architectural strategies under the influence of rural business space & place (case: a delphi survey in babolkenar, iran)

Purpose- to examine the architectural and economic strategies of rural business spaces from the perspective of experts.design/methodology/approach- in synthesis of literature review, after reviewing 47 articles found, the relationships between variables in first relation between r.b.s & r.b.a: the components were extracted & converted to 8 components based on the roberts synthesis method. but since the main unknown of the research was architecture & speciology of the building, according to the gaps extracted 8 types of architecture were compiled & the axial coding & 8 research content was extracted from it. then the content-target-table was generated.  in the current step, since theoretical foundations were insufficient, a combined research method was used & the delphi research method was used in this phase of research. the study community had 41 elite subjects (rural-urban-architectural-entrepreneurial). to analyze the data collected based on the q factor analysis extracted results & ultimately the most influential factors on the rbs & rbp from each of the specified spatial attributes. the results of the study indicate that in total, 3 categories are emphasized, 5 categories in the 2nd priority, 3 categories are not generally approved by this community, but in some factors it is emphasized.findings- in response to the research question of what the classification and perspective of the community of experts are on the architectural strategies of rural business spaces, there are 7 views in this regard: requirements for multi-purpose spaces (second activity): separate, isolated, sanitary, and indigenous (12.67%); second activity in the form of multi-purpose buildings or increasing the area for the construction of a sales place in rural buildings (11.49%); the sales place is equipped with isolation (10.07%); sanitary and isolated interior architecture (cultivation space) (8.06%); indigenous model of health and isolation (7.85%); reconstruction of old buildings by equipping, and separating and increasing the business area (7.68%)  and etc.reseach limitation/implications- interdisciplinary and lack of coherent studies and literature on rural business architecture (r b a) and multi-purpose & hybrid building and architecpreneure (architecture + entrepreneurship).originality/value– research started with the hypothesis of multifunctionalization of production spaces, but ultimately concepts such as health & reducing the penetration of the second activity pest were given priority over multifunctioning & combining activities. there for the priority of health concepts & sales & second activity is the innovation of this research.
