The aim of this study was to design an interpretive structural model for the sustainable development of rural entrepreneurship in Golestan province. Therefore, this research is based on the purpose of development-applied type and based on the method, descriptive-correlation. For this purpose, in the first step, the elements of the model of sustainable development of rural entrepreneurship were identified from the theoretical literature (by systematic review method) and interviews with experts (content analysis). The output of this step was to identify 29 components in the form of four main dimensions. In the next step, in order to establish the relationship and sequence between the dimensions and present their structural model, the interpretive structural modeling method was used. In this method, based on the opinions of experts and analyzes, the model of sustainable rural entrepreneurship development was calculated. The results indicate that social and environmental dimensions were in the first level and economic and institutional in the second level.
