welfare services in villages which subsequently led to the alterations in house forms. This paper attempts to
investigate the changes process and the received damages to the historical texture in Soynas village belonged to
suburbs of Mahabad, in west Azerbaijan province and also determines the effective factors related to the
damages of rural houses in order to provide the required setting for proper decision-making. The research
methodology in this paper consists of historical and descriptive-analytical methods; in general, field studies and
documentary methods were applied for data gathering, and descriptive inferential statistics were utilized for the
analysis purposes. Investigation of this subject is presented in three sections: in the first stage, the formation
procedure of historical development, morphology of rural textures, importance of water sources, natural
environment, and social, economic characteristics were defined; in the second step, various features of Soynas
village such as architectural, cultural, and natural values as well as building construction methods were
