Methodology:
Since the main goal of the current research was to investigate the effects of tourism in the rural areas of the central part of Baft county, an attempt has been made to realize the said goal by using the descriptive-analytical method and by using the quantitative method. In the present study, documentary and field survey methods were used to collect information and data. The statistical population of this research is in the central part of Baft city, there are 18 tourist-friendly villages with tourism potential, and all these 18 villages were selected to distribute and complete the questionnaire; The number of their families is 2512 people. And finally, using Cochran's formula, 333 people were selected as the sample size. Sampling of the target population was done by simple random method. Finally, a special quota has been considered for each of the 18 villages, which is proportional to the population of the villages. The main tool of the research was a questionnaire whose validity was checked through Cronbach's alpha (a = 0.9). Data analysis was done using SPSS and Amos software. In order to check the fit of the structural measurement model of tourism effects on rural development, the data collected with Amos software and Pearson and T statistical methods were analyzed.

In the social dimension, positive effects such as increased local attachment, familiarity, and increased interaction between ruralresidents and tourists were observed.In the environmental and physical factors, tourism has contributed to rural awareness of environmental conservation and improved service infrastructure. The impact coefficients obtained between tourism development and each of the four examined components are as follows: economic (0.94), physical (0.91), environmental (0.88), and social (0.79). Based on these results, in the studied villages, the greatest impact of tourism development can be in the economic and physical dimensions.
 
Discussion and Conclusion:

Based on this, in the studied villages, the economic and physical aspects can have the greatest impact on rural development. Among the most important effects of tourism in rural areas from the social dimension, social participation, place belonging and protection of intangible heritage have the most effects on tourism development. From the economic aspects of tourism in rural areas, employment, income and investment are the most important economic effects of tourism on tourism development. Among the physical effects of tourism in rural areas, access to services and facilities has the highest correlation coefficient among the physical effects. Also, the destruction of resources and the protection of natural heritage are the most important environmental effects of tourism in the regions, some of which have positive and some negative aspects. According to the evaluations of tourism in the economic field, tourism has created employment and increased income, but its negative effects, such as the increase in the price of goods, land and housing, land speculation, and the increase in construction, especially in garden lands, have been economically successful. has not done But in the social fields, tourism has had many positive effects, such as increasing the belonging of villagers to their village, increasing the familiarity of villagers' interactions with tourists, and transferring ideas to rural areas, reducing migration, and improving individual and public health conditions. Therefore, tourism has been successful in the social context. From an environmental and physical point of view, tourism has made the villagers aware of preserving the environment and increasing service infrastructures, but it has brought many negative effects such as environmental pollution by tourists, change of use and encroachment on gardens. Based on the surveys, it was found that tourists mostly go to rural areas to use natural attractions such as Khabar National Park, caves, bird habitats, etc. These facilities and cultural and historical attractions rarely enter rural areas.Therefore, taking the necessary measures and providing more facilities and services, increasing advertisements and more awareness of tourists from the villages of the region can cause favorable economic, social and environmental effects and lay the foundation for the development of tourism in the villages of the city, and considering the high volume of tourism that The city faces it especially in the spring and winter season, it is possible to help the socio-economic development of the villages with correct and principled planning.
