One of the important pillars of sustainable rural development is attention to environmental health and pollution-free. The aim of this study is to identify environmental pollutants and their impact on the health of rural residents in Kurdistan province in mountainous and foothill areas. Descriptive-analytical analysis method in which 6 major pollution variables of natural and human origin were identified. 3 natural variables. Including temperature, dusty days, local wind, in human dimensions, 3 variables, lack of planning in locating landfills, lack of investment in safe water supply and lack of design and architecture compatible with climate are important factors in environmental pollution. Rural biology identified.The results showed that one of the factors threatening the health and well-being of rural residents in the interior of houses is due to the production of incomplete methane and monoxide produced by animal waste at the rate of 25-30 ppm in 10 hours. But in the rural environment, dust, regional and local winds, high temperatures in summer and the release of livestock waste in the rural environment, which leads to the production of various insects and vermin. The combination of these factors is considered as the most important environmental pollutants and a threat to the health of rural people.

Nowadays, while there are a number of definitions have been introduced for the concept of zoning, there is no general consensus due to different disciplines adopt this term. In the field of planning, the zoning is a conscious and contemplative process to detect homogenous areas by an authority to allocate certain kinds of resources to them. Therefore, the process of zoning is an essential task to allocate and monitor the development projects for different type of territories. In this article, zoning is took into consideration from the rural transportation point of view to find what would be the homogeneous zones of rural transportation for Iran? To answer this question, an in-depth spatial analysis through the Geographical Information System (GIS) is performed with regards to a descriptive-analytical method. Based on four main indices which are fully explored in the paper (i.e., access to the link road, distance to urban hierarchical levels, rural density and land use), five homogenous distinct zones for Iran is emerged. The resulted zones which are presented on a country map would be useful for future rural transportation planning in Iran.
