Furthermore, due to the fact that this type of satisfaction is related to all parts of life, it can be considered as the highest level of life satisfaction.

In the theoretical literature of the paper as the main part, the concept of residential satisfaction, its assessment scale, the experts' opinions, etc are reviewed. The effective factors of residential satisfaction are resulted from experts' opinions and these criteria are compiled into a questionnaire which was filled out by local residents. Then the completed questionnaires were analyzed using Multiple Regression Analysis technique using SPSS software. So that qualitative criteria were converted to quantitative types. Finally, some strategies were selected according to the analysis and research findings to improve residential satisfaction. It should be noticed, however, that the guidelines and research findings are specifically for these two neighborhoods and according to Haryhans view, the effective factors of residential satisfaction in every neighborhood are relevant to the characteristics of its residents.
