایشی، تحلیل معیشت پایدار روستایی در شهرستان لنگرود استان گیلان است. جامعه آماری شامل تمام روستاییان این شهرستان (38904=N) است که حجم نمونه با استفاده از جدول حداقل حجم نمونه کرجی و مورگان تعیین شد (180=n) و این تعداد با روش نمونه­گیری خوشه­ای متناسب انتخاب شد. ابزار این پژوهش شامل پرسشنامه­ای محقق­ساخته بود که روایی صوری و محتوایی آن توسط کارشناسان و متخصصان تأیید شد. پایایی آن نیز بر اساس آلفای کرونباخ 76/0 محاسبه شد که بیانگر پایایی ابزار اندازه­گیری است. نتایج تحقیق نشان دادکه در بین پنج سرمایه معیشت پایدار، به ترتیب سرمایه­های اجتماعی، سرمایه انسانی، سرمایه فیزیکی، سرمایه طبیعی و سرمایه مالی در رتبه­های اول تا پنجم قرار گرفتند. مردم روستا از لحاظ سرمایه اجتماعی در مقایسه با سایر سرمایه­ها از وضعیت بهتری برخوردار بودند. با توجه به سطوح سرمایه­های معیشت پایدارف توصیه می­شود که سیاست­های توسعه روستایی به­عنوان یک استراتژی اساسی، سبب تنوع معیشت شود. علاوه بر این، باید تلاش شود تا مردم روستا از آنچه در اختیار دارند آگاه شوند و نگرش خود را نسبت به آنچه در زندگی خود و در طبیعت می­بینند تغییر دهند.
