Housing has other objectives such as providing multiple services and providing the needs of people living in that place. When the decision to determine a specified location for the residence, it is important to provide an acceptable level of satisfaction. People are satisfied with their residence time that they meet their needs. People are the most important factors in architecture; therefore designers and architects need to try and work towards providing and promoting the level of satisfaction in residential complexes. In order to investigate the promotion of satisfaction and its influential factors in high - rise residential complexes , support spaces are considered. The research method is descriptive - analytical and based on the applied goal. The method of data collection was library method and for main data of research , field method was considered. The data collection tool is edinterviews with residents of residential complex in chamran campus using questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed by using spss25 software. The results showed that the first priority of supporting space related to service spaces such as the existence of lift and …, after that the existence of garbage dump in the complex, then existence of safe spaces with safety and perfect security for children and existence of shops in order to meet the needs of collection for residents were important.

Satisfaction with housing and residential environment are considered as the key factors of life satisfaction. The relationship between privacy in personal spaces and collective interaction in the spatial organization of residential apartment units is one of the determining factors in assessing the satisfaction of residents. Providing privacy for family members in the physical spaces of the residential unit is the foundation and prerequisite for maintaining privacy and regulating internal relations and communicating with the outside of the residential unit. The research question is, what is the relationship between spaces in different types of spatial organizations and residential apartment units? What impact do the relationships between personal and communal spaces and inter-unit spaces have on the level of resident satisfaction in residential units? And how can this satisfaction be enhanced through design solutions? The main goal of the current research was to enhance awareness for designing more desirableresidential apartment units. Moreover, the other objectives of the study could include (a) gaining a better understanding of the human relationships between elements of the organizational structure and the residential unit space; (b) exploring how to create a balance between personal privacy and communal interaction among residents and guests; and (c) creating acoustic and visual privacy within the interior space of the residential unit and with neighboring units. Data was collected by using questionnaires that were distributed to all participants in the present study. The case study was limited to the typical apartment housing in Amol city, which includes row buildings with an average height of three to six floors, along with spaces such as entrance, staircases, open spaces, and other common structural and facility elements. In these buildings, based on the study of building completion documents registered in the central municipality of Amol, four types of residential units have been identified with the most frequent occurrence of their spatial organization.
The present study carried out in four pahses: the first phase was to obtain detailed maps from the central municipality, which involves researching and categorizing contemporary residential apartment units in Amol from 1380 until now (the period during which apartment housing construction became common in the city). In the second phase, the components of the research were identified and the viewpoints of experts in this field were examined and collected to investigate the impact of research components on the spatial organization of residential units, and also the questionnaire has gone through the validation proceduresIn the third phase, after distributing and collecting the questionnaires, Amos and Friedman tests were performed to analyze and rank the residents' opinions. It should be noted that the analysis of the responses of the sample unit residents was performed in this pahse. And finally, in the fourth phase, by examining the satisfaction level charts, important variables affecting the plan were extracted. The answers to the questions for measuring the level of satisfaction of the residents were set within the range of zero to five with an average of 2.5. Whenever the level of resident satisfaction is below average, the level of satisfaction is lower and above average, the level of satisfaction is higher. The trend of development in residential units in type A with the average of 1.7 indicates a general dissatisfaction with the spatial organization. This amount was slightly improved in type (b) and was closer to the overall average with an average of 2.18.The level of satisfaction in the types of C and D has reached higher improvement, with averages of 2.75 and 3.24, respectively.
The findings of the research indicated that the residents of residential apartment units expressed relative dissatisfaction due to the lack of necessary measures to preserve visual and sound transfer between interior spaces, maintain a proper distance between communal and personal spaces, and have a view of the entrance area and the openness of the facade to the interior spaces. The research results suggest design solutions such as the entrance design, geometry and proportion of the plan, control of sound transmission between residential unit spaces, control of outward views, and creation of useful space for pause and movement in the spaces between the two main parts of the unit.The findings of the present study can be generalized to similar cultures and cities in the northern regions of the country by examining and obtaining dominant samples and the type of spatial organization performance.  The design solutions table of the research can be applied to the cultural and climatic conditions of other regions of the country to develop design guidelines suitable for local cultures and specific environments.

