Material & Method: This research was descriptive-analytical in nature and method, and AMOS software and the AHP technique were used for data analysis. Finding: The results of the structural model showed that the variable of publishing added value and emission rights of industries to villages with a coefficient of 0.98 was the most important positive effect, and the variable of reducing the number of farmers with a coefficient of 1.04 was introduced as the most significant negative consequence of loading industries. The results of the AHP model showed that the criterion of publishing added value and emission rights of industries to villages and increasing income and employment, with a weight of 0.511, was the most important positive effect, and the criterion of agricultural decay with a weight of 0.254 was introduced as the most important negative consequence of the establishment of industries.
