Abstract

Various studies that have been conducted on sustainable rural development have determined the importance of changing the cultivation pattern in the process of rural development and show its role as an important factor in reducing the poverty of rural households. The current research was developed with the aim of explaining the model of the effect of changing the cultivation pattern on the sustainable development of the district of Kot-e Abdollah Dehistan. This research is applied in terms of its purpose and descriptive-analytical in terms of its nature and method. The statistical population of this research includes all the farmers who have cultivated all or part of their land under sour tea cultivation in Kot Abdullah district, which are 152 farmers; therefore, due to the small statistical population, all of them were considered as the sample size. In order to analyze the data and test the hypotheses of the research, the structural equation technique of first and second order confirmatory factor analysis was used. The findings of the research show that the structural model of the second-order confirmatory factor analysis has appropriate fit indices, therefore economic development (0.98), socio-cultural development (0.94) and environmental development (0.84) are among the factor loadings. It explains the model that shows the effect of changing the cultivation pattern in different dimensions of sustainable development of rural areas.
