Abstract
Land reform is the most important event in the land ownership system in the contemporary history of Iran. Also, agrarian reforms can be considered as one of the most important social and economic reform programs in Iran in the contemporary period. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the process and consequences of land reforms in the eastern areas of Gilan province. The method of conducting this research was library and documents. The results of the research showed that the evolution of land reforms led to the formation of marginalization around Tehran and other big cities of Iran and changed the demographic composition of Iranian cities. And this migration of agricultural workers and well-to-do people has caused the fall of agriculture and animal husbandry, and in the process of this migration, at the same time, the formation of a new stratification, which has become the working-rural society of Iran, and the process of formation of this stratum with a new social aspiration in the decade post-20 years, after adjusting the political blockade and creating a democratic environment, it should be seen from this angle. The land reform allowed peasants and small farmers to have greater control over their own land and resources. It empowered them to make decisions regarding agricultural practices, crop choices, and investment in their farms. This newfound autonomy led to the emergence of vibrant rural communities with a stronger sense of self-reliance and collective identity.
