The layout of Benis is centralized; the village is surrounded by nearby mountains, which supply a stream that feeds into a local
aqueduct. The aqueduct waters local gardens and greenery. There is a
mosque,
public bath, and various shops located around the village square. A main asphalt road leads south out of the village into the rest of
Shabestar County. During the summer, the population of Benis increases significantly.
Agriculture has been a local industry in Benis for many years, and continues to grow. In the 19th century, most migrations from the village were to foreign cities such as
Istanbul,
Baku, and
Tbilisi. After the
Russian Revolution, more immigration took place from Benis across the country and into cities such as
Abadan,
Ahvaz and
Tehran. Many workers are chiefly active in the businesses of
confectionery production and the processing of
paper. ==See also==