The purpose of this research is to measure the level of citizens' satisfaction with the components of the quality of life in Lowshan city and provide appropriate solutions to improve it. The current research is based on the method, descriptive-analytical and based on the purpose of applied studies. The method of data collection was document-library materials (books, articles and theses) and field observations (questionnaire). The statistical population of the research is made up of all the residents of Lowshan city, and the number of samples was calculated using Cochran's formula to be 373 people. To analyze the data from the questionnaire, simple weighted average tests, one-sample t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used in the SPSS software environment. The results of the research showed that the quality of life in the city of Lowshan has been evaluated at an unfavorable level by the citizens, and in general, the satisfaction level of the citizens is lower than the average (theoretical average = 3). Also, the results of the Pearson correlation coefficient test showed that there is a significant level of high correlation between overall satisfaction with the quality of life and indicators (economic, physical, service, environment, socio-cultural and urban management), There's a high correlation which indicates a positive linear connection between them. Therefore, the highest correlation in Lowshan city is between the quality of urban life and the physical-service variable, as well as between the quality of urban life and the environment, with a similar correlation coefficient of 0.784. This means that with the increase in the quality of the physical-service and environmental environment, the quality of life in this city will also increase.

The social life of city dwellers is strongly influenced by urban life style. This topic can be explored from different aspects. From the main assumptions of such studies it can be referred to a basic principle which can result to a lively and a high-quality life in a safe environment which will result to a vibrant life and increases people's sense of happiness and satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to measure the satisfaction of citizens affected by different dimensions of a quality of life style among the residents of the fifteen districts of Isfahan. The present study is a descriptive-survey type and a questionnaire was applied to collect data. The sample size was calculated using Krejcie-Morgan table collected from 400 people and TOPSIS logic was used to analyze the data. Findings of this study show that among the factors affecting the dimensions of quality of life, district 5 (regions 4,5,6) with an index of 0.938578 is in the first place, district 4 (regions 1,3) with an index of 0.753095 in the second place, district 1 (regions 8,11) with an index of 0.737805 in the third place, district 3 (regions 2,9,13,15) with Index of 0.378396 is in the fourth rank and finally district 2 (regions 7,10,12,14) with index of 0.075759 is in the last rank in terms of quality of life satisfaction.

What is very important in determining the development goal of countries is the study of rural management and its performance in rural planning from the bottom up. Dehyari, as the main organization of rural management, has an important and effective role in achieving sustainable rural development. This development largely depends on the satisfaction of its members. Therefore, no development can take shape without the participation, satisfaction and social trust of the villagers. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to evaluate and analyze the satisfaction of villagers with the performance of rural areas, in terms of descriptive-analytical nature and in terms of practical purpose. Data were collected in two methods field and library. Its statistical population consists of three cities of Azna, Khorramabad and Kuhdasht of Lorestan province. 344 villages were selected based on three indicators: spatial distribution at the city level, Dehyari degree and Dehyari establishment history. Villagers' satisfaction with the performance of villages in the three areas of basic and functional functions, motivational function and service quality (reliability, responsibility, physical dimension, management style and empathy), studied and using Kano model, evaluation of service quality gap and Spss software was analyzed. The results show that the highest satisfaction of the residents of the study area is: reliability, responsibility, physical dimension, management style, motivational function, basic and functional function and its lowest satisfaction, respectively. is the sympathy of the villagers.

One of the most important things in the tourism industry is the ease of travel and choosing an easy route for tourists. Optimal tourist perception causes tourists satisfaction with the environment. Therefore, tourists who have experienced the presence in the environment have a greater sense of satisfaction by enjoying the well-being in the environment. The evaluation of tourist destinations is directly related to the quality of services provided and the needs of tourists in the environment. Tourists expect their needs to be met in the environment, so as a travel strategy, providing the desired quality of services can cause more satisfaction to tourists in the urban space. Urban planning requires attention. The tourism industry, as the second most lucrative industry in the world, plays an important role in the economy and prosperity of cities, and increases satisfaction with how to choose the route to reach attractive points, prevent confusion in wayfinding , how to access services and facilities and meet expectations. Tourists can increase their desire to return to their destination. One of the most important things in the tourism industry is the ease of moving and choosing an easy route for tourists from one point to another. When a tourist is unfamiliar with the environment and enters it for the first time, he tries to find and discover his route, in this case he uses the external information in the environment and finds his route. Therefore, tourists' satisfaction with wayfinding behavior in urban space is influenced by two components of mental-cognitive factors and physical-visual factors. Tourist satisfaction has a psychological dimension that is effective from the experience of the person's presence in the environment and the evaluation of the person's experience in the environment to evaluate the destination and use travel strategies such as travel guides, tourist attractions, maps and tour guides, The security and experiences of the individual from the past and the indicators and socio-economic characteristics. Due to the fact that tourist satisfaction and wayfinding behavior is affected by physical-visual and mental-cognitive factors, so in the direction of tourists in urban space, the tourist receives information from the environment and executes his decision and decision. Among the physical-visual factors affecting the wayfinding process, we can mention the key elements, route guides, tourist attractions, access to facilities and services. Signs are one of the main tools for directing tourists in urban areas. Physical factors and the pattern of the network of passages in the tissue in familiar environments increase tourists' satisfaction with the wayfinding process. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effective factors on increasing the satisfaction of tourists the wayfinding process. The research method is applied in terms of purpose and survey nature and is based on quantitative method. Field observations and a questionnaire were used to collect data. Data analysis was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson test correlation method. The results show that tourists' satisfaction depends on physical-visual and mental-cognitive factors, and tourist wayfinding and determining the position between origin and destination using physical factors.

