This research addresses the challenges and legal rights associated with registering documents and documenting agricultural lands. Several laws have been enacted and implemented regarding the documentation of agricultural lands, yet farmers show little inclination to document their lands. There are several reasons for this. This research aims to investigate the causes and factors underlying farmers' reluctance to document their agricultural lands in rural areas of Dalahu County. The research method is quantitative, descriptive, and analytical, and the necessary data were collected using a questionnaire. The sample size was determined using the Cochran formula as 265 respondents. The reliability of the research was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.74), and validity was evaluated by experts in geography and law. The findings indicate that lack of awareness of the laws, various documentation costs, land ownership challenges, and disputes between individuals are among the factors that have made land documentation challenging. The benefits of land deeding include job creation and increased investment in land through credit access and land improvement. The results show that there is a relationship between the issuance of agricultural documents and economic components at the 0.05 level, and with social and educational components at the 0.01 level. Regression findings show that among the variables, the social variable is the most important factor motivating the issuance of documents for agricultural lands among villagers, followed by the educational factor and finally the economic factor.
Extended Abstract
Introduction
This research addresses the challenges and legal rights related to document registration and the documentation of agricultural lands. Several laws have been approved and implemented regarding the documentation of agricultural lands, yet farmers show little inclination to document their lands. Kermanshah Province, particularly Dalahu County, is among the provinces where the issue of land documentation has been addressed and several measures have been taken in this regard. However, in Dalahu County, some agricultural villages have not yet been documented, and there is little interest among rural residents in documenting their lands. However, due to the negative impacts of undocumented land, such as the inability to mechanize land, lack of access to loans, and legal conflicts and inheritance issues, it is necessary to take measures to address the causes and factors affecting land documentation, and the purpose of this research is to examine these causes. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to investigate the causes and motivations of farmers' reluctance to document their agricultural lands in selected rural areas of Dalahu County.
 
Methodology
In this study, the statistical population consists of villagers in Dalahu County. Rural households are considered the statistical population. For sampling in this study, a multi-stage cluster sampling method is employed. In this case, the statistical population is divided into relatively homogeneous groups or classes based on geographical and demographic characteristics. Once the classes are formed, a sample is selected from each class separately, and finally simple random sampling is performed to select a sample from each class.
 
Results and Discussion
The effect of issuing title deeds on the willingness of villagers shows that obtaining a single-page title deed reduces tensions and disputes, provides well-being and peace of mind, facilitates access to loans, enables the signing of deeds, and provides training courses. However, villagers were satisfied in the social dimension, particularly in terms of sympathy, peace of mind, and sense of belonging, and on the other hand, their awareness of the title deed, related laws, and issuance procedures is low. Lack of awareness among the people, absence of training courses, migration of villagers, delays in issuing documents, and the existence of cumbersome laws have led to their relative deprivation with respect to the single-page title deed. Overall, this study showed that people's willingness to obtain title deeds has led to changes in the economic, social, and educational dimensions in rural areas. The findings of the study show that among the economic, social, and educational dimensions, the social dimension has the highest priority and the economic dimension has the lowest priority. The educational dimension is the second priority. Unlike most countries, the Iranian cadastral system focuses primarily on the registered cadastre, which is managed by the General Directorate of Cadastre of the Document and Property Registration Organization.
 
Conclusion
Cadastral maps prevent violations of treasury rights, land grabbing, forgery, and related offenses. If the cadastre is properly implemented, it will determine land boundaries and reduce land disparities. Additionally, the integration of agricultural lands is one of the issues of concern to the legislator. According to the information and surveys obtained on the number of agricultural land users in the country, more than half of these users operate small and uneconomic plots of less than two hectares, which indicates the uneconomic condition of agriculture on such lands. The implementation of the document issuance plan may not be successful in achieving the comprehensive development of the village. The necessity of implementing other plans in the village has contributed to its more effective implementation and will lead to comprehensive development in the village and greater success of the ownership document issuance plan in the village under study. One of the benefits of documenting land is job creation and increased investment in land through the provision of loans and land improvement. The findings of the research show that there is a difference between the issuance of agricultural documents and economic components at the 0.05 level, and social and educational components at the 0.01 level. The regression findings show that among the variables, the social variable is the most important motivational factor for issuing documents for agricultu.
