Abstract The function and historical role of the rural community is more extensive than agricultural culture and the supplying surplus production and manpower to urban, industrial, artistic and commercial sectors.  In the field of agriculture, the processes of Intensification cultivation and discoveries and inventions associated with them have an effect on the valuable nature of the rural community.  This research was carried out using documentary and survey sources. Of the nearly 3,000 books and scientific and research reports, three hundred sources have been reviewed and categorized with the help of M.A students of rural development. The author used survey data and sample statistics for analysis of rural and agricultural indicators. The results indicate that during the first decade after the victory of the Islamic Revolution and due to participatory development, the living standards of many villages increased, child mortality rates went down, and the level of welfare and awareness of the villagers rose, but the sectorization of rural development, has led many development indicators to decline over the past two decades. However, rural communities, have 38.5% of agricultural land, produce more than fifty percent of food products and seventy percent of agricultural products.  Since rural development and agricultural growth are two side of a coin, the simultaneous development of rural and agricultural communities and the reduction of urban marginalization following the realization of the strategic principles of modern protectionism will be a success. Decrease of income and welfare levels among rural communities, which is decrease from 60% in 2012 to 56% in recent years, has led to increase of parasitic situation and deepening of inequalities between rural and urban communities, both led to rise of malnutrition, disease and rapid marginalization. The best way to moderate the marginalization of the text is to return to local communities and create a rural development ministry.
