In order to get an understanding of the rural housing (RH) logic, a multi and interdisciplinary approach is essential. It's necessary to incorporate the farming activities and the ecosystems associated to such actions. Also, it’s important to considerate the intra-familiar relationships and the ones with other external similar families. The social relations between the families in a rural community configure the social tissue or the community culture. The bibliographic analysis allowed the identification of theoretical and empirical contributions. Those reflect the research progress on several disciplines: Basic science (concepts, definitions and classifications) as well to applied contributions (manly oriented to housing improvement). These contributions are conceptually associated with the quality of live and sustainability. The main conclusion was a multidisciplinary model of quality of life for the RH. The model presents the disciplines that study RH and the research issues. Those are associated to three levels of the Ecology of Human Development (Bonfenbrenner, 2002). The model shows the horizontal relationships between similar disciplines, and research issues, the vertical relations of progressive hierarchies between the levels of the human development ecology. The different combinations between these relations could support rural housing improvement programs, as well the territorial planning.
