Therefore, by overlaying information layers in the mentioned system the ecological unit map of area with the table of characteristic unit , and then the evaluation of capability was done.The result of survey shows that to the point of whole ecological parameters , the total region is not appropriate for rural development but by omitting of elevation parameter that it's the last choice in the Makhdoum ecological model . 8.49% of land for rural development has a suitable (grade 2) and 91.51% of the other has not a suitable potential for rural use.For the complement of ecological evaluation ,valuating needs,socio- economic indicator and facilities was done in the area so the three nappe of Zakherd, Elyasabad and Hematabab was put to make clear the hairchy of rural development.By the result of search it's made clear that Hematabad nappe has better choice.
