چکیده
هدف اصلی پژوهش، بررسی مؤلفه‌های بهبود رفاه خانوارهای روستایی عضو و غیر عضو شرکت­ های تعاونی تولید روستایی در شهرستان میاندوآب است. برای دستیابی به هدف از روش توصیفی- همبستگی استفاده شد. جامعه آماری را 17493 خانوار روستایی عضو و غیر عضو شرکت­ های تعاونی تولید روستایی تشکیل دادند و 377 خانوار به­ عنوان نمونه آماری انتخاب شدند. ابزار تحقیق پرسش­نامه­‌ای بود که روایی آن بر اساس نظرات گروهی از متخصصان ترویج و آموزش کشاورزی دانشگاه تربیت مدرس تأیید شد و برای تعیین میزان پایایی پرسش­نامه از ضریب آلفای کرونباخ استفاده شد. پرسش­نامه با توجه به ضرایب به دست آمده از قابلیت اعتماد بالایی برخوردار بود. به­ منظور شناسایی مؤلفه‌های بهبود رفاه خانوارهای روستایی و بررسی شاخص خوبی برازش مدل تحقیق از تحلیل عاملی تأییدی و مدل­ سازی معادلات ساختاری استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد که وضعیت استقرارپذیری مؤلفه‌های رفاه بین خانوارهای روستایی عضو و غیر عضو تفاوت معنی‌داری دارد. به ­طوری­ که در مؤلفه‌های ایمنی و امنیت، آزادی فردی، حکمرانی، سرمایه اجتماعی، محیط سرمایه‌گذاری، شرایط کارآفرینی، دسترسی به بازار و زیرساخت، کیفیت اقتصادی، شرایط زندگی، بهداشت و سلامت و آموزش بین خانوارهای عضو و غیر عضو تفاوت معنی‌داری وجود داشت و تنها در مؤلفه محیط زیست طبیعی تفاوت معنی‌داری دیده نشد. بنابراین شرکت‌های تعاونی تولید روستایی نقش مؤثری در بهبود رفاه خانوارهای روستایی در شهرستان میاندوآب داشتند و میانگین آن 3/56 محاسبه شد که نشان از تأثیر مثبت تعاونی ­ها در بهبود کلی رفاه خانوارهای روستایی دارد. از همین رو پیشنهاد می‌شود آموزش­ های کارآفرینی به­ منظور افزایش تولیدات کشاورزی، تنوع در اقتصاد روستایی و بسترسازی لازم برای افزایش ثروت ارائه شود.

Introduction
Rural production cooperatives play an important role in reducing rural poverty by increasing production efficiency and providing services that governments are unable to provide for poor people. This research aimed to investigate the 12 components of the Legatum Index improving the welfare of rural households that are members and non-members of rural production cooperatives in Miandoab Township.
Materials and Methods
The present research was conducted using a survey and descriptive-correlational methodology. The size of the target population includes 17493 rural households, members and non-members of rural production cooperatives, and 377 households were randomly selected. Questionnaire was the main tool for data collecting. Validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a panel of agricultural extension and education specialists at Tarbiat Modares University and its reliability was confirmed by calculating Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. To investigate the components of improving the welfare of rural households and checking the goodness of fit index, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were used. Data were collected through structured interviews and analyzed using SPSS and LISREL software.
Results and Discussion
The results showed that there is a significant difference between member and non-member rural households in terms of welfare component status. So in the components of safety and security; individual freedom; governance; social capital; investment environment; entrepreneurial conditions; market access and infrastructure; economic quality; living conditions; sanitation and health; and education; there was a significant difference between member and non-member households, and only in the natural environment component, no significant difference was seen.
Conclusions
Rural production cooperatives played an effective role in improving the welfare of rural households in Miandoab City, and its average was calculated as 3.56; which shows the positive effect of cooperatives in improving the overall welfare of rural households. In this regard, it is suggested to provide entrepreneurship training to increase agricultural production, diversify the rural economy, and create the necessary foundation for increasing wealth.
