A B S T R A C TThe purpose of this study is to measure the level of sustainability of RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES in Gorgan and to identify the impact of social capital and its dimensions on the concept of housing sustainability. The research method is descriptive and survey type. The statistical population of the research includes all the RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES of Gorgan city, of which 268 cases were determined using Cochran's formula as a statistical sample and were selected and studied using the two-stage cluster sampling method.. A researcher-made questionnaire with an answer package was used to collect data. Its validity was confirmed using the formal method and its reliability using Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the concept of social capital (α = 0.879) and housing sustainability (α = 0.810), respectively. The findings showed that there is a significant positive relationship between social capital and its dimensions with the dependent variable, i.e. housing sustainability variable and its four dimensions. The results showed that the integrated model in the present study was able to explain the relationship between social capital and the concept of housing sustainability to an acceptable extent. Therefore, this model can be useful for other urban areas of the countryExtended AbstractIntroductionThe home is the source and destination of all human life; and man leaves it for work and social activity, and after doing it and gaining experience, he returns home. Therefore, the category of housing is a broad and complex category that has various dimensions. This concept, in addition to the place in the physical concept, includes all the services and facilities needed by an individual or family that need it to live. To this end, housing planning requires in-depth studies in various social, cultural and historical fields. Today, the mere attention to the economy, many human, social, indigenous and cultural values have been lost in the course of these unprincipled constructions that have grown and are growing at an unprecedented rate. Hence, housing architecture does not simply mean designing or constructing space for human life; For this reason, in housing architecture, especially social housing, apart from the design of human habitation, other dimensions of human life and habitation must also be considered. Based on what has been mentioned, in our country, today most of the economic dimension and consequently a small increase in the construction and architecture of RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES and other dimensions of sustainable development, including social, cultural, physical and The environment is neglected. Lack of adequate housing, as housing that has the least incompatibility with the natural environment around it and in a wider area with the region and the world; it creates problems for the city and its residents. Meanwhile, RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES in Gorgan are no exception to this rule. COMPLEXES that are designed with only the economic dimension in mind, the result of which is the construction of housing in different parts of the city, which has the least coordination and compatibility with other aspects of sustainable development. Given the above, the importance of the present study, attention to the principles of sustainable development and the need to create and expand social capital for human societies, in the space that was drawn is very important. MethodologyAccording to the purpose of the research and the level of data analysis, the survey method has been used to collect data. For this purpose, a researcher-made questionnaire was used to obtain information. The statistical population of the study includes all RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES in Gorgan. The sample size is 268 based on Cochran's logical formula. Two-stage cluster random sampling method is used. So that the statistical population is divided into clusters and homogeneous groups and then the quota of groups or clusters is determined in proportion to the frequency distribution of each cluster. In the next step, RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES are selected as a statistical sample from each cluster. To verify the validity of the tool, the formal validation method (referring to professors and specialists) has been used. Cronbach's alpha method was also used to determine the reliability of the instrument. Results and discussionAccording to the results of t-test, it can be said that the social capital index is not desirable. The average of social capital index is lower than the hypothetical average. This means that the amount of social capital of the residents of RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES in Gorgan is not at the desired level. This is if the level of stability of RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES in Gorgan is at a desirable level. Also, there is a significant relationship between housing sustainability and social capital. And the order of the effect of social capital variable on the dimensions of economic, social, physical and environmental sustainability. Based on the results of the probability ratio of the Chi-square value model is less than 0.01, it can be said that the regression model is a good model in which independent variables are well able to explain the changes of the dependent variable. The results of hierarchical regression analysis showed that the estimated value of the social interaction variable is equal to 1.184, which shows that assuming the effect of all model variables remains constant, an increase in the independent social interaction variable increases by 1.184 units. In logarithmic ratios, the dependent variable (housing stability) will be associated. Prioritization of the effectiveness of the studied factors indicates that the factor of formal participation has the first place in determining the sustainability of housing. After this factor, the mental class factor is in the second place, then the RESIDENTIAL home ownership factor is in the third place. ConclusionOne of the issues that has attracted everyone's attention in recent decades is housing and its sustainable development, which is in line with human development. An important point that has been addressed in the documents of the Second Human Settlement Summit is the importance of the role of sustainable housing and the provision of adequate housing for the people in the development process. Various factors such as architectural style, climate, geography and customs are influential in housing design in different places. In the meantime, the role of social factors or in other words social capital cannot be ignored; Because social capital is rooted in the structure and social norms of society and is generally a combination of trust, communication network, social norms and social relations at the individual and community level. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study is to measure the social capital of residents and the sustainability of RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES in Gorgan. Based on the results, the four dimensions of the dependent variable are affected by the social capital variable. This means that the existence of concepts such as trust, interaction, participation, etc. in RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES, can provide the stability of the RESIDENTIAL complex. As long as the residents of a complex have an effective and reciprocal relationship with each other, the stability of the RESIDENTIAL complex is provided; Residents to protect the complex facilities, provide security, visual beauty, hygiene and cleanliness, rehabilitate or create space Green and ... will interact and participate with each other.FundingThere is no funding support. Authors’ ContributionAuthors contributed equally to the conceptualization and writing of the article.

