چکیده:
Rural women devote a significant portion of their time and energy to family commitments and activities that are often overlooked in national production and income calculations. The main consequence of this neglect is increased inequality and reduced access to resources. The purpose of this study is to identify the types of activities women engage in in the village of Dona, in Mazandaran province, and to map the pattern of time allocation to each of these activities. This study was conducted using qualitative research methods over four seasons of the year 1381 (2002-2003). The results of the research show that the women studied spend more than two-thirds of their waking hours on productive activities. This figure averages 10 hours and 26 minutes per day. These women also spend an average of about 17 minutes per day on cleaning, treatment, and leisure, and education and study have no place in their time allocation patterns.

Average and Percentage of Time Allocated to Sub-Daily Activities Throughout the Year The individuals studied were 10 rural women who were selected using the theoretical sampling method[1].
In using the method of flexible structured group discussions, it was considered that in individual interviews, marginalized groups, especially women and villagers, are more likely than others to talk about topics that interest the researcher and often remain silent about their own private concerns (Maynard[1] and Purvis[2], 1994, as quoted in: Denzin[3] and Lincoln[4], 1380: 205).
Based on the research findings, women in the village of Dona spend an average of about 10 hours and 4 minutes per day, or 65 percent of their waking hours, on productive work throughout the year.
The amount of productive activities varies greatly in different seasons of the year, reaching its peak in summer with an average of 12 hours and 23 minutes per day, or 72.
Average and Proportion of Time Allocated to Daily Activity Groups Throughout the Year During Waking Hours Activity Group Average (minutes) Proportion (percent) Non-Market Productive 6.
Non-Market Productive Activities According to the research findings, non-market productive work, which mainly includes caring for children, preparing food and clothing, and cleaning the house, constitutes the most important group of activities for these women, occupying 6 hours per day (37.
Research findings show that performing this activity in different seasons occupies about 41 minutes (3 percent) of the time of the women studied per day with a slight difference.
