Abstract

Following the inadequacy of indicators in determining growth and development, the complex HUMAN DEVELOPMENT index (HDI) was introduced for the first time in 1990 by the specialists of the UN Department of Civil development Program (UNDP), The index includes measures such as, life expectancy, literacy, and per capita income and the maximum and minimum extremes of them are used in its assessment. In this paper the rural areas of IRAN will be analysed through the application of the HDI techniques to identify the development level of rural areas in a hierachial system. The results could be used as data base for regional development planning process.Deprivation and HUMAN DEVELOPMENT indexes indicate advantages as well as disadvantages in the rural areas. They can also be used as a basis to eliminate the inequalities seen in the region. Obviously, knowledge about these inequalities among different areas in rural regions can be of great help in presenting appropriate ways to increase the success rate of programs and development plans within and without the regions.Based on the results of Deprivation Index, the most deprived rural areas of IRAN consist of, Sistan and Baluchistan (0.941), Kurdistan (0.740), Ilam (0.699), Kohgilooye and Boyer Ahmad (0.678), Zanjan (0.667), West Azarbayejan (0.631), Hormozgan (0.599).In comparison, regarding HDI values, the following provinces are found to be the first to the fifth ranks: TEHRAN (1), FARS (0.884), ISFAHAN (0.791), Yazd (0.740) and Gilan (0.736.) To sum up, HDI classification indicates that Kurdistan, Sistan and Baluchistan provinces are extreme4' deprived and 11 provinces or 43.85 percent of them, are deprived, and 8 others or 33.3%, which have strong HDI indexes, are known as DEVELOPED PROVINCEs. FARS, TEHRAN and ISFAHAN, are extremely developed, according to the HDI.So, 13 provinces or 54.14 % of the studied provinces are deprived, and extremely deprived according to HDI.
