Valley villages at the west of Mashhad province, that are settled in heights between 1400-1900 meters from the sea level, in Torghabeh district of Mashhad province (North-East of Iran), and in the north foot of Binalood mountain chains, are encountered big problems in the field of physical development. Especially, in dwelling and equipment parts, because of uneven and sharp slope lands.
Studding on 200 families, in sample villages, has shown that the existing physical difficulties cause the emigration and decreasing the population of valley villages of under consideration and evacuation of some villages. While many of these villages have very good tourist situation, especially from the viewpoint of settling in the margin of crowded and sanctuary place of Mashhad. And the necessary planning can create a suitable situation from the viewpoint of attraction and settling down of village population.
