Physical Analysis of Rural Housing in the Border Strip of Hirmand County of Sistan

Villages in each region have almost the same body according to the same influential geographical factors. This body is similar in shape (mountainous, plain, forest, etc.) and different from the body of villages in other areas; However, intra-regional studies indicate that factors within the region can also create rural settlements with different bodies. The present study was conducted with the aim of physical analysis of rural housing in the border strip of Hirmand city of Sistan region. The method of the present study was descriptive-analytical and based on documentary and field studies. The statistical population of the study includes 1950 households of 40 villages in the border strip of Hirmand city, which are located in the east of the border road of Hirmand city. In this study, using the Cochran's formula, 321 households from the studied border villages were determined as a sample. By conducting documentary and field studies, research indicators were compiled and measured with a 5- point Likert scale in the questionnaire. Validity of the research questionnaire designed using a panel of experts and its reliability using Cronbach's alpha test (components of economic dimension 0.893, social dimension 0.755, environmental dimension 0.761 and components of physical difference housing 0.844) Approved. Data analysis was performed using Copras model and ArcGIS and SPSS software and the leveling of villages was examined in terms of physical differences and the severity of the impact of social, economic and environmental factors. The results of Kruskal-Wallis test showed that there is a significant difference (Sig = 0.000) between the dwellings of four rural border types and the results of Scheffe post hoc test showed that all indicators of different dimensions of research have a significant relationship (significance level less than 0.005) are together, but the average high changes in economic indicators indicate the greatest impact on creating a difference in the body of housing in the border villages of Hirmand.
