Public participation is very important for rural development. Social networks can influence and enhance the participation of villagers. The main question of the present research is whether rural networks influence the participatory management of rural communities. The research was a quasi-experimental one in which pre-test/post-test and experimental/control group were used. The population included all rural household heads in Baladarband rural district, Kurdistan who were member of active social networks of Iran. The sample included 40 people who were selected via purposive sampling and put in two groups, i.e. experimental and control ones (20 in each group). The results indicated that rural networks have influenced participatory management in rural communities. Social media, such as Telegram, are effective tools which significantly influence social interactions. Social participation is the result of interactions as well as collective and social norms, and it has opened a new window to analyzing and finding the cause of cultural and social issues in villages. Rural networks have a positive and significant influence on participatory management in rural communities. The impact factor (0.210) shows that there is a significant difference between experimental and control groups concerning the values related to the effect of rural networks on participatory management in rural communities.