Rural management in Iran, after many ups and downs, began a new experience with the formation of Islamic councils and the establishment of the Dehyari institution. Now that almost two decades have passed since the beginning of the new model of rural management, Due to the multiplicity and dispersion of villages on the one hand and issues and problems related to equipment, empowerment, economic efficiency of providing services and... On the other hand, Rearranging the current pattern is essential. And in this process, measuring the satisfaction of the villagers as the main stakeholders is important. The present study, which aims to evaluate and analyze the satisfaction of villagers with the performance of rural areas, It is descriptive-analytical in nature and practical in purpose. Research data were collected in two methods field and library.The statistical population of the study includes all cities of Qazvin province. One or two sections of each city have been selected taking into account the indicators of spatial extent and the number of villages with rural areas. In the next, according to the number of villages with rural areas, the target villages were randomly selected. A total of 427 questionnaires from residents of 40 villages in Qazvin province have been completed. Villagers’ satisfaction with the performance of rural management (Dehyari) was analyzed in three dimensions of functional requirements, basic requirements and motivational requirements and in eight components related to these dimensions, using Kano model, service quality gap assessment and SPSS software. The results of the research show that the highest level of satisfaction in the three dimensions mentioned was related to the dimension of performance requirements and then related to the dimension of basic requirements and the dimension of motivational requirements, respectively. Also, among the nine sections studied from the six cities of Qazvin province, the best level of satisfaction with the performance of rural areas is related to the “Dashtiabi” section of “Buin Zahra” city, “Tarom Sofla” section of Qazvin city and “Ziaabad” section of “Takestan” city. The lowest level of villagers’ satisfaction was related to “Beshariyat” section of “Abiek” city and “Ramand” section of “Buin Zahra” city

Abstract Urban furniture is effective in creating value and attractiveness of added tourism spaces, a place for people to attend and a place for citizens' social interactions, vitality, well-being, comfort, strengthening tourism movements, economic development and job creation. The purpose of this study is the quality of urban furniture components (quality of space, correct placement of furniture, safety, beauty and uneven urban structure) and its impact on the development of urban tourism spaces. The applied method is descriptive-analytical. Library and field methods have been used. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed using the opinions of experts in the field of urban planning and tourism and the reliability of the instrument was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha test. The statistical population included citizens and tourists of the region, the number of samples was estimated based on Cochran's formula 280 people, which was completed by simple random sampling among tourists entering the region and citizens. The results obtained from the sample t-test showed that the quality of urban furniture in Zaribar Lake is not very suitable in terms of the overall dimensions of urban furniture. The results of the regression test are multiple (0.655) are dependent changes and the aesthetic variable model of urban furniture with the highest standard coefficient of 0.843 in explaining its dependent variable. Then the quality of space with a coefficient of 0.519, uneven urban structure with a coefficient of 0.318 and correct placement of urban furniture with a standard coefficient of 0.171 are the variables.

