Abstract

Ecology is one of the important issues in creating sustainable residential areas like eco-cities and eco-villages. Today, development of cities and villages has created many environment damages and presenting some solutions to minimize these damages is useful. We should find a new model of residential area to fulfill with the new community requirements and create sustainable development in urban and village residential areas. The present study introduces and evaluates eco-village and how eco-villages have considered the concept of sustainability. Also, this study evaluates how sustainability goals based on the main solutions of sustainable architecture can focus on three important criteria of ecology, society and culture. The study method is based on document and analytic descriptive study. Finally, some solutions are introduced to create eco-villages based on the criteria in sustainable architecture.
