This article examines secular changes in post-revolutionary rural Iran by focusing on rural social attitudes, social stratification, demography, morphology, and architecture. Offering a review of major rural reforms, it contends that although in the first two decades after the revolution, rural communities were primarily affected by state policies, they have been chiefly influenced by macro developments since then, nationally or globally. Rural change has been associated with the integration of the rural structure into the modern structure rather than adhering to the state-specific rural reforms and/or its ideological imperatives. The article concludes that such developments have resulted in greater access to modern amenities and paved the way for rural communities to adopt modern changes that were not necessarily on the government’s ideological agenda. Hence, the revolutionary objectives of an equal distribution of rural development benefits and combating rural poverty remain elusive.

伊朗的农村发展：政策和结果概览

本文通过关注农村的社会态度，社会分层，人口统计学，形态学和建筑学，考察了革命后伊朗农村的长期变化。它回顾了农村的重大改革，认为尽管在革命后的前二十年中，农村社区主要受到国家政策的影响，但自那时以来，农村社区主要受到了国家或全球宏观发展的影响。农村变革与农村结构融入现代结构有关，而不是坚持国家特定的农村改革和/或其意识形态要求。文章的结论是，这样的发展使人们有更多的机会使用现代便利设施，并为农村社区采用不一定在政府意识形态议程上的现代变化铺平了道路。因此，平等分配农村发展利益和消除农村贫困的革命目标仍然遥不可及。
