The methodology is descriptive - analytical and is based on the survey. In this way Mappak techniques for environmental ranking perceptual space is used villagers against the phenomenon of drought.
The study is based on in-depth studies and field applications using quantitative models, to rank the study area is rural settlements. Namely, the weight of each criterion after the questionnaires and data entry were determined to Spss with Shannon entropy techniques (MAPPAC) is used for ranking.In this study, Spss software for data entry using software and techniques SANA Mappak, final comments in relation to environmental perceptions and rural residents has been ranked the phenomenon of drought.
The results show that in rural areas such as RzyAbad Dalfard and Myjan first place, FthAbad second and third place, respectively Khaardan.And compared to other villages of rank higher on the peripheral perception drought and Tvansth‌And are more compatible with the environment and understand it with the surrounding environment and their rural communities.
