Abstract :
Many people become homeless every year due to natural disasters. Iran also has a high rank among countries in terms of the number and severity of disasters. Attention to purely physical approaches in reconstruction and resettlement after disaster has caused neglect of important concepts that affect various aspects of human life. One of the most important concepts is the sense of place, which can be affected by the method and pattern of reconstruction. In addition to advantages such as cheapness, implementation speed, environmental compatibility and people's participation in local construction methods, the use of vernacular architecture plays an important role in creating an identity space. By examining the villages affected by the 1990 Rudbar earthquake, this article sought to answer the question: Is there a significant relationship between the use of vernacular architecture in housing reconstruction and the residents' perception of the sense of place? The research was conducted in a quantitative-qualitative method by conducting library studies and field interviews with residents of 12 villages of Rudbar County. The results show that there is a significant relationship between vernacular architecture and its components (physical, communicational and functional) and the sense of place. The results of the regression test show that form, breeze and perfume, materials and social bond both directly and indirectly, strength and memory only directly, function and nature bond only indirectly affect the sense of place. Also, form and materials have the greatest impact. The findings of the research show that if, in addition to the form and materials, attention is paid to updating the reconstruction plan, the use of vernacular architecture in post-disaster housing is a fundamental strategy in improving the sense of place and residents' satisfaction.
