In other word, having a developed society involves application of a systematic and powerful management system. Management is a practice of utilizing all available resources to obtain the defined goals. Rural development management can be defined as the activity and process of managing the development process in the rural areas. Most of the problems in context of development in Iran are resulted from the rural areas, actually. Having more than 65000 villages and concentrating of more than 85 percent of natural resources in the areas made rural as the key element for taking step toward development.

Introduction: Stability and survival of rural communities for the residents without productive and profitable engagement is impossible. In this context the emergence of rural entrepreneurship is inevitable. Today, one of the most important strategies for rural development is attention to the entrepreneurial spirit among the villagers and farmers. Thus entrepreneurship can improve quality of life, make better distribution of income and optimize utilization of resources by creating employments. This plays an important role in the economic development or rural area and reduces unwanted immigration and causes rural development and rural empowerment. Main problem to achieve this goal is preparing the context in the rural society. The Shawl District is a part of rural community in Buin Zahra town ship. Instability is due to ecological conditions including drought and recent consequences such as lack of water, low water levels in wells as important source of poor soil (soil is saline and alkaline). These do not allow increase cultivation and use modern agricultural machinery due to fragmentation of agricultural land and low level of productivity.

Introduction: Is it possible to explore for qualitative concept of "goodness" about rural settlements. to find acceptable norms and indicators? In order to answer this question, this research sought to identify the characteristics of "good village" based on rural student's perceptions. This is after understanding the common aspects of a good village and adjustment of semantic differences between rural students and experts or rural planning and development. Experts of planning and development of rural settlements such as geographers, sociologists, economists, architects and designers in their professional knowledge and practices apply concepts that might be different in comparison with popular concepts among the public, According to principle of semantic differences, we are making efforts to purify rural student perceptions about characteristics of "good village".

Introduction: Today, environmental crises that human beings are faced with such as global warming, destruction of natural habitats, decrease of natural resources, increase of different sorts of pollution. growth of population and some other cases which influence human life are not deniable. Although human has tried to reduce these crises. it takes a long time to eradicate them. So, we have to become familiar with these threats and try to eradicate or at least reduce consequences and reduce their destructivity. Since these problems are just made by humans, the most effective solution for removing them is teaching in national levels and enhancing public culture and awareness. In other words, we need 10 make environmental awareness a part of society knowledge.

Introduction: The fire services playa key role in safety issues for any country. The operations or the services have a high visibility since the public is aware of its own vulnerability and possibly vital reliance on the service. Firemen and women are rightly admired. particularly as their intervention may carry a risk to their own lives. More generally, this service comes at a considerable cost. The fire and as a result natural and man- made disasters area integral part of the settlements. Safety and fire services in rural areas due to its proximity to rural farm lands. forest and grasslands with high fire potential is very important. Location or fire stations is an important factor in their ability to protect against fire. In the recent) ears. fire safety and service development is considered by the governor's agenda.

Introduction: Social trust is an important Issue In development matter. It is a new mater and concept in development in general and rural development in particular. Dimensions of social trust are the most important purpose for bi-Iateral and multi-lateral behaviors. People trust to each other to make relation and through this way they learnt that without participation and cooperation they cannot do their affairs. Absence of trust and participation in modern life can be resulted in decrees of political participation and low trust to take part in political institution, rise of alienation, and prefer private goods to common goods and dissatisfaction of common life. Social trust is an important part of social capital. By social capital, social trust, participation, social ties and etc. are constructed. Development is a process which needs participation, social trust and social capital. We can reach and get development by this factor. We can reach and get development by this factor in rural areas. If rural areas are developed then we can expect urban area to be developed. Gut if rural area doesn't have good development process we shouldn't expect have <I good urban development. Today rural development has an important effect on national development. If in a certain country rural areas are developed.

Introduction: Several strategies have been raised and studied for rural development including the development and fortification of small towns. Researchers believe that small cities as a chain ring between cities and villages, provided their development and fortification, can lead to development in their surrounding rural areas in various aspects. So, the strength and growth of small Towns couldn't be overlooked in the process of rural development planning because these centers provide amenities and services to rural areas and have an effective role in the rural areas' development. Quality of Life development is one of the roles that small towns can play in their surrounding rural areas. So, in this paper we try to answer two questions by studying the role of Roniz City as a city of Fars Province (Estahban County): A) has Roniz as a small towns played any effective role to improve the life quality of surrounding villages? And 8) what are the differences among villages. based on the role and function of Roniz City in improving life quality?

Introduction: Rapid urbanization and reduction of rural population are common problems among developing countries. Unemployment and rural migration are mentioned as main reasons for these problems. According to the 20 II census in Iran, the rural population decreased to less than one-third, or about 29 percent of total population. Demographic change of the country and the need for jobs will exacerbate these problems. The experience of' many countries shows that entrepreneurship can be vital to the development of rural areas and solving many economic problems (Deljoo-shahir, 2009, 25). Entrepreneurial activity is interpreted as the engine of economic growth (Sherief, 2008). Existing opportunities in Iran's rural regions have significant economic advantages (Hashemi et al, 1390). China has faced with many problems in rural planning. As a result of past policies. about 700 million people in rural areas were at risk of recession. Now. the Chinese government's strategies focus on strengthening of rural entrepreneurship and create jobs for the villagers (Yang. 2009, 5).
