On this basis, managing community resources is one of the critical goals of the economic development of these communities, which gives everyone a chance to participate in the development process. Due to the complexity of the economic planning of communities, it is necessary to use new models in these programs that can help identify different sectors of economic development and take into account considerations such as the environmental and social effects of development. The Business and Community Matching Model (CBM) is one of the most practical and newest models in analyzing studies and employment of local communities and decision-making processes for them. In applying this model, the researcher must make several suggestions for optimal investment in economic jobs in a region based on factors affecting different areas of that region. The CBM model consists of eight steps: preparation and extraction of village assets, village goals, occupation groups list, job benefits, job needs, calculation of compatibility criteria, calculation of desirability criteria, and finally, offering the optimal occupation groups. This model has been implemented in "Kahrouyeh village." The analysis results show that the priority of the jobs proposed includes the occupation groups of agricultural and horticultural development, construction and development of greenhouses and animal husbandry, providing tourism services, and construction and development of units and workshops and workshops-exhibitions of handicraft production. Finally, the jobs related to them are proposed. Developing local communities with a sustainable economic approach is of particular importance.
