Abstract
One of the crucial factors determining the socioeconomic growth and development of a society, especially the rural communities, is the active role of people in village-related activities so that development would not be possible without people’s participation. So, most countries are planning pubic policies, strategies and plans with an emphasis on non-governmental organizations. In this sense, the present study explores the role of people’s participation in satisfying the social, technical, and institutional needs of the local communities in the village of Hesar Kouchak in Varamin, Iran. It was a case study with qualitative approach. The data collection tools included interviews, observation of people’s activities, behaviors and actions, and the review of documents, and the statistical population was composed of the rural women and men who were sampled purposively. The results revealed that credits were the main requirement of agriculture sector, such institutions as consumers’ cooperative had the highest importance among institutional needs from women’s perspective, and Agribank and Jahad-e Agriculture Service Center were the top priorities of village-related organizations implying the connection of the village with execution and bank sectors. People’s main problems in animal husbandry were the lack of loans and facilities and the lack of access to water supply system. It was revealed that villagers rely on the elderly as the information source, reflecting the unavailability of modern information technologies in the third millennium.