Greenway as an underlying element in environmental sustainability has a variety of species and leavers different environmental, physical, tourism-economic, and social effects on the neighborhood and city. The presence of river valleys and greenways in Northern Tehran are important environmental capabilities, which are not mostly supported by the efficient policy-making processes of urban management, and have been ignored in urbanization studies. In the greenway of Nezami Ganjavi Neighborhood, some environmental qualities show no adequate responsiveness based on initial field analyses. In this field, the present study has discussed the relationship between the satisfaction of neighborhood residents with the environmental indicators of greenway and has also estimated the satisfaction rate. This study aimed in investigating types of greenways and their characteristics, and providing efficient suggestions to improve the status of environmental indicators of neighborhood greenway based on measurement of study neighborhood. The method used in this study was the qualitative-quantitative method, and this is applied research in terms of purpose. To analyze the correlation between independent variables and dependent variables, multivariate regression was used in SPSS. The results showed that satisfaction was affected significantly by indicators including the existence of park and recreational green space, clean and pollution-free air in the greenway axis, soothing and non-disturbing sounds, presence of urban animals and birds, and beautiful view at the confidence level of 95%. However, satisfaction was not significantly affected by indicators including clean and pollution-free air in the immediate vicinity, cleanliness of the soil cover and durability, and connection between green zones. According to the obtained adjusted coefficient of determination, 0.75% of changes in satisfaction were associated with the defined indicators and can be estimated. Finally, the study provided suggestions due to the measurement of the existing situation to promote environmental conditions of the greenway.

Traditional architecture were both more efficient and obviated in contrast with the modern architecture for the citizenry who lives in the old neighbourhood because of their design, social structure and other factors. On the other hand, the environment, life style, social concept, establish citizenry belonging to the special neighbourhood, Having belonging to the special place or environment gives citizenry calmness and it will begin during their staying and will get deeper by the time. So, the aim of this research is consendring the effects of belonging in the Dezfoul's old neighbourhoods base on physical and social dimensions(case study: Qaleh  and Rudband neighbourhood) . The research method is descriptive, fundamental research and applied type,first of all, manager's opinions about the effects of belonging were collected during an interview. The factors which have effects on the belonging were recognized and coded base on QDA software, in the following, by using of PLS software and factor analysis method, the similarity of belonging were check base on the information were collected from Two old neighbourhood. Finally, the question was rejected base on the reuths show that effects of factors (natural and physical factors, organization, mental and social factors) are different in citizenries belonging in these two neighbourhood.

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 residentschr('39') 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 methodologychr('39')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 buildingschr('39') 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 spaceschr('39') 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. Residentschr('39') 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.

Lean construction has attracted plenty of attention during the past decade for provision of housing to the lower class. An important issue that has always appealed to large numbers of architecture and urban construction and planning researchers as post-planning assessments is to what extent and in what aspects the constructed condominiums satisfy their inhabitants once completed and utilized. Thus, useful suggestions can be made to decision-makers and planners of such projects for enhancement of the quality of life in the condominiums through identification of their strengths and weaknesses. An example of these lean construction projects is Mehr Housing, designed and implemented to meet the need for housing among the middle and lower classes of the Iranian society. It needs to be investigated, however, how successful the project has been, and to what extent it has satisfied the residents. Given the great diversity in the design of these condominiums in the city of Hamadan (in that some are enclosed, and others are connected to urban areas), Iran, little research has been focused on Mehr Housing. Therefore, the present research investigated three enclosed and unenclosed Mehr condominiums in Hamadan by focusing on the physical and spatial components governing such condominiums. These included the Ghadir, Farhangiyan, and Andishe (Kuy Reza) condominiums. Most global experiences suggest that the more favorable housing conditions that are expected in enclosed condominiums are not observed. This formed the basis of the research, a descriptive-analytical study in terms of the methodology adopted in the literature review and theoretical framework. ANOVA (with the Bonferroni method), independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient analysis, and linear regression were used for data analysis. The results demonstrated that there were significant differences in average satisfaction between the three neighborhoods, with the Madani neighborhood exhibiting the highest average satisfaction, followed by the Beheshti and Andishe neighborhoods, in that order. A prioritization of the physical and spatial components effective on residential satisfaction in the three condominiums also suggested that environmental health was highly effective in enclosed condominiums, accompanied by amenities, additional facilities, and flexibility. Furthermore, the results obtained from the investigation of the relationships between satisfaction with architectural components and individual, demographic, and residential components demonstrated that there were no significant relationships in any of the three neighborhoods between satisfaction on the one hand and age, gender, or academic degree on the other. However, the neighborhood factor (which distinguished enclosed and unenclosed neighborhoods) exhibited significance, where total satisfaction was generally higher in enclosed condominium residents, confirming the main hypothesis of the research.

