| Summary: | The gathering of rural type in Guilan plains is a kind of
planning for physical development of rural settlements that
aims at changing dwellers' lifestyle from a dispersed to a semidispersed
state. This change will reduce the problems and
difficulties of villages. In addition, it is an optimal way to
exploit the resources and facilities for making a desirable spatial
organization for villagers’ settlement in rural areas, which in
turn provides a favorable condition for the development of a
new pattern of settlement. The results of this study suggest that
experts’ point of view toward gathering of plain rural types in
Guilan province is positive and it can have significant role in alleviating
the problems and difficulties of the villages. Also,
optimal exploitation of space and achieving rural sustainable
development are other side effects of this plan. Because of the
low level of information, prominent culture, cultural obstacles
and the lack of clear rules and regulations in this field are the
main obstacles to run this plan in a short-term period. Given
these limitations, the process of gathering plain rural type, then,
requires the governmental support, the use of experts in rural
development planning, as well as villagers’ cooperation. |
