Abstract :

Residential complexes are accounted as the most complicated and basic performance in the architectural area of the 20th century and they can have a great effect on their inhabitants' behaviors and relations. In architecture people are the most basic factor. Therefore, the meaning of each architectural work is subject to the extent it provides the relief, relaxation, and satisfaction of people and also to the extent it would meet their needs (Alexander, 1994); In other word, a given residential space shall be able to provide the necessary conditions for individual growth of all members of the family from the youngest to the most elderly one; that is, each of the family members shall be able to find a suitable space and the necessary private territory for fulfilling activities and achieving their physical and mental relaxation and tranquility based on their individual mental needs and interests; In addition, a given residential space shall be able to provide a necessary environment for holding family-bound relations and establishing unity among them in order to protect and strengthen the system of family as a whole. A residential center or a living space shall have two efficacy: first is the physical  aspect; that is, creating an environment with easy access to suitable facilities, desirable heat degree, suitable pressure, humidity,  airflow, or suitable light, etc.; second is meeting  people's moral needs i.e. creating suitable spaces with life style, type of culture, and social customs and etiquettes; If these two conditions are considered as fully as possible, they can bring a sense of desirability and resultantly lead to providing some degrees of people's satisfaction. This research has been conducted for analysis of satisfaction rate of a residential complex and its impact on the people's relations with the aim of 1- recognizing the variables effective on satisfaction, 2- analyzing the satisfaction rate of an environment and 3- disclosing the relationship between the satisfaction rate of an environment and the impact of that environment on the people's behaviors. This research is a fundamental and applied one attempting to take a step, even little, for increasing the quality of life in our beloved country, Iran, by disclosing the effective variables on satisfaction and their impacts on interpersonal relations in the residential complexes. Therefore, in line with the above-mentioned objectives, at first, we made an analysis on how the satisfaction is made in a residential center. In fact, what are the variables and features influencing a person's satisfaction of a residential center? And consequently, this question arises that what behavioral impacts the satisfaction or dissatisfaction of a residential center have on an individual. Finally, these issues led to formation of this hypothesis: "Satisfaction of an environment can bring about the positive effects on the relations between people there". As any kind of scientific research aim to answer the questions about the subject of research, some residential complexes in Tehran including Ekbatan, Behjatabad, and Farhangian Residential Complexes were studied in scrutiny in order to test the veracity and truth of the relevant hypothesis and then, the information was collected and analyzed in a package of SPSS software by means of a questionnaire in the form of 2520 statistical data. The results achieved suggest a strong correlation between the satisfaction rate of a complex and its impact on people's relations and correspondences.