When it comes to objective-subjective issues, such as physical changes, it seems difficult to measure satisfaction through direct questions and quantitative methods. Question of the present study is to explain the methodological challenges of evaluating residents’ experience of the severity of physical changes based on the satisfaction criterion. The research method is content analysis, which is accompanied by a logical argument and inferential model, obtained from the study of previous models, in the first phase of the research. Accordingly, residents’ motivations and individual characteristics, dynamic nature of adaptation and satisfaction over time and finally, lack of contextual framework are some of the challenges in this field, and indicators such as individual characteristics, level of adaptation, emotional and cognitive assessment that leads to mental perception, have a cyclical relationship with each other over time. In the second phase of the research, a quantitative questionnaire is developed through extracting indicators from the study context, and reviewed by five experts using formal content method, in order to validate the proposed framework. Then, the snowball sampling method was applied to select 34 residents of both men and women with more than 25 years residency in Tusca neighborhood, as a target neighborhood, and Ahu neighborhood, as a control neighborhood in Mahmudabad city.  In Tusca neighborhood, the indicators are extracted based on a semi-structured questionnaire. The results obtained from both neighborhoods indicate the validity of the questionnaire and its preparation process. The dependency of answers on residence place allows to achieve more precise results of residents’ satisfaction with physical changes. Therefore, attention to the cognitive-perceptual experience of residents in a cyclical process and using a method based on qualitative-evaluative exploratory analyses, makes it possible to obtain real criteria for residents’ satisfaction with the severity of changes

Motivation is an important topic of higher education and effective factors in increasing performance. With this incentive, people follow the necessary mobility for the successful completion of a task, reaching the goal or achieving a certain degree of suitability in their work. Strengthening the motivation for progress creates energy and directs the needs of individuals towards specific goals. According to the nature of architecture science and its physical interventions in the environment, the position of the environment and external stimuli has more closely with the scope and architectural measures, which is an effective factor in motivation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of environmental architectural variables related to the satisfaction of housing in student dormitory in predicting the progress motivation of dormitory students in the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili in 2018-2019 academic year. After setting up and validation of the research questionnaires, the results of this study were broadcast in the statistical population and before that, the necessary coordination with the Office of dormitories of University of Mohaghegh Ardabili and the necessary permissions for distributing the questionnaire were obtained among dormitory students. Then, with the presence of antegrade and expressing the objectives of the research, while observing the ethical standards, the confidentiality of information and being optional completed the questionnaire was remembered. The total of 300 questionnaires were recorded between volunteer students, 268 complete questionnaires and entered into the SPSS 22 software. Further findings and results of software analysis are provided. Results showed that satisfaction of environmental factors including physical, social and managerial factors has a significant relationship with the motivation of students ' progress. Among the physical components, physical characteristics of the building (p<0/000, r=0/19), facilities and physical services (p<0/020, r=0/12), and social factors, personalization and privacy (p<0/001, r=0/23), Social Security (p<0/04, r=0/10), spatial belonging and Attachment (p<0/001, r=0/15), and managerial factors (p<0/001, r=0/22), There was a positive and significant relationship with achievement motivation. The results of multiple regression showed that the predictive variables of 41% of the variance of students ' achievement. Due to the nature of architecture and its physical interventions in a built environment, it is possible to improve the satisfaction of dormitory spaces because attention to environmental factors can enhance the motivation of progress in young students. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between social factors (social density in space, personalization and privacy, societal security, spatial belonging and attachment, participation and community socialization) with the motivation of students residing in dormitory. In fact, social factors are effective in improving motivation through housing students ' satisfaction. In other words, students who have more satisfaction with the social characteristics of their dormitory have also had more motivation. The results also showed that dormitory management factors have a significant relationship with achievement motivation in students. Therefore, we conclude that the planning and services provided by the dormitory managers has an important role in increasing the satisfaction and motivation of students residing in the dormitory.

