Abstract :
Background and Objective: Measuring residential satisfaction as one of the indicators of the quality of the residential environment is one of the main topics and of interest to researchers in architecture and urban planning studies. The purpose of this research is to investigate and evaluate the satisfaction of the residents of Mehr housing in terms of architectural quality, according to the indicators of sustainable architecture that lead to the stability and satisfaction of the residents of Mehr housing.
Material and Methodology: The current research method was descriptive-analytical and data collection was done in the form of survey and library studies. The statistical population of the research includes 25394 residents of Mehr Sahand housing, of which 378 people were selected as a sample to distribute the questionnaire using the Cochran sampling method. Face validity was used for validity of questions and Cronbach's alpha was used for reliability. For data analysis, structural equation method with Spss and Amos software was used.
The results showed that according to the second-order factor analysis, the factor loadings of all factors of sustainable architecture quality on the satisfaction level of the residents of Mehr residence are greater than 0.4 and are significant at the 99% probability level. The results of the research showed that the greatest effects were related to physical-functional factors with a factor load (0.75), followed by socio-semantic factors with a factor load (0.69) and structural-spatial quality with a factor load (0.61). and environmental quality with factor load (0.55).
Discussion and conclusion: In the end, it is concluded that four architectural quality factors have been effective in terms of sustainable architecture indicators and have a direct and meaningful relationship with the residents' satisfaction with Mehr housing city Sahand.
