Abstract :
Housing, as the primary urban use, shapes the spatial system and urban physical form at the neighborhood level. Planning for physical system and quality of living spaces requires attention to housing design. Understanding the role of housing design rules and regulations in form of Practical-developmental model has provided necessary background for this research. The research method is descriptive-analytical. Data is collected in a combined (qualitative and quantitative) manner. Among the housing design rules and regulations, 11 regulations were selected by reviewing the content of documents and library studies, and 33 requirements were compiled after interviews with experts. Using the fuzzy Delphi method, 19 requirements out of 10 regulations Were approved after two rounds of repetition. Structural-Interpretive Modeling (ISM) method has been used to explain the model. To form Delphi and ISM team, 10 experts in field of housing design have been selected by purposive sampling. Based on analysis of findings, model consists of three levels. In the first level, there is the Lot Coverage rule (R1), which is the most effective rule. According to MicMac analysis, Lot Coverage (R1), height of building and unit (R5) and parking ramp (R6) regulations are located in independent area, while the patio (R4) regulation is located in the linkage area. They have the highest penetration power and the lowest dependence of other regulations. The results show that explained rules and regulations are effective in organizing living spaces and urban Physical system. Therefore, they should receive more attention in urban planning.
