Abstract :
Background and Objective: Green spaces are still considered as an inseparable element of human life. Creating green spaces with appropriate and optimal efficiency in residential complexes is always considered essential. In this research, the level of satisfaction of the residents of two residential complexes, Elahia and Amirieh, Kermanshah, was investigated regarding the factors affecting the desirability of green space. Material and Methodology: This research is descriptive-analytical. The components of the green space were identified and based on the review of texts, related studies and experts' opinions in the form of a researcher's questionnaire, and with the approval of the relevant experts, it was designed in the form of a Likert scale (five options) and was selected by 143 people from Amirieh Complex and 158 people from Elahia Complex, which in total 301 people were completed. All statistical analyzes were done using SPSS software, descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, variance) were used to describe the research components. In the inferential statistics section, the correlation coefficient was used to investigate the relationship between the area of green space and the level of satisfaction of the residents of the complex, the independent t-test was used to compare the level of satisfaction of the residents of the two mentioned complexes, and the Friedman test was used to identify the components of the satisfaction of the residents. Findings: The results indicate that the feeling of satisfaction in Elahia residential complex is higher than that of Amirieh residential complex, and among the 14 factors affecting the satisfaction of the residents of the two complexes, the area of green space had the highest score and green space facilities such as children's play equipment had the lowest score. In other words, with the increase in the area of green space, the level of satisfaction of the residents with the complex also increases. Discussion and Conclusion: As a result, 14 components were examined in this research. They should be significantly prioritized in residential complex projects to lead to an increase in residents' satisfaction.
