Analysis of Rural Women's Attitude towards Rural Life and Its Progress: A Case Study of Cheshme Ziarat District-Zahedan

The development of life is a relative and variable concept that has a different status over time and in different places. The progress of villagers' lives in recent years has been overshadowed by issues such as climate change, changing the style of activity and reducing border economic activities, and changing traditional activities. The purpose of this research was to investigate the concept of life progress, dimensions, contexts and factors of life progress in the perceptions of rural women in Ziarat district of Zahedan city. The descriptive research method was analytical. The statistical population was rural women in Cheshme Ziarat village. The sample population includes ۲۲۰ rural women over the age of ۱۵ in this village. Also, in a separate phase, ۲۵ native experts of the study area were selected as a sample community to help collect data (factor analysis test) in the analysis of factors affecting the development of villages in the study area. The research results showed that the attitude of rural women of Ziarat village of Zahedan city towards the development of life was not realistic and up-to-date and they have a traditional view of their life. And the level of satisfaction with life as the most obvious indicator of progress was not optimal and this indicates that women do not see the ability and desire to act in the path of progress. Unfortunately, such a result is very undesirable and indicates that the rural women of the region see a distance between themselves and their village with the progress and improvement of life, and even find it difficult to change and improve the situation. Also, the results of the factor analysis test to measure the impact of the factors affecting rural development from the opinions of ۲۵ educated women and the pattern of the villages also showed that the variables related to the cultural-social factor, then the structural-institutional factor; and then the family factor has the greatest impact on the progress of rural women in the study area. Paying attention to the above results (both from the point of view of rural women as well as from the point of view of local opinionated women), we can conclude that factors such as divine will, favoritism and organizational relations, the power of nature, technology and management (from the point of view of women) and factors such as social-cultural, managerial-institutional and structural factors, and family factors (people with opinions) are the most important factors affecting the progress of their lives and their families.
