Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to examine the consistence of rural development laws and regulations in five years development plans. Content analysis was applied in this study. Descriptive analysis of rural development plans showed that these phrase frequencies were 6, 13, 8, 15, and 8 in the first to the fifth development plans respectively. The frequencies of referring to social dimension of rural development were 6,7,10, 12 and 9 in these five years development plans, respectively. The frequencies of attention to environmental dimension of rural development were 2,1,5,3 and 1 respectively. Furthermore, these frequencies for economic dimensions were 9,19,14,14 and 10 in these plans, respectively. Laws and regulations related to rural development had an ascending trend from first to fifth plans but declined in the fifth one which is may be because of shift in government approaches. Furthermore, it should be noted that the extent of attention to environmental dimension of rural development was less than social and economic dimensions.
