Cultural, social, and economic changes and the compulsion of government institutions to create a new way of life and improve the conditions of villagers have brought about changes in rural housing. Thus, yard, which is an integral part of a rural house, undergoes fundamental changes in its body and function. Considering the role of the yard in rural life and with the aim of finding the factors affecting its physical and functional changes, the research studies and examines the rural settlements of Garmsar city. The study is applied research and the method is descriptive-analytical. Data have been collected through field observation, surveying, documents, and library resources. The villages have been selected purposefully and non-randomly, and the sample size is 5% of the statistical population in a random way. Data analysis was done with SPSS and factor analysis to classify the physical and functional factors of the yard. Then, using the one-way analysis of variance (One-Way Anova) it described and analyzed the information. The results show that among the 4 factors identified in the physical changes of the yard, 2 factors, i.e., diversity and flexibility and open space have a significant connection with traditional and contemporary buildings and are most effective in traditional and renovated houses. In other words, there is a hierarchy in the construction of the yard in the rural housing, and in the new rural housing, diversity and open space are also reduced. In this research, open space is a part of yard that includes the essentials of rural life and does not include only unbuilt spaces. Furthermore, the results of functional change analysis also show that, among the 3 identified components, only the factor related to livelihood function has a significant connection and the function of spaces such as: toilets, equipment storages, kitchens, entrances, and terraces in the yards of old houses and reconstruction plays a more effective role than in the yards of contemporary houses.
