The statistical population of the study is 40 villages in Ardebil with a population of 37339 people in year 2018. The sample size was estimated at 380 people based on the Cochran formula and in proportion to the population of each district randomly distributed systematically between them. To analyze the topic, four indicators were used in the form of 44 items. For data analysis, single sample t-test and COPRAS technique were used.
Findings: The results of the research based on the COPRAS technique indicate this of the villages in the study area are not balanced in terms of the distribution of quality of life indicators, so that four villages are in very good, five villages are in good situation, 26 villages on average, and five villages in the area were poor. The one-sample t test results showed that villagers are satisfied only in the social dimension of their lives and they are not content with economic, environmental and physical indicators.
