Abstract :
This survey is conducted with the purpose of studying factors effective in vitality of residential complexes. This is an important subject because through recognition of the reciprocal relation between human being and environment -as far as vitality is concerned- various attitudes and approaches can be recognized and on the other hand, for the purpose of explaining the concept of vitality in the domain of architecture, we can define some physical and conceptual criteria and indicators in residential complexes which allow improvement of mental welfare and social stability. This survey is a fundamental research conducted based on inferential method, content and comparative method. Data were collected through documentary method and through conducting field study in Azadegan, Lakan and Golsar Residential Complexes of Rasht and were studied through analytical-Survey Method. Data collection tools included questionnaire and photos. The theoretical framework of this research was based on the psychology of vitality and happiness-oriented approach and puts emphasis on understanding the issue and merging it with the theory of perception which is based on final result of perception of space and also based on Gibson’s information theory in the domain of perceiving space elements and factors. The data analysis reveals that the three indicators of vitality in residential complexes include mental, physical and service indicators that taking the standards of these three indicators and the degree of their influence and priority into account can be considered in designing alternatives.