Urban spaces in the past were the places where people used to meet, gather and communicate according to their traditions (celebrations, feasts, religious ceremonies, etc.). The urban environment was the place for satisfying social demands, while the family satisfied the natural requirements. In other words, the urban environment was the cultural and the family was the natural territory of man. Contemporary urban open spaces are mainly designed for cars, however. They are not only incapable of meeting the social demands, but also ignore cultural traditions and interrupt social relationships. Thus the outward appearance of urban open spaces have the major role for transportation and the role of people who are supposed to use urban open space as socio- cultural environments has been thoroughly ignored. Furthermore the buildings exterior which plays the key role in the legibility of the urban space is often designed with no relation to this space. To solve the problems caused by this approach, planners try to create open urban spaces with different functions. They try to create legible spaces through design of building exteriors on the basis of cognition, association, and recognition processes. Inspired by traditional fabrics which correspond to cultural requirements, they therefore recommend design of building exteriors in accordance with current living conditions. Thus cultural factors particular to a certain society will make a combination of open and closed spaces which will inevitably correspond to the physical, environmental and psychological requirements of that society. Instead of inappropriate copying of forms, this approach combines the physical attributes of spaces with the cultural needs of society, which will lead to a unique character, a particular identity, and a uniform coherent whole that conforms to its natural environment.

This paper deals with the concept of "RESIDENTIAL models" and the role it plays on human relations in RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES. It intends to, review the concept of residence, understand how a RESIDENTIAL model takes form, the influence of a RESIDENTIAL model on future human interactions. To this end, having reviewed comments and viewpoints, focused on "what is residence? which factors may create the sense of residence and how an individual can choose his/her place of residence? Finally what are the factors affecting their choice". Then two RESIDENTIAL models analyzed: balanced and unbalanced, and their effects on human 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, features and characteristics. From each category a sample was chosen for testing the hypothesis. It was eventually decided to test the hypothesis in Ekbatan, Behjatabad and Farhangian RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES. The results indicated a strong relationship between RESIDENTIAL model and its impact on human relations: more balanced the RESIDENTIAL model, stronger effects on human relations. On the other hand, more unbalanced the RESIDENTIAL model, weaker effect on human relations.

In contemporary times, the imperative to address ethical considerations within the realm of architecture has escalated, primarily in response to the prevalent environmental challenges. Environmental ethics, a facet of applied ethics, delves into the intricate interplay between nature and the exigencies arising from indiscriminate human interventions in the environment. The present research employs a descriptive-analytical approach to discern indicators of environmental ethics methodologies, drawing insights from the Hannover Principles and pertinent case studies. Within the purview of this study, the qualitative content analysis method is employed to scrutinize the conceptual framework of these principles and their ramifications on RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES. To identify pivotal indicators and criteria catering to RESIDENTIAL needs, the Expert questionnaire and AHP method are applied. The accrual of research data is facilitated through a researcher-developed questionnaire, subsequently subjected to analysis utilizing SPSS statistical software. The analytical approach involves correlation coefficient analysis and a one-sample t-test. In alignment with the Hannover Principles, environmental ethics indicators are systematically classified into three distinct categories: principles pertaining to human aspects, those linked to nature, and principles concerning productivity. This study aims to investigate the role of these principles as evaluative criteria in the design of contemporary RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES. The central research question guiding this inquiry is articulated as follows: To what extent have environmental ethics principles been integrated into the design paradigms of modern RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES? The empirical findings underscore the imperative of infusing environmental ethical standards into the fabric of sustainable building creation. Notably, principles related to human aspects emerge as particularly consequential, garnering the highest score among all the considered criteria for RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES.

