Today, because of widespread changes in urban construction, less attention is paid to the relationships between people in the community. Still, in the traditional contexts of cities, the amount of neighborhood relations is higher due to the type of neighborhood architectural patterns used in traditional contexts. This research aims to present architectural body patterns, which, by recognizing and analyzing the physical areas of the neighborhood, along with the typology of physical patterns, introduces architectural tools and principles in this architecture, and its purpose is to introduce these patterns in the historical context of Dezful city. The research method, from the perspective of knowledge in the theoretical interpretive or constructional model, is structuralism, from the standpoint of method of reasoning is comparative, from the perspective of the type of data is quantitative (mixed) and qualitative, from the perspective of the type of results is descriptive-analytical and from the perspective of approach is historical-interpretive that is analyzed via collection of library data (documents) and map reading tools, note taking and document reading. By this method, the samples of each period are first described and then analyzed and examined, and the features and existing patterns of each course have been presented. The results of the research reveal that using architectural tools such as changing floor materials, long and short passage walls, changes in light and shadow, roofing alleys and passages, creating a difference in level, and changing proportions and decorations has shaped the three basic neighborhood patterns for semi-urban areas in the historical context, which includes patterns, sabat, entrance, Darband (dead-end alleys). Issues like security, privacy, secrecy, climatic and functional comfort, and people's love have increased people's presence in these fields. These positive points in the architecture of the historical context have caused a close relationship between neighbors, which is called neighborhood architecture.