Today, universities play a key role in the development and excellence of the society, meaning that many societies are taking steps to elevate the quality and quantity of higher education institutions. An important issue for the development of these centers is the importance of amenities and, above all, the provision of accommodation for students (dormitories). Therefore, it seems that evaluating residents’ satisfaction in dormitory spaces with regard to spatial configuration can be useful in improving the quality of life for students. Therefore, this research explains a method for determining the effect of spatial configuration of student dormitories on students’ spatial preferences and their satisfaction. Assessment of student satisfaction in dormitory spaces can be useful in improving the quality of students’ life environment. Hence, many studies have been done to assess satisfaction. One of the most effective indicators of satisfaction is the physical environment in which the spatial configuration is a main component of the physical environment. The syntax of space can be divided into three concepts: convex space, field of view, and axial line. These concepts are linear when it comes to research on motion, and when the subject of research is social interactions. Convex spaces are visible areas when the subject of the study is complex patterns of behavior. On the other hand, satisfaction from the built environment, especially when the length of stay is prolonged, is very important. Student dormitories are also a place where students stay for a long time, considering the conditions of the course. Therefore, their satisfaction with the temporary environment of their life is important. For this reason, many researchers have researched the students’ satisfaction with the dormitory space, which will be discussed further. The purpose of this article is to explain a method for determining the effect of spatial configuration of student dormitories on students’ space preferences and their satisfaction. In this study, two blocks of dormitory, which differ in terms of spatial configurations, were selected. Then, these two blocks were simulated in the space syntax software, based on the shape of the spatial arrangement and its distinction from the configuration point of view. In the next step, a series of spatial layout indicators that could be effective on students’ spatial desirability were evaluated. Subsequently, to find the effect of the spatial configuration of the dormitory on the spatial desirability and satisfaction of the students, two blocks were analyzed by the space syntax through field research and questionnaire (so that the questions directly influenced the effects of the syntax of space on the students’ spatial desirability Measure). Finally, the similarity and dissimilarity of the results show the research hypothesis that the spatial configuration of student dormitories is adapted to the students’ spatial preferences. To achieve this, in the first stage, two types of dormitory blocks (Shahid Beheshti Girls’ Dormitory) that were different from the spatial configuration (Block 5, Linear Shape and Block 6, Apartment) were first selected. Then, two blocks in terms of spatial configuration were evaluated by UCL Depth map space software for specifications, depth, field of view and compaction of the field of view. In the next step and the second stage, according to the characteristics, a questionnaire (Block 5, Linear, 160 questionnaires and 6 blocks, residential, 65 questionnaires) was prepared for the dormitory and then evaluated furtherly. At the end, in order to see the compatibility, the results of the two stages were compared and showed that there is a compatibility between the spatial configuration of the student dormitories and the students’ spatial preferences and their satisfaction. According to the above points, the proposed methodology has been confirmed in some way to understand the spatial configuration and spatial preferences of students in the dormitory, and its compatibility has been proved with the main purpose of this research. The results of this study showed that three factors of depth, access (physical and visual) and spatial hierarchy influenced the spatial configuration of dormitories. The results reveal that living in dormitories is more desirable for students than linear dormitories. In the next stage, this study suggests that the relationship between the personal and personality characteristics of students in their process of understanding the spatial layout of student dormitories in the form of satisfaction concepts can be considered as an independent research in the continuation of this paper.

Satisfaction with the residential environment is an important factor for attaining life satisfaction. One of the most important measures of the Iranian state is the provision of housing for low and middle income classes in cities through the Mehr Housing Project. It seems that the policy behind this project paid particular attention to quantitative aspects of housing rather than its social and economic characteristics. The Mehr Housing Project is the biggest national housing plan which needs to be studied in terms of its outcomes due to its broad and new character in Iran. The present research aims to investigate and compare the satisfaction level of the residents of the state-initiated andself-owned Mehr houses in Amol.

 The research methodology was based on descriptive and analytical approaches and the required data was collected via field survey and secondary documents. The number of samples was determined using Cochran formula to be 253. Due to data abnormality, nonparametric tests were applied to analyze the residents’ satisfaction. Also, the binomial test was used to investigate and identify the satisfaction level with both state-initiated and self-owned Mehr houses. The Mann-Whitney U test was applied to compare the satisfaction level between state-initiated and self-owned Mehr housing project. Finally, Friedman’s test was used to rank the satisfaction level of residents. Amol state Mehr housing, with 546 households, is located in Hezarsangar Avenue, Amol, Iran.These complexes were constructed by 4 different cooperative companies. In addition, there are 3 other self-owned Mehr housing complexes, includeing the Paniz complex with 64 units and Pahlevanzadeh complex with 64 units, both located on the Taaleb-e Amoli avenue, and Royal-Roz complex with 182 units located on the Mirzahashem-e Amoli boulevard. The socio-economic condition, landscape and access in the self-owned Mehr housing is better than that in the state Mehr hosing.Cochran’s method was used to determine the sample size. Eventually, 253 households(153 households from the state Mehr hosing and 100 households from self-owned Mehr housing)were interviewed. Due to data abnormality, nonparametric tests were used to analyze the residents’ satisfaction. The applied methods include the binomial, Mann-Whitney and Friedman tests.

