To analyze the subject In the social dimension of six indicators in the form of 33 indicators, In the economic dimension in five indicators in the form of 23 indicators In the environmental dimension, three indicators were used in the form of 10 indicators. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a panel of expert and experienced experts. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was calculated to be 0.87. The results based on the one-sample t-test indicate The rural livelihoods are poor And in all aspects of average viability, the mean is lower than normal.
