Abstract

From the past to now, the rural management issue always has been one of the most controversial topics in the academic and executive sector of the country. This led to the use of different management patterns by planners and authorities at different times. In recent years, the rural think tankbecame a new model for the comprehensive development of rural areas. It seems that this model tries to promote a comprehensive management quality in the field of socio-economic development of rural areas in all over the country. Studies showed that there was no research on the achievements of this new experience in rural areas of the country. Therefore, in this qualitative research, we tried to investigate the achievements of the rural think tankby using a case study in the village of Zardouee, Baiangan, Paveh city of Kermanshah province. For this purpose, information collected using semi-structured dialogue techniques, dialogue with key response, dialogue with focus groups, personal observations, drawing up the historical chart of the production system by the members, and reviewing the village biography. Then the extracted data were categorized using the contractual content analysis method. To determine the accuracy of the data four indexes was used including; acceptability, reliability and transferability. Based on the findings, the rural think tankin Zardouee has such accomplishments such as: participation, solving basic problems (problem-oriented), facilitating administrative affairs, training, elitism, employment, capacity building, reverse migration, marketing and market oriented and so on. According to the achivements of the rural Think tank, it is recommended to managers and rural development planners of the provinces; use this management model as a suitable model for realizing government goals and plans in rural areas.
