The solution to the challenges of rural settlements such as poverty, food insecurity, unemployment, migration, lack of welfare, etc. lies in adopting new policies and strategies that are appropriate to the geographical conditions prevailing in rural settlements

Due to their functional nature, rural communities are closely related to their surrounding environment, many of which lead to the development of entrepreneurship and the strengthening of the rural economy, while others limit the development of entrepreneurship and delay economic progress. The aim of the present study is to identify the factors that inhibit and promote the development of entrepreneurship in the villages of the central part of Ardabil County. This study is descriptive-analytical in terms of its applied purpose and research method. The technique required to obtain the required data is library and field (questionnaire), and the research population is the villages of the central part of Ardabil County.
