Abstract :
One of the most important solutions for reducing the capacity of metropolises and solving their problems is building new towns. An Important factor in attracting people to new towns is providing higher housing quality than the mother city and generally, a better quality of the living environment. This paper explores the relationship between satisfaction with subjective indicators of quality of life in residential complexes based on architectural design properties. The main goal is to achieve the optimal design criteria for residential complexes based on satisfaction with the subjective indicators of residents. First, the research model is designed based on the relationship between subjective indicators and architectural components, and resident's characteristics. In evaluating the structural model, first, the factor load of different variables of the questionnaire in predicting the relevant items examined to ensure the suitability of measurement models and the acceptability of their markers in measuring variables. The research method is using the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) technique and AMOS software. A questionnaire survey was distributed among occupants of some residential complexes in the three new cities of Andisheh, Parand, and Pardis. The results show that among the evaluated indicators, security has the highest satisfaction. Residents do not feel a sense of belonging despite satisfaction with objective indicators. Physical factors as façade design and landscape design have relatively low satisfaction. Residents' social relationship is weak, the most important factor in terms of design is the lack of spaces for social interactions.
