Iran’s General Housing Policies (2009) emphasize the provision of affordable Housing for low-income groups, support for professional, mass, and industrial Housing construction, and the preservation of cultural values and family dignity in Housing design. In this context, the Mehr Housing Project (MHP) was initiated by the Ninth Administration to address the growing demand for affordable Housing. Evaluating the outcomes of such large-scale Housing initiatives and assessing resident satisfaction is crucial for urban planners and policymakers. This study conducts a meta-analysis of research on resident satisfaction with MHP. To this end, studies published between 2012 and 2021 were collected, and 22 articles that utilized a five-point Likert scale were selected for analysis. After a content review, four key dimensions of Housing satisfaction were identified: Housing quality, socio-economic characteristics, physical-spatial attributes, and environmental features of the neighborhood. The overall satisfaction score was estimated using CMA software. The results indicate that the average resident satisfaction level, within a 95% confidence interval, was 2. 87—below the theoretical mean of 3. Satisfaction scores for Housing quality, physical-spatial attributes, socio-economic factors, and environmental characteristics were 2. 87, 2. 88, 2. 93, and 3. 22, respectively. These findings suggest that MHP falls short of optimal Housing satisfaction, particularly in terms of Housing quality and physical-spatial attributes. Housing provision should not be limited to construction alone,rather, resident satisfaction factors must be integrated into Housing Policies and development programs.

IntroductionPopulation statistics indicate many problems for future of urban areas of Iran. The middle of population age pyramid of Iran is wide. This indicates that planners and policy-makers are faced with many problems including unemployment, social issues and Housing. Housing is of great importance, because it is one of the basic needs of humans. Today, in the world literature, Housing does not only refer to a roof over one’ s head, but it implies a physical location, residential environment, required services for a family welfare, employment plans, education facilities, and etc...

Background: The Housing sector has had many ups and downs in its four decades of policy-making. Policies that have sometimes led to the growth and development of construction and sometimes have faced a severe recession in this sector. Implemented as the Mehr Housing project. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of Mehr Housing and Housing Policies on Iran's economic growth, which have been studied in the period 1356 to 1396. Method: The method of data collection in this research is archival. In this research, Eviews 10 software and ordinary least squares regression model (OLS) have been used to test the hypotheses. The statistical population in this study is the Iranian economy and the sample size of the Iranian economy was from 56 to 96. The information and financial data required to calculate the variables are collected from the database of the Central Bank website and the Statistics Office website and the Housing Bank website. Results: The results of the main hypothesis of the research at 95% confidence level indicate that government policy in the Housing sector has no significant effect on economic growth. However, the results of this study in sub-hypotheses show that government policy in the Housing sector has a significant effect on capital stock and active population, but does not have a significant effect on budget deficit. Conclusion: Knowing the players in this market and the indicators affecting it can lead to informed decision making in this sector. At the present time, when the economic and political conditions are very complex and on the other hand, with the increase in the price of currency, the economic balances of the country have changed, the need to use this knowledge is more important. Knowing that the future trend of the Housing market will present risks and opportunities for activists, and helps make more accurate decisions.

The Housing category is very extensive and has different spatial, architectural, physical-physical, economic, and social dimensions. To provide this commodity, governments have taken different Policies in such a way that post-revolutionary politics Various types of Housing have been considered in order to support low income groups and groups in the country. One of the most massive and costly Housing Policies for low-income groups in Iran is the Mehr Housing policy. The purpose of this study was to measure the Housing design concept of Zareein city of Gorgan city in terms of urban Housing sustainability indicators. The current research is applied-developmental and descriptive-analytical and survey method, which has been evaluated in the form of four indicators of physical, economic, socio-cultural and ecological stability. To analyze data and information from SPSS software, Friedman test, Pearson correlation coefficient and single sample t-test. According to Friedman test, the results show that the lowest status of Housing stability indices is among the components of physical dimension (2. 48) to the type of materials. Most of the economic aspects of Housing (3. 34) are related to the cost of Housing. In the socio-cultural dimension, privacy of households has the lowest (2. 47). Environmental components are least associated with the lack of parking space and green space (2. 12). The highest correlation was found between the cultural and physical dimensions of Housing, which is a positive correlation and correlation coefficient is equal to (0. 46),

Among basic needs of human being, Housing is an important factor and its quality, quantity and location characteristics depend on the health of people. In Iran the 5-year developmental plans include the quantity of needed units of Housing, but the process of preparing these plans involve some critical points which are debatable, for example in the second 5"year plan needed Housing units are estimated as 2.5 million units, and Ministry of Housing and Urban Development has undertaken only 5% and the 95% remaining units have been given over to the private sector without any definition and legislation. The result of the work of private sector at the five years were the high-rise buildings for the rich people without development of the infrastructure and network of traffic routs. At the West European countries they proceed with Housing policy with four kinds of policy-making: Rightism, leftism, mediocrity and Tacherism. This article aims to compare these Policies with urban policy of Iran and the results may be useful for further policy-making in Iran.

