But in recent decades, rural housing model is quickly and rapidly changed because of urbanization and development of tourism activities under the influence of external factors. Tourist villages of Rezvanshar are not excepted from this, so that many changes have been occurred in rural housing. The aim of this present paper is to explain the change of housing pattern due to the interaction between tourists and villagers in the Rezvanshahr for answering this question that whether the new architectural model in the sample is in accordance with the requirements and satisfaction of rural communities? this descriptive-survey study was based on observation, interviews and completing questionnaires that 358 questionnaires were completed by households in the sample villages, 8 questionnaires were completed by state officials and all local administrators.
