In the current research, according to the nature of the subject and research objectives, qualitative survey research method was used. In order to carry out this research, three types of restoration actions were selected, including planting with Atriplex species in Azarshahr city, planting and with Tamarix, Nitraria and Atriplex species in Shabestar city, and constructing a non-living windbreak using Tamarix species in Ajabshir city. local communities are most willing to participate in the implementation of new irrigation systems in order to save water consumption, agriculture with less water demand, and participation in planning and formulation of revitalization plans with average scores of 3.41, 3.19 and 2.93 respectively. According to the results, from the point of view of the local communities, the actions of the restoration headquarters have a significant difference in terms of economic effectiveness, and the economic effects of constructing a non-living windbreak have been greater than the other two methods. It seems that we can hope for positive results of the actions of the restoration headquarters if the appropriateness of restoration measures is observed with the ecological conditions of the region and the participation of local communities.
