In the world of contemporary architecture and urban planning, the interaction of architecture with culture, identity, and history of a region is an important subject of study. Kish Island, as one of the prominent tourist destinations in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East, possesses a remarkable and diverse culture that has gained attention in recent decades. Through the interplay of economic growth, environmental conservation, and nature preservation, the island can highlight the issues of culture and identity in the Persian Gulf region. This research focuses on examining the cultural and identity components in indigenous architecture on Kish Island and the relationship between indigenous architecture, culture, and the natural environment.

The research methodology is descriptive-analytical, where the descriptive part is based on library studies, and the analytical part is conducted field-wise on Kish Island, relying on the outputs of theoretical foundations.

The research findings indicate that the indigenous architecture of Kish Island is significantly influenced by the climatic, social, and cultural conditions of the region. The use of local materials, specific designs for natural ventilation, and the incorporation of traditional forms are among the prominent features of Kish's indigenous architecture. Additionally, cultural elements such as decorative motifs, natural colors, and traditional patterns can be observed in the buildings.

Recognizing and preserving the cultural and identity components in Kish's indigenous architecture can contribute to sustainable development and the preservation of the region's cultural identity. Incorporating these components into contemporary designs not only enhances the beauty and functionality of the buildings but also strengthens the sense of belonging and indigenous identity among the residents. This research can serve as a model for other regions with distinctive indigenous architecture

The concept of sustainability has long characterized the rural architecture of Iran. However, today, social and economic changes have brought about developments in rural architecture, as modern villages have focused less on the concept of sustainability. Old rural architecture has valuable sustainability indicators which can be utilized in new designs. This research investigates the component affecting sustainability creation and its representation in the architecture of Armian village. This research was applied in terms of goal and descriptive-analytical in terms of methods. First, library sources were reviewed to determine the effective components. Then, a theoretical framework was presented after the content analysis, as the village of Armian was examined following field studies and analytical methods. Results indicated that social, cultural, economic and environmental dimensions contributed to rural architecture sustainability. As regards the social sustainability dimension, such components as social identity, sense of attachment, social interactions, vitality and social security; as regards cultural sustainability dimension, such components as participation and solidarity, cultural heritage and capital, value and cultural value; as regards economic sustainability dimension, such components as the type of material, effectiveness and avoiding nullity, employment and subsistence; and as regards environmental sustainability dimension, such components as an adaptation with the climatic conditions, dynamism and adaptability, respect and preservation of the environment were effective. These components and indicators have been noted in the Armian village fabric and housing. The Armian village architecture is an example of local, sustainable architecture in conformity with the rural life's identity, climate, culture and lifestyle.

having a standard house has been one of the aspirations of every rural household, and to gain that requires more government attention and support for rural housing. Since 2005, the Housing Foundation of the Islamic Revolution (Bonyad-e-Maskan) has seriously been busy retrofitting rural housing; nevertheless, most rural areas lack adequate quality housing. This study tries to analyze the role of credit on changing the housing patterns in rural areas of Bahmaee County and suggest provisions needed for this area. This study was carried out in a descriptive–analytical method, and has used field study and library research to collect data. Considering the population size (1166 households), the sample size of households to be surveyed, based on Cochrane formula, included 233 households. The study results showed that greatest effect of credit indices resulting in changes in the pattern of housing in the villages were that of duration and time of receiving funds from the Housing Foundation of the Islamic Revolution, so that 26.4% of the effects resulted from the credits were related to this index, and 18.3 percent were related to supervision on construction. Eventually, the correlation between dependent variable of changes in the rural housing pattern and the independent variable of housing credit, with a correlation coefficient of 0.34 and a significance level near to zero proved to be significant. According to the research findings on changes in housing patterns of the study area, the following guidelines are recommended: using local architectural patterns in retrofitting rural housing, proper level of infrastructure for residential renovations, and taking models of rural housing into account to achieve high quality housing.
