Housing satisfaction can be considered as one of the most important and complex issues in the field of housing that has a variety of components. This concept is also divided into different dimensions by different researchers as one of the most important subjective aspects of quality of life. Physical factors of housing are one of the constituents of residents' quality of life and residential satisfaction. One of the most prominent features of physical factors is the dimensions and sizes of residential units, which due to the increase in housing density and consequently the reduction of residential infrastructure under consideration. Another manifestation of satisfaction with residence is the desire to stay longer, which has been one of the key determinants of satisfaction in various studies. Accordingly, based on the literature on the subject, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of dimensions of contemporary housing interiors on residents 'satisfaction and consequently residents' residence. The main approach of quantitative research is surveying in three sections, dimensions of housing spaces, residential satisfaction and desire to stay more with the statistical population of contemporary dwellers. Contemporary Housing Pattern Under the survey, the most common housing pattern in large cities, namely conventional residential housing with a limited number of units, is below 10 units in Isfahan. The control variables of the study are housing type and length of stay; That said, the type of housing is intended to be a 10-unit apartment and a residence of more than one year. According to Clinger's sample size, 250 variables were considered as 5 variables. Finally, the final sample size was 270. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by Crombach's alpha technique and content validity based on expert opinion. Finally, based on the conceptual model defined throughout the research background, the structural model between dimensions of indoor spaces, residential satisfaction and desire for residence was further elucidated and the relationships were evaluated based on the results of the survey, based on the software.
