These chaos will be manifested when residents start to operate the buildings, causing their dissatisfaction and can be a factor of creating inappropriate social ,cultural and economic conditions in future. Architecture as a container involving all aspects of man's life, will here cause discontent with an inappropriate realization. Part of this chaos whose results will be more evident at the time of operation ,is ignoring or paying less attention to the goals of frugality in energy consumption and design in harmony with environment and climate which has a surprising effect on the welfare and hygiene of the residents and will influence customs, traditions and life style of the villagers beside economic outcomes. This impacts will eventually damage sustainability and finally the village. Rural sustainable development with economic-social and environmental approaches will be possible by gathering all aspects of the village. In order to establish sustainability in the village ,the outlook should be from part to whole. Considering the subject of this study, housing as a part can act as a whole that if accurately planned and performed ,can be a realization of sustainability and an appropriate step toward sustainable development. Being compiled by studies in available documents, this paper tries to elaborate the factors affecting changes in rural construction and its proper function in village development and take steps in continuing rural housing architecture and as a basic element , cause sustainability in villages by offering appropriate strategies. %> http://jhre.ir/article-1-166-en.pdf %P 63-72 %& 63 %! %9 Research %L A-10-68-1 %+ Imam Khomeini University %G eng %@ 2008-4994 %[ 2012
