The attempt to find a proper approach for rural development led me to carry out a preliminary research which is based on a broad field study data. The present study is an attempt to investigate the prospects of the rural communities. An outstanding feature of this survey is thaT for the first time it deeply engages with the issue of the nxral economic development. This research also concentrates on the diverse texture of the villages surrounding the city of Mashhad as well as the increasing level of contact and communication among them. The upshot is a series of suggestions to solve some problems and optimization focussing on the peculiarities and the economic fabric of each village. This survey first addresses the two notions of typology and development. Then it engages with the research goals, type of research, modality, sampling, data analysis, and some practical solutions.
