Nowadays, rural areas of developing countries are faced to numerous challenges such as spreading poverty and promote destruction of natural resources. Therefore, many experts of rural development believe that rural industrialization strategy is one of the most important strategies for fighting poverty and preventing the destruction of natural resources. In fact, rural industrialization can be the cornerstone of development in rural areas of developing countries. Currently, Marvdasht county is as one of the poles of the rural population in Fars province. The lack of appropriate programs in the rural development of this area has been caused rural areas to be faced many problems and theses issues and problems have been provided the base for migration from rural areas. Since, the establishment of rural industry in this area can solve many existing problems. AHP and central index models were used to locate and prioritize the establishment of industries throughout the rural areas of the city. This study is descriptive-analytic based on its nature and purpose. Based on the results of the study, thirteen villages: Mohammadabad, Sivand, Bidgol, Fath Abad Sofla, Zangi Abad, Kushk, Kuhsabz, Ahmdabadkateh, Hesardashtak, Khanmin, Mohajen Abad, Shollbazi, and Majdabadi were selected as the intended sites and from among them Fath Abad Sofla with final score of 0.2402 was selected as the most suitable site for the establishment of rural industries.
