Human, as the product of the village, is the main determinant of the formation of a place and the future development path. Among the significant concerns regarding the villages of Kuhdasht County is the extensive migration of natives. Therefore, in line with addressing the overarching theme of "the role of place in the process of rural development," the problem of this research is posed as "How is the development place in the daily life of villages in the Kuhdasht region?" Indeed, based on the assumption that "place connects human and village through mutual care pathways," the "village" is introduced as the "development place," providing a space for the daily life of human and village to achieve the "achievements" resulting from confronting unique and continuously complex hardships in the form of space. The research aims to elucidate a comprehensive model of the development place in the daily life of villages by addressing the two questions, "How is the built landscape of the village in the Kuhdasht region?" and "How is the lived landscape of the village in the Kuhdasht region?" To achieve compatibility in the "common perceived reality" of the two research questions, there is a need to compare two parallel semantic domains. This means that "descriptions of the region that are the result of observation (present)" are accounted for through thematic analysis, and "descriptions of the region that are the result of lifeworld experiences (non-present)" are accounted for through the hermeneutic phenomenology strategy, and the findings of these two steps are summarized with equal weight. The research findings revealed three dimensions: "performance," "ideology," and "assets" for the first question. In the second question, three experiences—"common birthplace," "common function," and "common assets"—were o obtained from phenomenological interviews. Finally, by comparing the results of these two stages, a model consisting of four dimensions—"place,"," "assets," "social space," and "unction"—was summarized.
