The statistical population of the study includes all experts, professors, and university researchers related to the research topic in Chabahar; the sample size was selected based on a targeted sampling of 30 people. In order to analyze the data, SPSS software (t-test, regression, and Friedman tests) was used.
Results: The results of a sample T-Tech test to check the status of variables (environmental health, environmental resources and services, and energy) showed that all indicators are in a relatively favorable condition. Also, the results of the regression test to investigate the impact of environmental variables on rural sustainability showed that all environmental-biological variables (predictor variable) have a significant effect on achieving sustainable development (criterion variable). Finally, in order to prioritize environmental variables in terms of impact on sustainable rural development, Friedman's ranking test was used, and the results showed that the environmental health index with an average of (3.45) is in the first place.
Conclusion: The overall results showed that environmental indicators significantly impact sustainable rural development; therefore, the ground must be provided for the sustainable development of villages in presenting a rural development model that is compatible with the environment.
