Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of housing on livelihood resilience of nomadic families. For this purpose, the required information was prepared by completing 287 questionnaires in Fasa city and their livelihood resilience was calculated. Then, the effect of housing on household resilience index was investigated using endogenous switching regression method. The results show that the settlement of nomadic households will reduce their livelihood resilience by 13.75%.
