Abstract :
Background and Objective: In the contemporary world, the development of rural tourism is considered an effective step in economic prosperity, creating incentives and economic attractions for the investors of eco-tourism residences, which, while promoting sustainable tourism, helps preserve the value of It is considered one of the methods of tourism development to provide the natives of the rural textures of the region. Therefore, the current research, with the aim of sustainable development of rural tourism in Mazandaran, deals with finding the best modern building structure in terms of compatibility with the construction indicators of ecotourism residences. Material and Methodology: the research is an applied one in terms of its purpose and is a descriptive-survey in terms of its nature, in which the combined analysis method is used. The information is collected through library research and survey methods. ¬The researcher-made questionnaire were completed by 12 architecture and structures experts. In the quantitative section, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) parametric test was used to determine the opinion of experts, ¬ then LSD and Duncan post hoc tests were used to determine whether there is any significant relation between different structures. The current research was carried out in the territory of Mazandaran province and in the period of Farvardin 1400 to Khordad 1401. Findings: ¬ the results of the analysis of structures based on the specifications of "Technical theory" in the construction of ecotourism residences show that LSF and 3D-PANEL structures are the most optimal structures. Discussion and Conclusion: One of the factors influencing the growth of rural tourism is the construction of eco-tourism residences in accordance with the principles of native architecture. In order to attract investors in such projects; Localizing modern structures and using them instead of traditional structures by high construction speed can lead to fast return on investment and also it can predispose maintaining and improving the physical values of the village. It seems that due to the similarity of the selected structures in the research findings in terms of technical, economic, industrial and cultural justification with the native structures of Mazandaran; it is possible to create job opportunities by taking the help of local structural experts and collaborative implementation.
