Nomads have been known for their unique way of life, namely nomadism. But there have always been attempts to relocate and forcibly resettle them, which had different goals, which in the period of Reza Shah, this process took on a different nature and process. The purpose of this study is to investigate the architectural aspect and the process of formation and construction of Bakhtiari nomadic houses during the implementation of their forced housing plan during the reign of Reza Shah, to investigate the possible role of architectural funds in people's dissatisfaction with the housing plan. The main question of the present study is what was the process of forming houses in the Bakhtiari nomadic settlement plan? In order to find out how the factors influencing the formation of architecture have been, and more precisely, what is the position of compatibility between humans and the environment in this project. The method of this research is historical-interpretive method and the reasoning method was inductive. Library and documentary methods and interviews were used to collect data. After collecting and categorizing the necessary information and organizing them, an attempt was made to investigate the role of socio-cultural dimensions in the implementation of this plan, the extent of human-environmental compatibility and its possible role in the failure of the forced housing plan. Bakhtiari territory was divided into two areas of Khuzestan and Chaharmahal for ease of settlement, and therefore, the general scope of the research geography includes the two above-mentioned provinces. The time domain studied in this research includes the time range of 1934 to 1941, that is, from the time when this plan was finally implemented despite the widespread opposition of the nomads until 1941, when the exile of Reza Shah and the overthrow of the government of the time, provided the necessary grounds for the tribal revolt and the destruction of houses built. The studies conducted in this study showed that the Bakhtiari nomads experienced voluntary settlement, but the forced and coercive implementation of this plan and the manner of realization and the quality of its implementation played an important role in the nomads' opposition to the issue of housing. The results show that Reza Shah's government, despite raising the issue of nomadic settlement with the slogan of modernization, in practice, not only did not take action to create suitable housing for the nomads, but also to build housing for the nomads themselves. Therefore, the lack of adequate housing and incompatibility between humans and the environment played a key role in residents' dissatisfaction and the failure of the forced housing plan, which led to their return to the migration system.
