Objective: Currently, housing poverty, as one of the most important dimensions of poverty in rural areas, has become a serious challenge for housing policymakers. Given the importance of this issue, the present study examined the driving and inhibiting factors affecting the development of rural housing (case study: villages in the central part of Ardabil Township). Method: The research method in this study is qualitative in nature, applied in purpose, and descriptive in survey in data collection. The statistical population of the study includes rural households in the central part of Ardabil city. Using the Cochran formula, the sample size of households was obtained as 360 households, and the questionnaires were distributed among the households in the study villages in proportion to the number of households using a simple random method. The structural equation test in LISREL software and the Kruskal-Wallis test in SPSS were used to analyze the data. Results: The physical-environmental factor (with an effect coefficient of 0.952), economic (with an effect coefficient of 0.941), managerial (with an effect coefficient of 0.903), and socio-cultural (with an effect coefficient of 0.897) are the most important inhibiting factors, respectively, and the physical-environmental factor (with an effect coefficient of 0.918), managerial (with an effect coefficient of 0.905), economic (with an effect coefficient of 0.876), and socio-cultural factor (with an effect coefficient of 0.866) are the most important driving factors, respectively, affecting the development of rural housing. Conclusions: In terms of inhibiting factors, the three villages of Zardalo (score 169.12), Qara-Tape (score 155.98), and Kol-Tape (score 1148.14) have the highest number of inhibiting factors for rural housing development, and the three villages of Aqbalagh Aghajan Khan (score 79.02), Khoskeh-Rood (score 84.15), and Anzab-Olia (score 88.32) have the lowest number of inhibiting factors for rural housing development. In terms of driving factors, the three villages of Aqbalagh Aghajan Khan (score 157.22), Hakim Qeshlaqi (score 145.34), and Khoskeh Rood (score 133.96) have the highest driving factors, and the three villages of Kal Tepe (score 19.81), Tazeh-e-Kand Rezaabad (score 86.05), and Banafsheh Daragh (score 90.65) have the lowest driving factors for rural housing development.
