Abstract
The rural guide plan, as a comprehensive development plan and the most important tool for managing rural development in Iran during the last four decades, emphasizes the preparation and implementation of projects that are all aimed at rural development, with the approach of limiting physical changes in the development of villages. The present study deals with the damage of the rural conductor plan by dividing it into four preliminary stages, preparation, approval, and implementation. The research method is applied in terms of objective and descriptive. In this study, 30 questionnaires were completed in the preliminary stage with the help of rural guide plan consultants, 48 ​​questionnaires were completed in the preparation and approval stage with the help of rural consultants and experts, and 159 questionnaires were completed in the implementation stage with the help of rural people and experts, and a total of 285 questionnaires were completed. Became To identify the damages of the implementation phase of the rural guide plan in 6 villages in Mashhad County, which have been implemented for at least 10 years; It was chosen randomly. In the pathology of the preparatory stage of the rural guide plan, 18 identified injuries were placed under the two injuries of "theoretical approaches" with an average of 3.83 and "methodology" with an average of 3.8. Also, the exploratory factor analysis of 27 injuries identified in the plan preparation stage was reduced to 9 injuries with a 71.2% variance. The most important harm of this stage is "not paying attention to the real needs of the villagers" with a 19.63% variance. At the plan approval stage, 26 identified damages were placed under 9 factors with a 68.36% variance. The most important harm of this stage is "the diminutive role of village councilor and village council in the approval meeting" with a 15.9% variance. In the implementation phase, 23 injuries were placed under 8 factors with a 63.4% variance. The most important damages in the implementation phase of the rural guide plan are "unprincipled, incomplete, and half-completed project abandonment" with a 17.5% variance. Solving the identified challenges gives higher-level managers the possibility to formulate and plan an effective and beneficial plan by identifying the weak points and fixing them.
