Spatial Analysis of Irans’ Rural Settlement

The analysis of the pattern of the arrangement of settlements in the Iran It is effective in creating and developing population centers. This research in the area of spatial planning and relying on quantitative-analytical method, has analyzed the pattern of spatial arrangement of rural settlements based on environmental factors.Therefore, it analyzes the spatial pattern of rural settlements. Morphology of the space of rural settlements in Iran according to environmental factors such as; Elevation, slope, aspect, convex and concave surfaces, land surface temperature (LST), precipitation, relative humidity have been analyzed. And by analyzing and combining these factors, raster data models and new concepts have been invented and explained. After thresholding and coding the raster data model, the spatial relationships between them have been processed and Iran's Geomorphic systems have been extracted. Then, the pattern of spatial syntax of rural settlements and the potential of environmental civilization in each of the Geomorphic systems and subsystems have been analyzed and studied. Also, the potential of environmental civilization with morphological components including Elevation, slope and aspect was calculated and analyzed. The results of this study show that the pattern of spatial syntax of rural settlements has been in interaction with Geomorphic systems and morphological components. Also, the analysis of the land spatial analysis can play an important and effective role in achieving the strategic goals of the Iranian residential system, within the framework of the principles of fundamental spatial planning.
