Abstract :

TThe landscape in rural areas is always known by tradition and identity, and one of the criteria of rurality is creating a sense of attachment and place belonging to rural areas, on the other hand, the realization of rural identity as a basic indicator requires knowing the components and how to restore identity. It is lost among the rural areas. Defining and explaining the theoretical framework of the realization of rural identity requires benefiting from the studies conducted in this field and other related topics. The review of previous research shows the weakness of the existing frameworks in relation to the realization of the rural identity based on the aesthetic approach. The purpose of this research is how to realize rural identity with a systematic review approach. The current research is fundamental in terms of its purpose, and with the approach of a systematic review of the literature related to the components of rural identity, landscape and aesthetics between the years 2000 and 2022, using 3 specific keywords and a clear and pre-designed strategy, from 5 databases. Information was collected. After screening and qualitative assessment, the final analysis was done on 37 articles. For the realization of rural identity with an aesthetic approach, it is necessary to know the structure and executive performance, existing requirements and background and practical measures, on the other hand, we need the participation of local people and related organizations in all stages of the implementation of the mentioned programs. With the help of cooperation and interaction between local people, related organizations and the government, it is possible to create a unique identity for each rural area and contribute to its sustainable economic and social development.
