Abstract
Social participation is needed for rural livability, so measuring it is important. To make a settlement livable, all dimensions must be improved. Villagers' social participation is crucial to enhance the livability level in rural settlements. A questionnaire was used to survey 400 households in 30 villages for the research. The results of the research revealed, based on the standardized coefficients among the indicators of social participation of the villagers, the index of participation in educational and public activities with an influence coefficient of 0.24 and the index of participation in political and electoral activities with a coefficient of 0.223 and the index of participation in Basij and charity activities have the greatest impact on the livability level of the rural environment in the central part of Jiroft with a coefficient of 0.201. The rural environment's livability was affected by 0.65 because of social participation, as per the research. Rural livability improved as social participation increased because of strong variable correlation. Villagers don't use their full potential for rural livability. Clear trainings and awareness can create the ground for their participation in rural activities and programs.
