Architectural structures of the rural environment are considered as important outcomes of human activities that over the centuries, according to the strong logic of the social and cultural environment have evolved. This means that the morphology and spatial patterns of rural architecture gradually in line with the estimating of socio-cultural needs of the resident population (to meet residency requirement, to provide the privacy of the household and production system) and in interaction with the physical environment have developed. Rural settlements are spatial -space phenomena that are the result of human interaction with each other and with the environment which in addition to interactions between internal components (natural, social, economic, physical, space) are in contras twith other systems and external forces. Thus, the settlements represent the human roles that over time and according to the conditions are for med and organized. Accordingly, the rural settlements space according to the mentioned specifications has certain structure and determined actual and potential talent that in certain are as affected by internal and external forces, for whatever reason are at odds with each other. So that, if the system and performance of this spatial organization be impaired, rural settlements are unsustainable. This study aimed to identify optimal patterns of housing and its role in sustainable development of rural architecture. The population of rural settlements in Masal city is 8351 that using the Cochran-sampling, 368 samples were selected. First, using the Delphi technique, the architecture and construction of rural housing patterns were identified correctly and were divided into 5 groups. Finally, using statistical method sand techniques MADM such as AHP and TOPSIS, these factors were prioritized. The results of this study indicate that among the five factors that affect housing construction, economic factors have the greatest impact. This factor with Ci=0.987 has had the greatest role.
