The Necessity of Family-led Style of Architecture Training in Case of Rural Houses of Iran Retrofitting of rural housing is one of the most important issues to improve the quality of village life and prevent possible damage during a natural disaster. Therefore, the retrofitting of rural housing has become the focal point of concern in the Islamic Revolution Housing Foundation and other responsible institutions and agencies .Experts believe budgets would be better spent implementing fundamental changes in rural housing rather than dealing with the mental and physical damage that natural disasters cause .As a result, many actions with the objective of institutionalizing a culture of strong construction and retrofitting existing homes have been taken. Educating the rural population is one example. Teaching how to make use of materials, suitable and durable construction, are some of the most important acts carried out. But the main issue is how this training can be done with more depth and how to make its effects more durable .According to the hypothesis being considered, if instead of the general populace, families were taught (family-led training), the education would be more durable and stable. To test this hypothesis, four villages were selected randomly and in each, two groups were evaluated .The first group included those who had participated individually in the training and the second group was dedicated to families who had participated in training. The research method implied in this survey is the definitive-analytical method, also known as the logical argumentation in novel research methods, since these methods are based on the ability of arguments and available data to prepare the required answers for investigational questions. The technique used for collecting data is field survey, in which the quantitative data is chosen from the archetypes. The general topic information and theoretical literature is based on studies by professional systems, especially the Residence Foundation of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is collected by the library method. Processing data is accomplished by graphs and illative methods. Study results indicate that although family-led training does not show much success in the beginning, after the end of the experimentation period and the passing of time, greater success was achieved .Family-led training, due to family interaction and the training system, strengthens the education and is more harmonious with rural and village life which is based on families. The aforementioned model can be suitable for rural education .This method of teaching causes the will for co-operation and the sense of self-help within the family and out in the rural community. Although these cases can be seen in individual education, studies show that continuous education, which is a characteristic of successful teaching, is more effective in family-led education.
