The power structure in the family is one of the issues that has aroused the sensitivity of researchers and thinkers in terms of the growing importance of the "family" in maintaining and sustaining societies as the most current perspectives on the study of family sociology. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the sociological relationship between housing in terms of urbanity and position in the hierarchy of power in Behbahan families. This research is a quantitative and descriptive-analytical method and is considered practical in terms of purpose. The statistical population of the present study includes households living in Behbahan, which is a total of 36,245 households. Cochran's formula with an error coefficient of 4% was used to select the sample. 588 households were selected into two-stage clusters. The questionnaire is distributed among married heads of households. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that the validity of the content was confirmed by a review of supervisors, consultants and some experts in this field. The reliability of the instrument was calculated and confirmed from Cronbach's alpha formula. Findings indicate that the hierarchy of authority (F = /14), the degree of unilateral power of the father (F = 50.125), the degree of unilateral power of the mother (F = 410/20) The structure of relative symmetric power (F = = 476/18) Women's access to power sources F (469/30)) varies according to the location of families in Behbahan.
