The present research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature. Its methodological orientation is quantitative. The statistical population of this study comprises 13 villages with rural master plans in Shiyan District of Eslamabad-e-Gharb County, encompassing 1,710 households. Using Cochran’s formula, the sample size was estimated at 314 individuals. Data collection was conducted through both library and field methods. For the final assessment, five dimensions consisting of 76 indicators were derived from the library studies. Researcher-designed questionnaires were employed to obtain the required data. The distribution of samples across the studied villages was proportionate to the number of households in each village. Data analysis was performed using SmartPLS 3 software. The findings indicate that the highest factor loading corresponds to the indicator of improving the quality of rural road networks (0.736), while the lowest loading pertains to the necessity of utilizing renewable energy (0.403). The maximum t-value in the structural model, at 23.211, relates to the relationship between the rural master plan and its economic effects on villagers’ lives. The results obtained for the four dimensions show that the structural model of the study demonstrates an acceptable level of fit and adequately predicts the exogenous constructs. Ultimately, it can be concluded that the implementation of the rural master plan has had the greatest impact on the economic dimension of villagers’ lives. Furthermore, through a multidimensional approach, it has not only transformed the physical landscape of the villages but also contributed to the regeneration of their environmental, socio-cultural, and economic structures.