In this article, we tried to evaluate the objective and subjective factors that affect residents’ satisfaction with the state and self-owned Mehr hosing. The results show that the satisfaction level is low in all the housing components, the minimum satisfaction level being associated with the facilities, visibility and landscape. In Mehrself-owned housing, a dissatisfaction is observed with the components of facilities, visibility and landscape. As for the other components, given that the significance level was 0.05, the satisfaction or dissatisfaction level with any of the components was not significant. However, the degree of satisfaction with Mehr self-owned housing is relatively higher than that of the state.According to the results, Mehr housing complexes do not meet the expectations of residents. It can thus be argued that certain quantitative aspects along with the apperance of the houses have been prioritized in planning the construction and implementation of the Mehr housing project. The results are consistent with previous research results for mostcomponents. As a result, neglecting the quality, needs and satisfaction of residents has led to dissatisfaction with Mehr housing project. Therefore, managers and planners need to review the objectives and receive feedback from residents.
 

 
In providing housing for low-income groups, quality improvement, particularly in the area of the quality of physical space, the provision of educational, health and commercial services, the provision of sports equipment, playgrounds and greenery, the reinforcement of public transport and landscaping are necessary and effective on the satisfaction of residents. It is thus suggested to develop some strategies to achieve the above objectives for the Mehr housing complexes in Amol.
The culture-led urban regeneration and cultural tourism are two sides of a coin in the renovation of valuable urban areas. The first is a comprehensive process for saving the deteriorated urban areas of the city from the destruction of physic and activity, and the latter is the most effective way of promoting people’s participation, culture and art and mobilizing social and cultural forces for old urban areas.  Culture-led urban regeneration is one of the most recent approaches to sustainable urban regeneration, which, after many years of experience, has proved its legitimacy not only as a theoretical approach, but also as a practical strategy for the modernization and improvement of the old neighborhoods. The contribution of the cultural and human heritage of valuable neighbors to the process of regeneration can be realized because the local economy and related businesses would be supported through tourism development and tourists’ interest in such neighborhoods. Therefore, the culture-led urban regeneration through tourism development can be considered as one of the most promising solutions for the sustainable regeneration of old towns.When tourism is considered as way of rehabilitation of the underlying culture, culture-based tourism is clearly intended. Cultural tourism is defined as a type of tourism whose main purpose is to spread the horizons of knowledge through the discovery of artistic heritage or architecture of a land. This article investigates the interaction of the two in the framework of strategic planning of cultural tourism development in the old fabric of Rasht, which covers the Zahedan and Sagharisazan neighborhoods. The research method is descriptive-analytic, using a combination of qualitative and quantitative tools, including a questionnaire, for data collection. The internal and external factors are evaluated through a panel of 30 local experts, including experts from the Municipality and Cultural Heritage and Tourism Department. The sampling method was snowball sampling due to the uncertainty of the population.The results show that, despite having its own cultural resources, the old fabric of Rasht has not been able to use local resources due to the weakness of the cultural tourism infrastructure and the lack of creativity in the use of art and culture in the process of culture-led urban regeneration.Prioritized strategies, executive policies and action plans were developed for mobilizing cultural and artistic sources in developing cultural tourism while actively protecting cultural heritage and identity simultaneously. Creating new and different tourist attractions through reviving ritual traditions, improving historic buildings by planning attractive activities for tourists and pedestrinization of Bazar-Khahar-e- Imam –Zarjub are among the most prioritized strategies designed for cultural-led urban regeneration through urban tourism in the old fabric of Rasht. Besides, the results of this article show that the plan for tourism development in the Iranian historical neighborhoods should be a long-term plan that prioritizes the provision of infrastructure and changes in short-term views towards urban management

