        The first thing that comes to mind when residential areas in the culture of contemporary Iranian architecture are studied is that achieving higher quality in residential environments is a necessity given the said point. Identifying the main factors that affect quality improvement, providing a model for quality measurement in the residential environment, and then prioritizing indexes is essential. Not only does this method study the issue of quality from the perspective of residents living in the selected complex, but also it can be used in quality improvement policies and strategies of residential environments. Therefore, this article considers three main factors: capability of intermediate spaces, quality of architectural design, and personal characteristics of residents in question. This article analyzed the relationship between these factors and the quality of residential complexes. Further, it determined environmental quality based on residents’ needs and expectations by providing a four-level model for measuring quality in residential complexes and measuring indicators from residents. Then, it identified the principal indicators in quality improvement of the environment by prioritizing indicators. This measurement used t-test, correlation, and factor analysis. The results obtained in the field of research hypotheses showed that there is a significant correlation between the indicators of the duration of residence, level of education, age and type of ownership (in the individual characteristics of residents), the ability of intermediate spaces, and the quality of architects’ design with the quality of the residential environment. The results showed that the residents of Vahdat Beton Complex are not satisfied with the quality of their residential environment. The quality score showed that the most dissatisfaction is with the area of the residential complex. Also, the consequence of the significant coefficient demonstrated that the area of the residential unit should be considered by the city officials, as their top priority. The results of the analysis of the elements that make up the quality of the environment showed that space 2 at the level of the neighborhood unit, space 2 at the level of the residential complex, and space 3 at the level of the residential unit is more important spaces for the residents. Moreover, the lowest level of residents’ satisfaction is with the accessibility at the level of the residential complex and the observance of privacy, overlooking, and visual pleasure at the level of the residential unit. Prioritization of measures to improve the quality of the environment showed that space 3, at the level of the neighborhood unit, space 2 at the level of a residential complex, spaces 1 & 3 at the level of the residential unit are the most important spaces for improving the quality of buildings. It also showed that indicators of green space and social livelihood in space 2, visual pleasure and sensual richness in space 3 of neighborhood unit level, accessibility, and readability in space3, green space and controlling the entry of strangers to the complex in space 1 of residential complex level, green space, and belonging in space 3, privacy and overlooking in space 1 of the residential unit level.  Manuscript profile

        Interventions in historical contexts are taking place with different approaches throughout Iran and the world. The present study was designed to answer the question of what approaches should be taken in relation to residents’ viewpoints in the Jobebara neighborhood of Isfahan, which is a historical context. For this reason, after reviewing a variety of strategies, the residents’ opinion and their democratic intervention and social participation were selected as the appropriate research strategies, which was tested through a questionnaire of residents’ opinions on the subject under investigation. The method of the present study is a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods so that the interpretation and analysis of various books and articles related to the field of interfacial development are placed alongside the quantitative method (questionnaire) in the field of analysis, and evaluation of interfacial structures and also for the purpose of the application. The data collection methods in this study are library and field research, because the researcher first studied library resources and then field studies, interviewed specialists in the field and residents in the context by drawing visual questionnaires on the subject of research. To identify infill buildings, all approaches to infill buildings include ten methods including, maximal contrast, and stylistic approach, stylistic maximum likelihood and new synergy approach, facade approach, ornamental approach, deductive approach, and line design, neutral or zero degrees, unstable architecture coexistence, style and fantasy, subtle or mirrored building approach, contextual architecture with continuity approach, hybrid approach were analyzed and then co-integration and integration approaches were analyzed. Finally, integrated approaches were decreased to 5 approaches, the approach of conflict and contrast maximum and candid style, approach parallels maximum style and synergy between the new and old approach, preservation of the facade approach, neutral or degree zero architectural approaches, and creating subtle or mirror new buildings, respectively. In developing the questionnaire, a growing number of images related to the architecture of infill buildings in historical contexts of different parts of Iran and the world, especially the city of Isfahan, including Jouyebra, were tested by the Delphi method and based on five selected approaches in this field. The scores on both questionnaires were scored on a Likert scale (score scale), in which each image was scored from very low to very high (1-5). Then, the highest-rated images and their questions were surveyed by 360 residents, and finally, 340 people were accepted and analyzed by the IBM SPSS Statistics 25 software. Investigating the reliability of the variables under examination in the historical texture of the river. It was found that the inhabitants of the neighborhood generally wanted a completely new and modern construction in their texture, compared to being in harmony with the existing texture. This means that most residents were unenthusiastic in the texture of their neighborhood and were looking for modernity. For this reason, the findings showed that residents’ views of reflective and mirrored approaches to new buildings to the neutral or zero degree architecture approaches ranged from highest to lowest, respectively.

