Abstract :

In the housing supply programs in Iran, only the economic dimension is considered, that is, only the reduction of the economic cost by reducing the square footage. In most cases, less attention has been paid to the quality components of this type of housing, and houses have been built that have not considered the quality needs of users. The result of this problem is that houses have been built in which only the reduction of square footage has been applied without considering the quality. Identifying and applying the quality components of housing design can increase the quality of this type of housing, especially from the people's point of view. Therefore, the aim of the research is to extract the qualitative design components of residential complexes, at least for the people of the Juma neighborhood of Ardabil Mosque (3-7 decile) from the users' point of view. In this research, a descriptive method was used to extract the components first in the literature review, and then the frequency of each component was extracted using content analysis. Then, in the next step, a structured interview based on the components extracted from the literature was compiled and conducted with 19 people consisting of people and experts as a statistical population. After that, using the Foundation's data method, first open coding and then axial coding have been done to obtain the minimum housing quality categories (users' opinions). The findings show that 19 categories and their frequency have been obtained, the three highest ones respectively are the shared space in the neighborhood, considering space for storage and open and semi-open space. Based on the comparison between people's and experts' opinions, the results show that while the people involved have paid more attention to the character of the neighborhood, people pay special attention to the originality and character of the neighborhood to environmental features to reduce energy consumption, i.e. building insulation and the possibility Collecting surface water has also had a special look. In general, it seems that reducing the size of the residential unit provided that it has the quality characteristics desired by the people, such as the originality of the neighborhood, suitable layout for various functions, comfort and convenience that brings peace, is a suitable residential unit in the eyes of the people.
