In recent years, with the aim of achieving favorable living conditions and creating equality, justice, reducing poverty and inequality, rural settlements have been exposed to large construction plans and projects with high investment volumes to provide the basis for stabilizing the population in villages. This article examines and evaluates the effects of construction measures carried out in stabilizing the rural population of Ek district. In this regard, the basic question of the research is what is the relationship between the construction measures carried out and the stabilization of the rural population in the study area. The research method is descriptive-analytical in nature and applied in nature. The method of collecting information is library and field methods. The statistical population includes 9 villages of Ek district. Data analysis was done quantitatively using field survey data and census data (1355-1395). Descriptive statistics including mean, median and standard deviation were used for data analysis. Then, using the entropy model, population balance and settlement distribution were measured, and structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesis. The findings of the entropy model show that in measuring the dispersion and the change in the size of the settlements, the entropy level has decreased from 139.6 in 2015 to 119.7 in 2015. Also, the amount of entropy of distribution and spatial distribution of rural population has increased from 159.9 in 1355 to 148.2 in 1395. The lower the amount of entropy indicates a balanced distribution, therefore, based on the results of the model, the distribution of the settlement system and population at the village level has become more balanced. Also, the results of structural equation modeling show that the effects of construction measures carried out in different dimensions have a significant relationship with the reduction of migration, and the highest correlation coefficient between the two social and economic dimensions is 1.06%.

The outbreak of an epidemic disease such as Covid-19 and the adoption of strict policies such as general quarantine, travel restrictions and social distancing led to a significant decrease in international and even interprovincial travel, and rural areas due to their attractiveness Natural and cultural tourism as cheap tourist destinations for spending leisure time and recreation have attracted the attention of domestic tourists. Therefore, the present research has investigated the role of rural transportation in the development of rural tourism in terms of economic indicators. The geographical area of the research is the touristic villages of Hesar Valiasr County (Avaj Township, Qazvin province) in the time horizon of the summer of 1400. The current research is of the type of applied research and the descriptive-analytical method used is based on the questionnaire tool. The statistical population of the research was 8 touristic villages of Hesar Valiasr County in Avaj Township, which according to the population and housing census data (2015) has 358 permanent resident households, using the Cochran formula (p and q equal to 0.5), the number of 190 cases was selected as a sample. To analyze the questionnaire data, one-sample t-tests, Pearson's correlation and linear multivariate regression were used. The results showed that in the economic dimension, the indicators of the increase in the construction of second homes for tourism (3.99) and the increase in investment and capital formation (3.69) received the most positive impact from the development of rural transportation. Also, the results of multivariable linear regression showed that rural transportation has a significant and positive effect on the development of tourism in economic dimensions with a determination coefficient of 0.846. So that, according to the beta values of one unit of change in the standard deviation of independent variable indicators such as "increase in the construction of second homes for tourism", "diversity of employment and income opportunities", "improvement of access to services", "Improvement of tourism infrastructure in the village" and "Increase of investment and capital formation in the village" as a result of the development of rural transportation, are respectively 0.401, 0.291, 0.333, 0.360 and 0.008 units in the development of rural tourism. The opinion of the respondents has a positive effect.