        The most important function of any city is its residential role, and for this reason, the qualitative characteristics of housing play an essential role in the quality of urban spaces and social-spatial justice. With the rapid growth of urbanization in the last century, especially in underdeveloped societies, followed by the natural growth of the population, migration and the shrinking of the household dimension, causing serious challenges in the city, including the reduction of housing quality and inequality in various physical, environmental, service, social and economic dimensions. has been Region 2 of Tehran city has a diversity of residential and housing quality due to its north-south orientation and stretching from the city center to the northernmost urban parts of Tehran. Housing is one of the vital needs of humans, for this reason, residents' satisfaction with the quality of housing in urban areas can be analyzed, and neglecting this important issue can cause housing inequality. The aim of the current research is to analyze the residents' satisfaction with the quality of housing at the level of neighborhoods in the 2nd district of Tehran. The research method of this research is descriptive-analytical with an applied nature, and it has been done in the collection of information through documentary and survey methods using the questionnaire method. The collected data were done using the sample t-test, satisfaction level of housing quality indicators, Pearson's correlation test and finally factor analysis. The findings show that the studied indicators (access, structural features, amenities, economic features, social features and environmental health) have a significant relationship with the research topic and even the components of each indicator. The results of the residents' satisfaction also indicate that the area is favorable in terms of having the indicators studied in the research. Finally, ten factors for housing quality can be identified from the perspective of street quality, building type, housing demand, cultural level, amenities, access to the station and transportation lines, quietness of the place, sound and air quality, ethnic and racial ratio, and municipal fees and taxes. The results of Pearson's correlation analysis indicate that the highest correlation was related to the indicators of amenities with accessibility and economic characteristics.Extended AbstractIntroduction:      The extent of the housing problem and its existing dimensions, including its quantity and quality in terms of scale and size, and in terms of various social, economic, cultural, physical, etc. dimensions, have given great importance to this sector. Housing is one of the basic needs of a family, which must meet their human needs and desires. If its lack is felt, it will lead to many serious crises in a stable society. According to the mentioned topics, the housing should provide advantages such as the location that includes proximity to the workplace, shopping, business and schools, the environment that expresses the quality of the neighborhood such as security and beauty, the ability of investment that expresses the capital reserve. Due to the characteristic of the housing in that it is immobile, it acquires characteristics from its surroundings that are in addition to its physical shape and dimension, so it is possible that a housing has high quality, but due to being far from services and jobs, from a social point of view, it has There is no value or its level is low, which of course, this problem can be seen in all rich and poor countries. The commercialization of urban housing, the culture of housing demand and rapid urbanization have caused the value and quality of housing to flourish, especially in metropolitan cities. The issue of housing quality has received much attention in recent years and has become the subject of scientific research in all fields, which indicates the quality of urban spaces and spatial justice, as well as expressing the general social, economic and environmental characteristics of different regions. Housing has always been the biggest concern of households because it is considered both as capital and as the main factor of quality of life, and this issue is more prominent in underdeveloped countries. So it is possible to consider the quality of real estate as a measure of the general quality of life that a citizen expects when buying a particular house in a particular urban area.Methodology:      The present research, in terms of purpose, is fundamental and applied and has an interpretive and analytical nature and in terms of method. In the collection of information, it has been done by documentary and survey method using the questionnaire method. Based on Cochran's (2007) methodological approach, we distributed 350 questionnaires through a cluster sampling method that represents the northern, middle and southern parts of this region in the form of neighborhood units in these three parts. We did this to have a more accurate conclusion. SPSS software was used to analyze the data and explain the relationships between the research components. After the demographic survey of the respondents of this area, we investigated the status of the research indicators from the T-Tech test from the citizens' point of view. Finally, factor analysis was performed to determine the most important indicators.Results and discussion:       Qualitative findings showed that the means housing and its existing dimensions, including quantity and quality in terms of scale and size and in terms of different social, economic, cultural and physical dimensions. In other words, and in short, the most important function of any city is its residential role, and this is why the qualitative characteristics of housing can play a fundamental role in the quality of urban spaces and social-spatial justice. In this regard, the present research has been conducted with the aim of analyzing the satisfaction of residents with the quality of housing with the approach of spatial justice in the 2nd district of Tehran in six indicators of accessibility, structural features, amenities, economic features, social features and environmental health.Conclusion:      One of the objectives of the current research was to measure the satisfaction of residents with housing quality by using housing quality indicators in the 2nd district of Tehran according to the special characteristics of this area, using a sample T-Tech test for all the components of the desired indicators to explain the relationship between They got done. The results of the test show the appropriate level of satisfaction of the residents with the housing quality in all components. Therefore, the results of the research show that the urban neighborhoods with the indicators studied in the research regarding the quality of housing can have a good satisfaction from the residents. Another goal of this research was zoning neighborhoods according to housing quality by using residents' satisfaction with indicators. Among the six indicators that were considered regarding the quality of housing, the results of residents' satisfaction indicate that the 2nd district of Tehran is favorable in terms of having the indicators studied in the research. In the first three indicators, i.e. accessibility, structural features and amenities, very high satisfaction has caused the desirability of the region, but in the next three indicators, i.e. economic features, social features and environmental health, despite the satisfaction and desirability, fewer neighborhoods in the 2nd district of Tehran are satisfied. have had a very high Based on the results obtained from the correlation analysis in the 2nd district of Tehran, the highest correlation is related to the indicators of comfort facilities with access and economic characteristics.
