Determination and Evaluation of Quality Components of Mehr Housing in Terms of Physical Indicators of Housing Using TOPSIS-AHP Method (Case study: Kerman)

The Mehr housing plan was designed to house the lower decks of society in the ninth government. Qualitative-physical dimensions of housing can be investigated from two angles: first, the housing structure as a residential unit, the second is the physical relationship of housing with its residential environment which is a social indicator of the role and place of housing in urban development. Considering the importance of housing and especially Mehr housing, the city of Kerman is investigated and the quality housing components are summarized in order to be used as a model for construction and appraisal of Mehr housing. The purpose of this study is to determine the quality components of Mehr housing in terms of physical characteristics of housing. The question posed in the present study is: which components affect the quality of housing? Based on aim this research is developmental-applied which uses an analytical-descriptive method for data collection. Two models of AHP and TOPSIS have been used for data analysis. Based on their importance, the present study considers six main components in two different categories of "physical and qualitative" alternatives. The components are: housing pattern, housing strength and safety, environmental quality, accessibility, infrastructure, and land use. Analysis of the results indicated that the criterion of the shape and pattern of housing with land-use scale are the most important criteria. Finally, the comparison of the final weight results indicated that the results of qualitative alternative is superior to the other.
