Abstract :
Emphasizing comprehensive and systematic approaches in housing planning and policy-making is an inevitable necessity. Given the importance of housing planning for low-income groups based on comprehensive approaches, the purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of minimal housing programs and policies, with emphasis on territorial spatial arrangement approach in East Azerbaijan province. The research method in the present study is mixed (combination of qualitative-quantitative approaches), applied purpose and descriptive-analytical nature. Also, the statistical population of the study includes managers, officials and experts in the field of housing, which the sample size is estimated using the Delphi method and purposive sampling of 200 people. In order to analyze the research information, the partial least squares method has been used in Smart-pls software. The results show that the land management approach in minimal housing programs and policies in East Azerbaijan province has not been fully and comprehensively implemented. The main reasons for the impracticability of the territorial spatial arrangement approach in minimal housing programs and policies of the province in the province can be the lack of population stabilization and preventing further immigration to the capital of Tabriz, the involvement of brokers (lack of proper government intervention) in land and housing pricing and rents in cities and taxes He also pointed to vacant houses and the lack of accurate and intelligent identification of low-income groups (first to fourth deciles) and the lack of formation of special credit funds to facilitate the receipt and repayment of facilities.
