Abstract: (3548 Views)
The present study examines the design elements in promoting the quality of life by believing that every architectural work fosters the quality of life. In this research, the concept of quality investigated by measuring the level of residents' satisfaction in the residential complexes of three new towns around Tehran (Andisheh, Pardis, Parand). This study uses the post-residential assessment technique. This technique is a systematic study on how residents react to their living space when they live. This methodology's results are used to properly regulate the design and management of buildings and create optimal future design developments. This method leads to the development of " Design Quality Indicators" (DQI), a tool for evaluating proposed and constructed buildings' design quality. The research model is based on the obtained indicators, and the questionnaire adjusted according to the model. In the design of the questionnaire, the Likert scale was used. The research method is using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) technique and AMOS software. The results show that residents are relatively satisfied with objective indicators of housing design that related to the plan layout and function of spaces. The most satisfaction relates to the location and lighting of living rooms and bedrooms, and most dissatisfaction relates to the kitchen area. Regarding the objective indicators of neighborhood design (blocks), the most satisfaction is about communication and common spaces' dimensions and location. The most dissatisfaction is about landscape design, such as green space and how to access parking lots. In subjective indicators, the highest satisfaction is with safety. Residents' social relations are weak, and the majority of residents do not recommend living in these complexes to their relatives and have no sense of belonging to space.
