Abstract

Improving and reforming of infrastructures is a stability strategy that can be achieved by improving the quality of life, supplying goods and services, and providing welfare facilities and plays an important role in increasing the standard of living, rural development and growth. Therefore, in the present study, the infrastructure index was calculated using criteria such as transportation, energy, information technology and services with hierarchical and topsis combination model. The Human Development Index was considered as a proxy of rural development. Also, with the panel data model, the impact of infrastructure of villages in 28 provinces of the country on rural development was investigated in the period of 1394-1379. The random effects model results of panel data indicate a positive relationship between rural development with infrastructure and construction investment variables. Because of weakness, the agricultural sector has failed to move along with rural development, therefore, the growth of agricultural sector with rural development is not significant. Hierarchical method results showed that among 19 sub-criteria of infrastructure, rural roads have a higher priority in rural development. Therefore, planning is recommended with regard to fixed construction budget. So that economic, social and political conditions do not affect planning implementation. In this case, the upgrading of infrastructure will have a greater impact on rural development in the country.
