During the twentieth century, urbanization, which was a product of the industrial revolution, became a global process and increasingly spread to developing countries. In the past few decades, the horizontal expansion of cities has become a global problem, especially in metropolitan areas. With the physical expansion of cities (especially in the horizontal direction), villages around cities have distanced themselves from their traditional functions and changed to meet the needs of the population. Therefore, firstly, the functional spaces and secondly, the residential texture of the village changed their identity in favor of the urban texture. This factor led to the integration of rural nuclei into the urban texture and the consumption of vital space in the village and the loss of the agricultural landscape of the village, and the village was deprived of its inherent and vital function and was isolated. The phenomenon of villages integrated into the city, which in some countries is referred to as urban villages, is the result of rapid urbanization and the rapid expansion of cities. Since the spatial consequences of rural integration in the city are often unplanned, it has resulted in various consequences in environmental, physical, economic and social dimensions. The present study, analyzing the spatial consequences of rural integration in the city of Bojnourd, has considered the village of Malekesh within the framework of a systemic approach to the confrontation of two urban and rural settlement systems. In conducting the present study, statistical-spatial analyses have been used. In this regard, data related to the indicators used in the area of ​​rural texture and their surrounding modern urban texture were spatially integrated. The statistical-spatial analysis used also included the t-test, Pearson correlation and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, local Moran and hot and cold spots. Based on the results of the study, the physical-spatial consequences of the integration of Malekesh village into the city of Bojnourd have been revealed at two levels: the impact of the agricultural and garden morphology of that village on the invasive texture of the city and the confrontation of the physical texture of the village core and their surrounding urban texture. In addition to affecting the identification of the urban invasive texture, rural cores have become irregular and sometimes impenetrable due to the unplanned expansion of the city and the organic formation of the urban texture influenced by the divisions and spatial structure of garden and agricultural morphologies. The impenetrability of the texture of Bojnourd city in the areas of integration also, considering the relatively high population rate and building density of Bojnourd city, in addition to creating traffic problems, can pose many problems for relief in the textures in question in times of potential crisis. Also, the confrontation of urban and rural textures has led to the formation of heterogeneous centers and physical-spatial imbalance in the village and the city of Bojnourd. Based on the results of the cold and hot spots and Moran's spatial autocorrelation index, physical dimension factors have had the greatest impact on the integration of Malekesh village into Bojnourd city. In addition, due to its favorable environmental and ecological values, Malekesh village has also been of interest to the middle to upper and affluent classes. As a result, it can be said that the increase in population and construction and the continuation of the current trend in Bojnourd city, especially Malekesh village, irregular and organic textures, in addition to affecting current problems and increasing traffic volume, also causes the vulnerability of Malekesh village to be intensified due to the impenetrability of the village in times of possible natural disasters. The analysis of the spatial consequences of the integration of Malekesh village and the surrounding urban fabric was also carried out using the multivariate regression spot method and using ten indicators whose significance (based on the T test) was confirmed in the territory of the integrated rural nuclei and their surrounding urban fabric at the 95% level. Considering the calculated coefficients of multiple regression and Moran's spatial autocorrelation model, the impenetrability index played the greatest role in explaining the imbalance of the two studied textures. In the following ranks, the residential building occupancy level index, occupancy ratio, fine-grained ratio, ratio of low-quality and dilapidated buildings, and gross population density play the greatest role in expressing the imbalance, heterogeneity, and conflict between the rural core integrated into the urban fabric. Based on the results of the analysis of the spatial consequences of the integration of Malekesh village into the physical fabric of Bojnourd city, it is considered the center of physical-spatial heterogeneity in this city. The study showed that the most important spatial consequences that have caused the integration of Malekesh village into Bojnourd city are:

1- Migration and rapid population growth 2- Increase in the area of ​​the approved master plan 3- Transfer of state lands 4- Differences in lands in different parts of the city 5- Mehr housing policy 6- Deterioration of the inner core of the city and the reduction of the population of the central part in favor of the surrounding fabrics
