Abstract: Abstract Although definitions of livability are vary from one community to another one but livability as a concept can be defined according to the context in which it is to be very wide or narrow. More livable settlements creates a greater sense of community and ownership and migration rates are lower in such settlements. Peri-urban villages due to the special position of proximity to urban areas has a set of spatial features. This feature makes them different and exceptional from other rural areas and suburbs. In this study, we have chosen the villages that are located on the periphery of large cities with big population size. Each village have different distance from Tehran metropolitan. For this reason they have various effects from Tehran metropolis and the dynamics and transformations of Tehran has a great impact on them. The main purpose of this work is analysis and explanation of spatial factors in local and regional scales on livability of peri urban villages in Varamin County. The results showed that there are significant relationship between spatial factors and livability indicators in selected villages.
