The spatial pattern of rural settlements in mountainous areas is limited and unstable compared to other geographical areas. Given the unsustainable patterns of life in these areas, understanding their biological realities can play an important role in the future reconstruction of living spaces. The present study, according to the limited literature in this field, has analyzed the place-spatial pattern of livability in the mountainous rural area of ​​Chorzeq rural district in Tarom county of Zanjan province. The theoretical framework of the research is based on a four-dimensional model of viability and development of sustainable places. The study population (analysis level) included mountainous settlements of Chorzeq district (23 rural points) and the sample size (households) according to Cochran's formula was 131 samples, which were distributed among the villages based on the proportional proportion of the number of households in each village. And sampling was done by simple random method. Necessary information and data were collected in two ways: library and field (with a questionnaire). Statistical analysis of questionnaire data was performed by one-sample t-test; Then, in order to determine the spatial-spatial pattern of viability in rural settlements, the viability score of the regions was obtained in the Vickor model and analyzed by the spatial model of hot spots. The required diagrams and maps were drawn in the GIS software environment. According to the research results, bioavailability indices in all dimensions are accepted by the local community and the study areas are in good condition in terms of environmental bioavailability. In terms of biodegradability and its spatial pattern, only the eastern regions of the study area have a regular cluster pattern. Also, there is a significant relationship between spatial factors and biodiversity indices in which spatial factors of altitude and slope have played a greater role.
