Desertification is a complex issue, which is caused by both natural processes and human activities. This includes land degradation due to various factors such as wind and water erosion, destruction of vegetation and reduction of water resources. Sustainable human development depends on three key elements: people, resources and participation. The purpose of this research is to identify the criteria and indicators that affect the non-sustainable participation of rural communities in desertification plans, to prioritize these criteria and indicators based on the local residents' point of view, and to provide solutions to increase the participation of villagers. The communities in the desertification plans of this research are the villages of Ghayasabad, Shorkazi and Mohsen Abad in Garmsar city, which have existing plans for desertification. After the initial evaluation of the areas, talking with the local residents, appropriate criteria and indicators for preparing the questionnaire were determined and distributed among the people. In order to analyze the questionnaires, the Friedman test was used to prioritize the indicators. The results showed that educational criterion is the most important criterion of non-participation of people in desertification projects from the point of view of local communities (2.69 rank) and social (2.63), economic (2.35) and Planning (2/33) from the point of view of local communities were prioritized in the next stages. Also, Friedman's test showed that, from the point of view of local communities, the index of non-use of local promoter groups, with an average rank of 11.72 and 10.33, respectively, is the most important index affecting people's non-participation in desert projects. were detected.