Housing is a fundamental human need, yet rapid urbanization and macroeconomic instability have intensified affordability pressures for low-income groups in Iran. This study employs a grounded theory (GT) qualitative design, based on expert interviews, to evaluate the effectiveness of major state-led initiatives, including the National Housing Plan, the Mehr Housing Project, and the Worker Housing Project. GT enables concepts and categories to emerge inductively from empirical evidence, providing a context-specific understanding of policy dynamics. Findings indicate persistent structural deficiencies: weak site selection, inadequate infrastructure and services, limited stakeholder participation, and insufficient attention to macroeconomic conditions. These shortcomings, together with the spatial concentration of disadvantaged groups, have undermined policy outcomes. In a comparative perspective, participatory models backed by sustainable finance and clear governance, such as Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), used in several developed countries, contrast with Iran's centralized approach. The study contributes to the Housing policy literature by integrating interview-based evidence with international frameworks and by highlighting the need for multi-sectoral, transparent, and financially resilient strategies. Policy implications include strengthening inter-agency coordination and municipal roles, adopting mixed financing mechanisms, integrating infrastructure and services at the planning stage, and designing dispersion and inclusion measures to reduce socio-spatial segregation.

From an architectural perspective, typology has a mixed nature of matter and meaning that is crystallized in the architect's mind. The mind map of empirical architects in the design of buildings in Iran until the late 40s was based on a mix of environment and culture, but has since begun to crystallize contemporary homes as a result of public Housing Policies. The purpose of this study was to determine the typology of Housing in Qazvin with emphasis on Housing Policies and qualitative and survey method. In the first part, the basics of the concept of typology are summarized. In the following, seven types of Housing have been identified in Qazvin city using the qualitative research strategy and documentary studies of the post-revolutionary government policy periods. For detailed study, the research area of ​​each species is also selected for detailed study. Finally, a comparative study of selected policy samples and indigenous species is provided and the documentation related to each is presented using the historical research approach through documentary study and interviews with key informants. Applying the typology strategy through documenting contemporary urban change can effectively reflect government Housing policy in cities. What was highlighted in this study is the first step in zoning government Housing Policies in Qazvin and a detailed review of selected samples from each policy area. The findings of the study suggest that Housing Policies focused on supportive, quantitative, type-specific supportive Policies rather than on individual city-specific studies. Since the most influential criterion in the field of Housing is the 40-60 criterion in the North Front, the five types of Housing that have been the result of post-revolutionary state Policies are the same and similar in terms of altitude, despite their different temporal origin, The density of the unit is different. This species can be seen in other cities as well. Based on findings from documentary studies, field studies, and comparative studies of contemporary species, the result of government Housing Policies with historical-ancient varieties of Qazvin suggests that Housing in historical-ancient context was not derived from civic planning and policy. Designed and Drafted Most of the buildings are built on a basement floor and the building stretches along the north-south axis. The buildings use a central courtyard with space built around it. Typically, one front (I), two fronts (L), three fronts (U) are built around the yard. The species examined in the historical context indicate the impact of activity, belonging, and convergence on Housing construction. The Housing surveyed was designed and constructed in accordance with government Policies in an extravagant new and modern context and is typically high-end. Most buildings are 4-6 storeys high and the tower is built. The elongation of the building is along the north-south axis. Collection was made in the form of apartment blocks and high-rise building in this context in accordance with the policy of bulking. The apartments were built as an organizational home by the Housing and Urban Development Agency to house government employees and workers. Therefore, what should be taken into account is the regionalization and localization of government Housing Policies to formulate and develop local Housing regulations and regulations, depending on the cultural and indigenous conditions of each area, and can effectively promote The quality of Housing is a step up.

Tehran a small village of Rey Metropolis with limited population has been changed into megalopolis containing about seven million inhabitants. Only, during last century - almost in second half - the population grew forty two times and the area expanded thirty fold. As the urban land is occupied by more than 40% on Housing and because of rapid growth of population, the demand for Housing has increased sharply. The qualitative and quantative problems have risen so fast. I believe that, this growth is not natural. By deep research,It would be obvious that above mentioned gigantic growth is the product of prevalence of private section and lack of influential control of govemment on Housing section. The weak policy - some times wrong - which is not fully operated has brought in some negative Physical and social resultants, disharmonic and displamzed expansion of the city, shanty towns,Housing location on the fault area, and also economic, social, and skeletal results,finally political and environmental problems.
