Various models of empowerment of deprived and poor communities have been provided, but their adaptation to different geographical and temporal conditions and contexts with different social, cultural and economic conditions limits their use. At a glance, the empowerment model has been developed by psychologists and health, management and human resources professionals as well as sociologists and social scientists. Therefore, this study aimed at achieving a model for empowering disadvantaged communities in Makran region of Iran with emphasis on the community-based empowerment approach in the rural areas. For this purpose, according to the concerned society, the qualitative method was used predominantly; at the same time, quantitative methods were used to measure the level of development and to obtain experimental samples. The main tool for data collection was a focus group at different levels with participatory observation. The research findings showed that empowerment should be implemented both "bottom-up" and "top-down"; in particular, empowerment in this community was an intertwined set of empowerments of individuals, institutions and government administrators as well as managers and organizational experts. Therefore, the empowerment model should be designed based on these three groups and with emphasis on general and skill training.
