Abstract :
Today, discussions and concerns about land use changes in rural society have been seriously considered. The main purpose of this research is to identify the influencing factors on land use changes in the villages of Astane Ashrafieh County. In the first part of the research, Landsat satellite images were used to investigate land use changes. In the second part, factors affecting land use changes were analyzed using statistical analysis. Based on this, 28 villages of the County were studied as a case study. The research method was descriptive-analytical.Questionnaire technique was used to collect data and statistical methods were used to analyze data. The results showed that among the independent economic indicators, the benefits of investing in the land and housing sector had the strongest correlation and relationship with land use changes. Among the independent social indicators, the indicators of the role of the owners of the second house in the village and the increase in the number of residential tourists and the need for land for construction had the strongest correlation and connection with land use changes. Among independent physical indicators, tourism in the study area had the highest correlation and relationship with land use changes. Correlation analysis between independent institutional-management indicators and land use changes showed that indicators of the weakness of executive bodies in informing agricultural land owners about the type of land use and the prohibition of land use changes had the highest correlation and a very strong relationship with land use changes in the village.
