From the earliest period of deployment, Yazd-Ardakan plain had any natural choices for suitable living area from the point of view of its locating geographic. The main reasons for this are the limited availability of biological resources such as permanent waterrs and climatic conditions in the plain due to its geographical location. The method of research in this article is organized in the form of field researchs and documents in the form of related maps and diagrams. The most important goals of this paper are to present a settlement patterns based on climate, geography and ecology. The basic question of this research is based on this issue that formation of this city as one of the oldest settlements in Yazd-Ardakan plain was the result of interactions between man and his environment. In this paper, by using of archeological field studies and evaluating geographic and geomorphological components such as the diversity of water resources (ancient canals and technology of the Qanat), the slope and elevation of the earth and the geological facts of the Meybod plain showed that the formation of the Meybod has been possible in the area of plains with clay beds From prehistory till now. In the prehistoric period and before the introduction of canal technology, these settlements are formed seasonal and without permanent establishment beside the terraces of the villages of Barjin-Bideh. After familiarizing with Qanat technology, these settlements can be permanently maintained in the form of a modern city.

Eivan—a deep covered recess overlooking the courtyard—is a key element of domestic architecture in hot arid climates. The Yazd-Ardakan Plain is a rich water basin in the central Iranian Plateau which is home to cities such as Yazd, Ardakan, Meybod and Mehriz. This paper reviews the evolution of eivan in traditional houses of this Plain between 14 ~19 century AD. Some 12 houses of Mozaffari period (circa 14 century and 30 houses of Safavid period (circa 15~18 century AD) were studied, while houses of before and after this period have also been referred to where appropriate. It is concluded that although its proportions, area, construction techniques and its relation to other spaces have changed over time, eivan has definitely been a key element since at least early Islamic period and has maintained its prominent role in domestic architecture throughout later centuries.
