Abstract
A concentrated, top-to-bottom view on rural programming and the lack of sufficient attention paid to rural development in previous decades has resulted in a hierarchical gap between rural and urban relationships, and consequently, the lack of development in the country's villages, making them several problems, namely a decrease in the participation of rural people in defining their own way to the future, lack of self-confidence among them, the lack of an appropriate management system, unemployment, Immigration, etc. On the other hand, the root of the problems mentioned can be found in economic problems. Hence, this article aimed to answer this question: Is there a significant relationship between the lack of development in rural areas and economic capital?
