The rural guidance plan (also known as the Hadi plan) is considered a plan to change the physical structure of villages and is a part of the rural development process. Its preparation and implementation in the framework of the planning system include some criteria and regulations that affect the villages’ forms, particularly the value of land. The land price in the villages has been affected by the legal recognition of rural land and the necessity of such construction. As a result, the village has faced many changes and developments as a capital commodity due to guiding governmental organizations with development-centered policies. The government's centralization of rural guidance plans and the functional and linear perspective of the formulation of this centrality have homogenized most plans and prevented public participation in development plans. Consequently, numerous problems have arisen from the planning step to the action phase of the plans. It seems that the development plans in action have not been fulfilled because of the inability to understand and identify the environmental features and territorial values of the village in the plan formulation phase. The realization of the physical development plans of the village (rural guidance plans) requires accurate knowledge about the place and consideration of landscape layers in the planning process. It also requires understanding the description of spatial planning documents’ formulation under the title of reading landscape layers. This process not only contributes to discovering landscape layers with the help of landscape experts and the participation of the local community but also reveals the territorial values after being assessed. In so doing, the rural guidance plan and the legal recognition of rural land will be based on participation-based development and the value of villagers’ cultural approaches. This process would result in preparing a contextualized plan that ensures sustainable development in the village.
