Background and Theoretical Foundations: Climate change, as a long-term change in climate patterns, requires the appropriate response of the society to maintain coastal rural life. However, the impacts of climate change on rural coastal settlements are not yet fully understood. In addition, views on the effects of weather on rural livelihoods and its relationship with various factors have been discussed. Therefore, new researches regarding the identification of the key influencing factors in the structure of rural settlements need to analyze the influencing factors on the structure of rural settlements in Makran coastal region in the face of climate change.
Methodology: The general approach of the research is qualitative research, and in terms of the data collection method, it is based on library and documentary data. Therefore, the required information was collected in two stages. In the first stage, the materials related to the research literature were collected by referring to documentary sources such as magazines and authentic scientific articles, in the next stage, the information was collected using the expert questionnaire tool (in person and virtual questionnaire). The statistical population of the research included 39 experts related to the subject, including academics, managers and experts. Due to the limited access to the statistical population, available sampling method was used.
Findings: The findings of the research show that the environmental factor has the greatest relationship or influence among the measured factors in the structure of rural settlements in the coastal area of Makran, which is consistent with the conducted studies. On the other hand, criteria such as compatibility and infrastructural and physical conditions have had the least relationship with changes and developments. It seems that the non-adaptation of the structure of these settlements and the lack of proper infrastructure and physical conditions in the face of these changes will cause the instability of these societies.
Conclusion: The results of this study show that climate changes have an effect on the structure of coastal villages, and in particular, environmental factors at the macro level have a greater effect on the structure of these villages. Also, natural factors play an important role in the formation of land use patterns in rural areas. |
