چکیده مقاله :
This paper deals with the concept of “residential models” and the role it plays on human relations in residentialcomplexes. It intends to; review the concept of residence; understand how a residential model takes form; the influence of aresidential model on future human interactions. To this end, having reviewed comments and viewpoints, focused on “what isresidence? which factors may create the sense of residence and how an individual can choose his/her place of residence? Finallywhat are the factors affecting their choice”. Then two residential models analyzed: balanced and unbalanced, and their effects onhuman relations. Afterwards the research hypothesis was posed: “residential model is an effective factor on human relations”.Whereas the above study is limited to a small number of complexes in Tehran, for the purpose of testing the hypothesis and, in turn,for determining sample population, the residential complexes were classified into three categories in terms of facilities, featuresand characteristics. From each category a sample was chosen for testing the hypothesis. It was eventually decided to test thehypothesis in Ekbatan, Behjatabad and Farhangian residential complexes. The results indicated a strong relationship betweenresidential model and its impact on human relations: more balanced the residential model, stronger effects on human relations. Onthe other hand, more unbalanced the residential model, weaker effect on human relations.
