Living spaces in each region are shaped by the cultural, environmental, social, historical, and political influences of that region. The city of Paveh, located in the north of Kermanshah province, is home to valuable historical houses, primarily built in a stepped arrangement that conforms to the topography and slope of the land. This research aimed to understand the physical and spatial elements in the traditional houses of Paveh. By examining these elements, the study identified the factors influencing the form and physical and spatial characteristics of these traditional houses. The research employed a descriptive-analytical method, incorporating the study of existing conditions, interviews, document reviews, observation, and mapping. The target population was selected purposefully using a snowball sampling method. The results indicate that the interior spaces of Paveh's traditional houses serve multiple purposes, including hallways, kitchens, storage rooms, rooms, and staircases, arranged on one or two floors. The factors influencing the design of these houses include cultural, social, religious, and economic characteristics. Notable features include the use of natural materials, spatial hierarchy, appropriate separation of spaces, construction of houses atop or adjacent to each other, and attention to climatic considerations such as proper orientation, "Chinese chairs," and appropriately sized openings. These elements are the most important factors in shaping the physical form and spatial organization of houses in Paveh.

Undoubtedly, privacy with the tool of spatial hierarchy has been one of the main criteria for designing and building Islamic cities. Islam's emphasis on privacy has caused this characteristic to affect all social and cultural aspects of which architecture is one of its manifestations. The architecture of buildings is designed to respond to the cultural and environmental needs of people. Since the model of the contemporary houses of Kermanshah is to some extent proof of the disregard for the principle of privacy in Iranian architecture and culture, providing a model for maintaining privacy in modern houses based on the typology of housing seems to be one of the necessities. This research aims to know the spatial hierarchy in creating privacy in the historical typology of houses. By investigating the spatial hierarchy in creating privacy, the evolution of these spaces in the houses of three eras was investigated. The research method is descriptive-analytical, with an emphasis on logical reasoning. The research findings show that in the historical houses (traditional and transition period) of Kermanshah, the hierarchy in entering the house has been proportional to the needs of the residents, and this proportionality is less in the priority of attention of today's designers. Therefore, by creating a hierarchy in the entrance space, in addition to creating privacy, it is possible to achieve a proper definition of private and semi-private spaces in contemporary (modern) houses and to prevent disruption in the use and identity of other spaces.
