The research method is applied research. And in terms of the method of descriptive-analytical. In order to collect the desired information, two methods of library-documentary and field methods have been used in conducting research. In the field studies section, by harvesting all the houses in the village, while carefully examining and planning each house, the required information is collected and the necessary maps are drawn by the author. Then, by analyzing and categorizing the type of plans, the typology pattern and local architectural features in the houses of the village in question have been examined. The tools used in the field method include: physical harvest form, measuring instruments, GPS device to record geographical coordinate information, and a camera.
Results and discussion
Field and archaeological studies conducted in the village of Seifabad Balai (old) and the surrounding area, traces and remains of habitation belonging to five historical periods, including: 1- The first and second millennium BC, 2- Sassanid period 3- Early Islamic period, 4- Qajar period and 5- First and second Pahlavi period have been observed and identified. Over the years, various natural and human factors have caused the erosion and destruction of buildings and the physical fabric of the village, but what has accelerated the destruction of these houses has been the human factor. The results of field studies related to the type of materials used in buildings in the village show that during the Qajar and the first Pahlavi period, houses were mostly made of brick or china with a wooden or mud roof. In the construction of village houses, arched structures have been used on the roof. In field surveys of village houses, 3 samples of different arches have been identified. The most common belongs to the arch called the truncated arch. In expert studies of village houses, the results indicate that all houses have many ledges in their three walls and only the entrance wall to the inside of the house did not have ledges. It also shows that in most village houses there is a heater and a preheater. In relation to village house plans, the results show that village house plans are generally rectangular or L-shaped. According to studies and interviews conducted with residents and elderly people of the village, the relocation of residents from the village began in 1978 and during the period of 5 years the village has become uninhabited. Residents and past residents of Seifabad Balai (old) village have stated various reasons such as lack of space, distance from the Kazerun-Baladeh-Farashband communication road and the problem of water shortage as the reason for their relocation. But the most important and main reason for moving the villagers to a new place can be pointed to the construction of the road.
