Considering the innovative and dynamic nature of entrepreneurship in rural areas and the importance of ecological conservation approaches in villages, one of the concerns of policymakers and planners is to identify the most important value-creating factors and indicators so that according to these factors, the level of activities promoted entrepreneurship and achieved its goals including job creation, economic growth and poverty reduction. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to design an integrated model of entrepreneurship development in rural areas with a sustainable development approach. In this research, using the qualitative content analysis method, researches and researches conducted in the field of entrepreneurship development in rural areas have been examined and a composite model has been presented for it. The population and statistical sample, studies and researches have been related to the subject of the research. For this purpose, firstly, related sources were carefully collected and examined, the components and variables of interest in each of the researches were examined and extracted. Then, based on the similarity and closeness between the concepts, the main axes were identified and thematic classification was made. The findings of this research led to the identification of 6 main factors in the two dimensions of rural entrepreneurship development factors and entrepreneurial environment factors. The development factors of rural entrepreneurship included fourteen value-creating variables in three components of creating and strengthening entrepreneurial attitudes, emergence of entrepreneurial behaviors and entrepreneurial development results. In the dimension of entrepreneurial environment factors, nineteen variables were identified in three levels of resource-oriented economic development, efficiency-oriented economy and innovation-oriented economy. Finally, the validity and reliability of the model was measured using the Kappa index, which was calculated as 0.857 and placed at the level of excellent agreement. At the end of the article, suggestions were made to promote rural entrepreneurship.
