The statistical population of the research includes the two districts of Ghori Qala and Mansour Aghaei, which has 9 villages, and the sample size of 285 people was determined using Cochran's formula. The results of the research show that among the indicators of extra-local resilience of rural settlements against drought, the highest average score of the indicators is related to Bezgore village and the lowest is related to Qalehgah village. Also, the villages of this village were ranked in three levels: favorable, average, and unfavorable..dentifying the overall level of Translocal resilience to drought in rural areas, in order to good governance of Rural is special importance, Because that by identifying and ranking of Translocal resilience in rural areas, adopt appropriate management strategies to reduce the damage caused by drought is possible. The general purpose of this research is to evaluate the translocal resilience of rural settlements in Shahu district of Ravansar city in facing drought.
