نویسنده
چکیده مقاله:
Like other crises, the coronavirus epidemic has had a significant impact on our lives. As a result, the built environment has changed in order to adapt to new conditions and needs. Since Covid19 will not be the first and possibly the last epidemic, housing design must also adapt to the new reality. At present, the spatial properties of housing are influenced by strategies of social distance, quarantine and isolation, proper ventilation, and infection control, which have imposed new patterns of life and work. This study has used a qualitative approach to answer the question of how housing design can support human health and well-being in an epidemic. After identifying the most important strategies for controlling the risk of epidemic from the literature review, the measures and suggestions of experts in order to manage its risk have been discussed. Sampling in this study was done using purposive sampling and data collection from semi-structured questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using thematic analysis method and qualitative data coding. From all the analyzes, Covid19 virus risk management strategies in the field of housing architecture were identified and classified into ten categories in the form of four research topics. Among the research findings, spatial separation for quarantine and isolation, the role of open and semi-open spaces and natural ventilation in reducing the risk and response to Covid19 disease, zoning of spaces to control infection and finally design criteria for Responding to new functions and interactions in housing became more important. The instructions presented in this study as housing design strategies can help prevent and reduce the risk of epidemic diseases and improve the resident’s quality of life in the new imposed conditions.
