Development of rural areas is a central pillar of government policy. Thus, government has used various means and several implemented actions to achieve rural development. One of the most important used means is investment for rural areas development. Investment implications of development can be seen in a social system such as empowerment and capacity-building. This documentary study is done to investigate the effect of government investment in capacity building in rural areas. The statistical population is 14431 people living in 11 villages of Aran and Bidgol region as research areas. The sample size of 312 was determined by using Cochran. In this Survey, questionnaire for data collection; SPSS software for data processing; and Kendall b as descriptive and inferential statistical method in accordance to variable level of measuring, were used. The results show the relationship between investment and building capacity: the capacity of rural infrastructure (sig=0.058), change and improve the management of the rural (sig=0.054), acceptance of the construction activities (sig=0.049) and (sig=0.041), and the control and the intervention of state organizations (sig=0.048) in the rural area. Thus, the efficiency of government investment in the development of building capacity is poor because rural development still has in hold of peasant communities.
