In recent years, with the aim of achieving favorable living conditions and creating equality, justice, reducing poverty and inequality, rural settlements have been exposed to large construction plans and projects with high investment volumes to provide the basis for stabilizing the population in villages. This article examines and evaluates the effects of construction measures carried out in stabilizing the rural population of Ek district. In this regard, the basic question of the research is what is the relationship between the construction measures carried out and the stabilization of the rural population in the study area. The research method is descriptive-analytical in nature and applied in nature. The method of collecting information is library and field methods. The statistical population includes 9 villages of Ek district. Data analysis was done quantitatively using field survey data and census data (1355-1395). Descriptive statistics including mean, median and standard deviation were used for data analysis. Then, using the entropy model, population balance and settlement distribution were measured, and structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesis. The findings of the entropy model show that in measuring the dispersion and the change in the size of the settlements, the entropy level has decreased from 139.6 in 2015 to 119.7 in 2015. Also, the amount of entropy of distribution and spatial distribution of rural population has increased from 159.9 in 1355 to 148.2 in 1395. The lower the amount of entropy indicates a balanced distribution, therefore, based on the results of the model, the distribution of the settlement system and population at the village level has become more balanced. Also, the results of structural equation modeling show that the effects of construction measures carried out in different dimensions have a significant relationship with the reduction of migration, and the highest correlation coefficient between the two social and economic dimensions is 1.06%.

One of the most important needs of rural development is rural housing. The construction of rural resistant housing and providing appropriate houses for villager has often been important elements of various development programs. Retrofitting means increasing the resistance of a structure (building) against the forces and improving the condition of the texture and internal elements of the housing and includes a set of measures that increase the life and strength of the building with small changes in the structure.This study attempts to investigate the effects of retrofitting the houses on physical quality of rural ancient Ghochan Atigh County. This study seeks to answer this question, what is the relationship between retrofitting the rural houses, and physical stability and the quality of housing area of the study? This study is functional and descriptive-analytical methods are used. Information and required data were collected by means of library and field methods. To analyze the data, quantitative methods were used in the form of descriptive and inferential statistics (One samples T test, Wilcoxon and Pearson). The area under study consists of 46 villages, which 15 villages were selected as sample. The Number of required samples to complete the questionnaire were determined 150 household by using a modified Cochran formula and questionnaires were distributed in the form of quota sampling in the villages of rural area. The results of the study indicate that there is a significant relationship between Retrofitting rural housing and physical stability in the area of the study with a confidence level of 99% at a rate 0.277 and the quality of housing at a rate 0.262, and a significant difference has been observed in the periods before and after retrofitting to improve the quality of housing and physical stability in the study in the area of study.Retrofitting rural housing while increasing the strength and reducing its vulnerability to natural hazards; Improvement of the physical quality in rural areas has been followed in the study area.
