Researching and recognizing the beliefs, convictions, environmental knowledge, techniques and traditional methods of each community allows us to know their interests. The purpose of this study is to document the native architecture of the inhabitants of Bahar city in order to record some parts of its unwritten history in addition to introducing it. This research has been done through observation, interview and participation. Shahr-e Bahar is located in the northwest of Hamadan and its inhabitants are from Baharloo tribe and they speak Turkish. The Baharlus came to this place from Central Anatolia in the 12th century and built the Bahar Fortress in the 13th century. Bahar Castle was destroyed by the Mongols in 1257. Therefore, some of the Baharlus came to the Bahar plain at least eight hundred years ago, and some of the tribes have remained in the Anatolian region. Bahar passed away and at the beginning of its formation, it was a village-castle. Gradually, with the development of the city, the first houses were built on the south side of the castle and near the qanats (aqueducts). There is now a castle neighborhood in the north of the city. The location of Bahar city in the northern part of Alvand Mountains has caused them to enjoy lush and productive ranges as well as temperate climate that tend to be cold and dry. By looking at the type of materials, the method of construction and the type of exploitation of spaces, we can understand the connection between man and nature. Also, the impact of livelihood and economy on the structure of the building and the function of the interior spaces of the houses is quite obvious. In compiling this article, it was necessary to translate local words and transliterate each word for careful reading. According to the results of this study, the indigenous residential spaces of Bahar have been used only for humans and animals and less attention has been paid to the aesthetic aspects inside and outside the building. In this study, although most of the author's attention is on the anthropological perspective along with observations, interviews and participatory field studies, historical points have been made to clarify the issue.