Cultural identity and the analysis of its dimensions and components are among the most important issues facing developing societies. There are many studies in this field, but no reliable theoretical knowledge has been written, that can provide practical models for the durability and dynamism of cultural identity and illustrate its relationship with architecture. The importance of studying the issue of identity in RESIDENTIAL areas is reflected in the impressive changes in the architecture and urban planning of cities in the21st century. Developments in RESIDENTIAL spaces are gradually doubling after land reform, urban population growth, and the use of new construction technologies. Kermanshah is one of the developing metropolises that has undergonemany changes since developments of the Pahlavi period. The purpose of this study is to find the relationship between cultural identity and architecture of RESIDENTIAL spaces and explain the position of durability and dynamism within this relationship.Based on Structuration theory, architecture acts as a social system of reproduction (reflection) of structure, and culture operates as the structure of RESIDENTIAL spaces. Structures are "validated" affairs that humans create in interaction with phenomena and the environment, which are continuously recreated and reproduced in the context of society and everyday life. In this approach, structuration is the conditions governing the continuity or deformation of structures, and identity is representation of social systems. Thus, the analysis of the structural principles of systems focuses on methods of identification and distinguishing identity. If rules and resources that make up a system are discovered in the structures, all its components could be explained in its reproduction. The case study focuses on RESIDENTIAL spaces in a part of 22 Bahman district of Kermanshah and tracks its evolution since 1978.RESIDENTIAL spaces in this research are investigated in four types: primitive villas,  recent villas, primitive apartments, and newer apartments. Then, by conceptualizing in three categories--individual attitude, social attitude and human attitude towards nature and the environment--and by interviewing the inhabitants of RESIDENTIAL spaces, the degree and correlation of durability and dynamism between the sources and rules of cultural identity and RESIDENTIAL spaces are analyzed and evaluated. The relation between components of durability and dynamism of cultural identity and architecture of RESIDENTIAL spaces is then illustrated by charts and tables. Based on the research findings, regarding the durability and dynamism of cultural identity in relation to the architecture of RESIDENTIAL spaces in Kermanshah in recent decades, it can be said that from the 1980 AD until now, the durability of the cultural identity of the family and the architecture of RESIDENTIAL spaces has gradually decreased and their dynamism has increased exponentially. As for the relationship between the cultural identity and architecture of RESIDENTIAL spaces, we argue that although this dynamism is stronger and weaker in some components, it is often analogous in the family culture and the structure of the RESIDENTIAL space. In this regard, the contradictory components between the durability and dynamism of cultural identity and the architecture have been revealed in the form of residents' dissatisfaction.

the present study investigates the influence of the shape and design of open spaces in RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES on the environmental response rate. According to the related literature, quality of open space between buildings in RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES, the so-called outdoor environment, has a positive relationship with residents` satisfaction and the desirability of RESIDENTIAL projects. In this study, the environmental responsiveness is considered to be one of environmental factors affecting the desirability, which can influence residents' quality of life and satisfaction from RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES. Environmental Responsiveness is, offering different responses to the physiological and psychological needs of different users through environment. The concept of environmental responsiveness includes several variables that can be evaluated through the measurement of different environmental factors. The theoretical framework of the study suggests that, a responsive outdoor environment includes the principal components of flexibility, legibility and quality of visual effects. The flexibility component consists of two criteria of environment modification and behavior adaptation. Each of legibility and visual components can be measured and assessed by three criteria. The criteria which make the legibility measurable are ease of orientation, clear definition of activity borders and visual accessibility. Visual effect component is measured by three criteria of proportionality and harmony, visual integration and façade appealing. In this study, by using survey research methods, evaluation of 360 residents of RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES to response rate of three different "linear", "single" and "middle open space" projects in the city of Hamadan was carried out. In order to understand the significant difference between the averages of the studied projects, the Chi-square test was used. The survey findings show that only in four standards of clear definition of socio- physical boundaries of activity, visual integrity, proportion and harmony and façade appealing in three RESIDENTIAL projects studied, the differences are significant. In the other four criteria, namely environmental modification, behavioral adaptation, easy navigation and visual accessibility there were seen no significant differences in three RESIDENTIAL projects. In other words, the environmental responsive rates of the three projects are significantly different from each other in the visual quality of the components. Imam Reza quarter residents with middle open space design evaluated a better visual quality of the outdoor environment, than respondents if other RESIDENTIAL open space types. In the middle open space design, because of the concentration of the building blocks around a central space, the integrity of visual perception is obtained more than other form of designs. In total, according to the findings, it could be argued that the quality of visual effects is significantly influenced by the shape of space. However, the impact of the designed space on two dimensions of flexibility and legibility is not significant. Environmental responsiveness in the two components is achieved with equipment, facilitation of certain activities and social relations in the environment. Therefore, it can be concluded that the outdoor responsiveness, is not dependent on only the form of space and the outdoor environment itself, but is influenced by all the factors and elements forming the RESIDENTIAL environments.

