Design/methodology/approach-The research methodology is descriptive and analytical and the required data were collected using the questionnaire instrument. The study population was 7975 people living in 11 resettled villages in Varzeghan County. The sample size was 382 people who were randomly selected. The validity of questionnaire was confirmed by experts and its reliability was also obtained 0. 921 using Cronbach Formula. Finding-Results indicate that the quality of life of villages in Likert six-point scale was equal to 3. 47, and the highest and lowest levels of satisfaction are related to the areas of infrastructure, employment and income. In addition, the results of the factorial analysis were identified in four dimensions for quality of life. In this regard, the four factors of physical, economy, psychology, and housing clearly explain the 90. 95% of the variance of quality of life. The results of T, Tukey, and Scheffe tests also showed a significant difference between the Resettlement patterns and the quadruple dimensions of quality of life. Practical implications-With respect to the importance of quality of life in the development and welfare of human societies in Resettlement projects, it is necessary to considerate the effects and consequences concerning the quality of life in addition to selecting the optimal rural site in order to improve the residents’ wellbeing while identifying the strengths and weaknesses of these projects.
