Abstract
Objective: “Nowadays, most rural areas in developing countries are facing various economic, social and environmental challenges that lead to social isolation of these areas and ultimately to the intensification of poverty. Therefore, the discussion of creative settlements has been raised as a new, very reasonable and powerful idea to get rid of the challenges in most regions of the country. In this regard, the aim of the present study is to examine and present a suitable model for the formation of creative settlements in rural areas at the level of villages in Rashtkhar Township. MethodsThis research was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method. In this regard, a suitable model for the formation of creative settlements in rural areas was investigated. For this purpose, first, in addition to documentary studies and initial field visits, a wide range of indicators were determined in accordance with the conditions of the village under study. Then, data collection was carried out based on selected indicators using field observation forms and expert and household questionnaires. Fuzzy data analysis and SPSS software were also used to analyze the data. Results: The research findings confirm that based on the supplementary questionnaire by rural households, the participation component is ranked first with an average of 4.05. On the other hand, the findings show that in 70.3 percent of households, the level of change in the process of forming creative settlement patterns in rural areas has increased compared to the past 10 years, while in 21.2 percent of households surveyed, the level of change in the process of forming creative settlement patterns in rural areas has decreased in this time period.