Due to the increase of the elderly in the world and in Iran, attention to this group and providing them with the appropriate environmental conditions in order to maintain their satisfaction have further increased. One of the influential factors in enhancing the quality of outdoor space quality is the nature and its elements that can now be studied using modern approaches, such as biophilic approach. The present research has been conducted with the purpose of evaluating the relationship between the biophilic outdoor elements of RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES and the elderly’s RESIDENTIAL satisfaction and also taking into account the effect of individual factors (moderating variables) in this relationship. The current research was a quantitative study which was conducted in the form of a survey using a researcher-developed questionnaire. Pearson's correlation coefficient test and SPSS 24 software were used to analyze the data. The statistical population is the elderly living in the RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES of Shiraz city. The sampling was done from among 174 people who were over 60 years old (101 males and 73 females). Comparing the results of the tests revealed that individual factors (moderating variables) affect the research variables and this influence can be effective in significance and the correlation degree of the relationships. Of the 72 relationships in the total results of the three study COMPLEXES, 67 correlations have a medium correlation coefficient and five correlations have a low correlation coefficient. The highest correlation coefficient is related to spatial orientation with the effect of individual factor, marital status(0.656); and with the adjusted coefficient of determination (0.472).The results related to Biopfilic sub-elements revealed thirty-eight significant relationships and six insignificant relationships (out of forty-four relationships), and the sense of belonging element (0.549) having the highest correlation. The research findings can be effective in reinforcing the Biophilic elements of outdoor space in RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES for the RESIDENTIAL satisfaction of the elderly.

This research examines the functioning of shared spaces in RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES. For this purpose, some 50 RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES were randomly selected from the list of registered RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES. These COMPLEXES were all located within the city, occupied and managed by an elected board. Some of these COMPLEXES were above eight stories with the ground floor reserved for parking. Key factors were measured for these COMPLEXES such as area and use; capacity, frequency and time of use; as well as number of stories. The correlation between these factors was then calculated. As a result, meaningful correlations were found between these factors. For example, it was shown that use of shared spaces corresponds to the area of these spaces. Therefore, in COMPLEXES with taller buildings, these spaces were used more frequently and for longer periods.

Various factors affect the degree of mass crime of an environment, including social, economic, and physical factors. The purpose of this research is to inves tigate the role of the physical components of an environment on mass crime rate. In this regard, open spaces between RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES were selected as the case s tudies and based on five outdoor patterns including linear pattern, dispersed pattern and open central courtyard pattern and closed central courtyard pattern as well as molecular pattern in five RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES was selected in Shiraz city. The analytical tool in this research is syntactic theory, and analyzes were carried out using Depthmap software. In this s tudy, four indicators of "physical accessibility", "visual accessibility", "local access" and "universal access" as a research framework were formulated and case s tudies were analyzed based on them. Finally, an optimal final pattern with the lowes t probability of mass crime is presented and the corresponding solutions are explained. The results of the s tudy on the effect of outdoor design on providing space security with regard to the spatial access indicators showed that among the five proposed patterns, the central yard pattern and the closed central courtyard had the larges t rate of space security. Other patterns including dispersed, linear and molecular patterns are in the next positions, respectively.
