Nowadays, awareness of rural facilities and cul de sacs and analyzing them in rural development planning process is so important and had been counted as necessities of designing the development plans and projects. In this order, varied projects had been applied in form of rural development plans that a rural housing renovation and improvement project is one of recent and also important type of them. This plan began from 1989 by agricultural Jihad ministry and for achieving to such purposes like: providing the suitable, safe and strong house for rural community. But it’s obvious that the effect of these kinds of projects don’t limited to scarce purpose of rural environment development and its impacts on rural environmental quality will be appearance in a long time. This study tried to assessing the effect of rural housing renovation and improvement projects on the rural environmental quality in Houmeh Dehestan from Shirvan township rural districts that contain 22 rural points. In this study had been used of analyzing – descriptive methodology in type of field study research. Sample size of study also had been chosen from rural housing loan recipients that through of Cochran formula are 203 families and selected by random. After questionnaire designing and confirming the validity and reliability using Cronbach's alpha (80%), data were analyzed in SPSS and that result show these project had a considerable effects on all indexes of rural environmental quality and economic dimension with total effect about 0.659 has the greatest impact and social dimension with total effect about 0.450 has less impact on the environmental quality of case study rural area.

Considering the extreme vulnerability of rural houses, offering low-interest credits to villagers has been one of the most important strategies for retrofitting and ameliorating of housing status in the country, especially in the last decade. Therefore, the study of factors influencing villagers that tend to make use of this facility could be one of the most important issues that could be contributing to the implementation of this strategy. With this purpose in mind, present study aims to investigate the motives of villagers to make use of such credits and is based on the Field study in Mehrooye district, fariab city Kerman Province. Research method has been documentary - analytical and field data was collected by questionnaire and for data analysis SPSS software, is used.

Different geographic environments, offer different potentials and problems in different fields especially in livelihood activities of their residents, attention to which gains a lot of importance in local and environmental programming. Thus identification and analysis of rural potentials and problems is an important step in the process of planning a sustainable rural development. Thus, in an explanatory and analytical approach. This study aims to assess the livelihood problems for villagers living in of Sardasht township based on its findings.

The aim of the current study is, which uses a descriptive-analytical tool, is to investigate the factors hindering the usage of sprinkler Irrigation systems among farmers in Ravansar and propose practical ways to reinforce these systems. The sample included those farmers who used sprinkler Irrigation in Ravansar (N = 190). Factor analysis was performed for analyzing the collected data. The results indicated that use of these systems among farmers in Ravansar is more due to the physical issues rather those theoretical issues. Physical variables of performance system issues (26/612), the agricultural characteristics (22/868), behavioral issues (19/997), and environmental factors (16/492) were found to account for the 82/969 percent of the variance. Additionally, theoretician factors of performance system issues (31/874), personal (19/980), technical (15/236), and technical incongruence (7/921) accounted for 72/711 percent of the shared variance. The findings also indicated that providing financial (bank) facilities in form of loans was the best way to implement these sprinklers Irrigation systems.

Earthquake risk identification and analysis in rural areas is the decisive factor in the reduction their damages and casualties. Because in the cycle of crisis management, planning and identification of rural settlements risk is necessary to achieve the waste resources prevent policy and utilization of the maximum power. In other words, many of the villages risk in the earthquake, is preventable with causes recognition and reduction of vulnerability roots.Therefore this study pays to discuses and analysis of the earthquake risk in the rural settlements of central District of Marand County with the descriptive- analytic methodology. The population of this study is consisted of 74 villages in the central District of Marand County, that all of them have been studied. To assess earthquake risk in study area, initially the earthquake risk assessment model was presented in rural areas based on the conceptual and operating framework and then weighting to the indexes using the academic professionals (30 analytical hierarchical process questionnaire) and data process in the GIS environment, indexes of exposure (using GIS analysis) and vulnerability (with using of TOPSIS technique) was calculated. It should be noted that, each of the parameters was measured and modeled within several indicators and finally, using of layers overlay analysis in the GIS, earthquake risk assessment was conducted in the study area. According to the results, about 32 percent of the studied villages are located in high and very high risk zones that raised the necessity of planning, based on principles of crisis management.

This study, has tried to express the quality of environment using theoretical conceptions in rural areas. The guide plan impacts on quality of rural environment was assessed through environmental quality indexes and criteria. The study methodology is based on library documents and experimental approach that was used in 17 rural areas of north and south Fendresk district of Ramyan county in the form of 359 cases of sample community. The obtained results show that for the from index with 0.438; has maximum impacts and the functional index with 0.288 has the minimum impact of guide plan implementation from 3 dimensional components on quality of rural environment. Thus, it could be argued that the guide plans have been carried out with formal and physical approaches in rural areas and their formal effectiveness is more than the functional one and functional changes in rural area as well.

Abstract The spatial and functional interrelationships between cities and surrounding areas, including rural areas in their influence on districts, gradually lead to different changes in different cases. One of these phenomena is spatial mobility (positional movement) of population from village to urban areas. Considering the effect of the village-urban migration, it is quite clear that the population, economy and villages physical structure will change. The present study discusses the changes in demographics, economics and the physical structure of rural settlements in east Tabriz which have been taken based on the village residency. Moreover, an attention has been paid to the root causes of such formation. This article is based on field studies (direct observation, various questionnaires and interviews with experts).The ultimate goal of the present study is the applied one, because it is aimed at understanding the physical changes, demographic and economic way to provide optimal solutions. The results of this article revealed that the interactive effect of the spatial and functional interrelationships between Tabriz metropolitan and under study villages has had a major role in the development of population, economy and physical changes of villages. Among this, ungovernable extension of Tabriz and existence of problems like high costs of life and livelihood problems, high price of land and settlement, excessive air pollution, are the educator elements on the contrary of the low cost of land and settlement, clean air in villages and existence of equipment of transport and the suitable roads in the under study villages which acts as a suction element and actuates some of the urban people to settle in the stated villages.