Different preferences of people related to the selection of favorite home are affected by type of needs and amount of supplement of them in their desired home. Now, if the environment of a house is organized that can be supply some of the needs of its inhabitants, they feel satisfied and their intentions are increased for staying in it. While on the contrary, if the person is not satisfied with the environment in which he/she resides eventually it leads to leaving that place. So it seems that, there is a mutual relationship between the type of residential preferences of individuals and their degree of satisfaction with their living environment. It means, by knowing the factors that can increase satisfaction of a residential environment one can find things that affected on people selection to choose a place to live in. On the one hand, because the dominant pattern of living in contemporary cities in our country is the apartment pattern and on the other hand, because the place of residence of a human is not limited to the framework home in which it resides. Therefore, in this research, the analysis of preferences of individuals in the three scales of home, building and neighborhood was studied. On the other hand, given that tenants, due to their livelihood, constantly face the issue of choosing housing and preferring one to another, therefore, these individuals were selected as the target community in this research. Research spatial domain, is the city of Mashhad and the statistical population of the study was estimated 384 people that they were randomly selected from residents of all neighborhoods of the city. Data was collected through a questionnaire consisting of open and closed questions. Then data were analyzed by SPSS Software. In data analysis, F-test and Freedman test were used. The obtained results indicated that, in the three investigated scales the residential preferences of the people are as follows: Choosing the neighborhood in the first priority, selecting the home and its characteristics in the second priority, and finally selecting the building in the third priority. Moreover, among the indicators related to the above levels, indicator of spatial characteristics in relation to home, Security indicator in relation to building, city accessibility and position indicator in scale neighborhood are at the highest level of importance in ranking the preferences of individuals relative to their different scale of residence.

Unlike most modern fabrics, traditional fabrics due to their design meet many psychological and social needs of the residents and respond better than today’s fabrics. On the other hand, environment and social activities play an important role in shaping the social concepts and the sense of belonging to residents. Sense of belonging can be spread over time and depth. Individual and collective values effect on the quality of sense of belonging and help to identity the resident’s sense of belonging to the environment and community as well as effect as a process on mental health of each community. Ziarat village the sample of this study is located next to the mountains at the south of Gorgan. The form of rural houses and the sense of security in the living spaces of this village are remarkable, but this village has lost its true image and is approaching irregular urban areas and considerable changes in its mental images. The mental imagination of the
village is usually wooden houses and wooden windows. The instruction and sustainability of the village were in line with the suitable environment, intimacy and harmony with nature, while unpleasant apartments have no coordination with the village architecture. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between sense of belonging and social characteristics of men and women in rural areas. Ziarat, a historical village in Golestan was selected as a suitable case for the measurement of variables. One of themain objectives of this research is to pay attention to the fact that in order to create sense of belonging in individuals, one should pay particular attention to social behaviors andactivities and the participation of people in the neighborhood. Social support is also based on the sense of responsibility of local residents and their participation in social activities. According to the research goals, it can be assumed that measuring social indicators that affect villagers’ sense of belonging, is helpful to improve the participation of people in society, their social support and mental health.On the other hand, the involvement can mediate the relationship between social support and sense of belonging. Moreover, the mental health variable has a mediating role between social support and the sense of
belonging (mediating variable). Sense of belonging as a dependent variable is influenced directly by the physical, individual and social factors and their effects must be controlled. Factors that affect physical activity include fear of crime, quality of housing, housing density, and individual factors such as length of residence, marital status, gender and age. In this regard, the independent variable of social support can be referred from the effects of social indicators on sense of belonging. It should also examine social indicators related to the aspects of social participation and support with involvement in society and within the group in order to measure its consequences on sense of belonging. By the review of existing theories, various variables such as community involvement, participation in social activities, loneliness, satisfaction, value and so on were investigated. With control of the other non-social variables and setting up a questionnaire with Likert scale and check the sample size in (n=322) on the basis of stratified method, the impact of social support on the sense of belonging was measured. To achieve this objective, analytical/ descriptive correlation as well as hierarchical regression were used. In fact, through using the hierarchical regression method, the effects of control variables on the dependent variable were controlled. Through data analysis, the results showed that social support and mental health have a positive impact on people’s sense of belonging. Also, society involvement moderates the impact of social support on resident’s sense of belonging. The findings of the data analysis show that the hypothesis of the effect of social indicators on sense of belonging helps to improve the participation of people in society and mental health, and the involvement as a second independent variable is significant. But the “effect of the mental health as a mediator variable” is not significant. Since the current study has measured social indicators on sense of belonging, this cross-sectional study has not measured the variables such as income level, education, housing density, so it is suggested that in subsequent studies. Individuals and organizations must consider the influence of different dimensions of these variables on sense of belonging, and also this study has relied on individual reports in response to variables that make them aware of the actual opinions of residents and can be the basis of a more comprehensive research in future studies.

The thought, wisdom and creativity of the driving force on micro - scale and macro - scale activities for human and communities - and make sense of human activity, and it becomes important that the citizens choose or take advantage of their needs.
