Abstract
Rural development is highly dependent on understanding the importance of business architecture and its connection to local economic strategies; however, the attention given to the long-standing link between indigenous architecture and the rural economy is often overlooked in contemporary research and planning. In this context, the current study analyzed data using SPSS and AMOS via correlation analysis, based on cluster random sampling of 180 rural business owners and producers, utilizing closed-ended questionnaires. By fixing the “Livelihood Housing” factor, two-factor and three-factor development models were compared across three verification levels (unconfirmed, evaluable, and fully confirmed); in the two-factor model section (comprising 8 models), 4 models concerning the relationship between housing and the farm (tourism and creative) were confirmed, whereas 4 other models (involving the relationship between housing and external architecture and supportive development) were not confirmed. In the three-factor model section (15 models), all models related to supportive development and creative farming were confirmed, and except for one case, the majority of models associated with supportive development and tourism farming were also confirmed; conversely, only one model related to supportive development and non-residential architecture was confirmed. Ultimately, the most reliable planning model is the three-factor model comprising development, support, creative farming, and livelihood housing.
