The purpose of this descriptive-correlational study is to examine the effect of technical and vocational education on the employment of villagers in Islamabad, West. The statistical population of this study was all villagers participating in agricultural technical and vocational training courses in Islamabad, West of Iran during 2011-2012 (N = 630). The sample size was determined using a sample sampling table from Krejcie and Morgan (1970), in which 242 people were selected using simple random sampling method. The tool used in this research was a questionnaire. The findings indicate that, in general, technical and vocational training has had a moderate effect on employment of rural population in Islamabad, Iran (average of 3.63 out of 5 and standard deviations = 1.4). The results also showed that there is a significant difference between the employment status of the participants in technical and vocational training courses with non-participants in terms of employment, and the participants in technical and vocational training courses have won more jobs than other people who did not attend the training courses. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that 60% of dependent variable changes (employment of rural students participating in technical and vocational training courses) are explained by four variables of work experience, income, education, and the extent to which learners have entrepreneurial characteristics (such as self-esteem, etc.).

The main aim of this descriptive- correlation research was to investigate the affecting factors on villagers’ use of renewable energies. The statistical population of the research consisted of all heads of households in the rural areas of Zabol city (N= 63736). According to the Bartlett et al., (2001) table, 300 of them were selected by multistage sampling. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a panel of experts. A pretest was conducted to establish the reliability of the questionnaire. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the main scales of the questionnaire was at an appropriate level (ranged from 0.761 to 0.793). The descriptive statistics results indicated that the villagers level of using of renewable energies including solar, wind and biomass energies were at a very low level. The results of the correlation analysis revealed that variables of literacy level, distance between village to the nearest city, rate of the participation in training courses on renewable energies, the size of land, livestock unit, the number of agricultural products and vegetables, the cost of gas and electricity for home and level of using of information acquisition sources on the renewable energies had significant and positive relationship with the villagers level of using of these energies. Also, the results of regression analysis showed that 61.6 % variances of using level of renewable energies were explained by the six variables including: using level of information acquisition sources, rate of the participation in training courses, the number of agricultural products, the size of livestock unit, the number of vegetables and the size of land, respectively.

In this paper, an approach considering strategies based on values and religious teachings has been proposed. The aim of this paper is the study of villagers’ religious attitude style towards the water and its consumption which carried out by means of a survey. To this end, 270 people from rural areas Ramsheh, the province of Isfahan (low- water area), and Izadkhast (high-water area) from Fars province were interviewed by the cluster sampling method. After determining the validity of the study, its reliability was determined by Cronbach Alpha Test whose standardized rate was 0.93. Likert scale was used to measure the attitude of villagers and non-parametric tests of SPSS software (Mann-Whitney U & Kruskal-Wallis -test) were used to analyze them.The results showed that, recognition and religious feeling of villagers about water is almost strong in both regions and their behavior towards water is proportional to the religious teachings. In terms of emotional attitudes, the rural housewives feeling about water was stronger than men. In contrast, the tendency to behave according to the religious teachings among rural men was more than women. Illiterate peasants and rural people older than 51 years had stronger feeling about water than literate and younger people. In the areas which villagers take the advantage of water surplus, there were stronger feelings towards water among the villagers. The Villagers who have fruit garden and villagers that use other types of drinking water sources such as wells, canals, rivers and rain have more appropriate behavior towards water than the villagers use the other
