The explanation design pattern of contemporary housing based on sense of belonging to place from the perspective of users and designers- Case study: Kermanshah city

The place is not a “neutral space”; its character is shaped by the way we feel, perceive, think, experience, and imagine it. The sense of belonging has been a necessary infrastructure for planning in human spaces; Physical environment and its effects on daily life of people is an issue which has been the focus of many expert's interests over recent years. Housing is a need that has different meanings in different natural and manmade environments, and each community has tailored its needs, talents, abilities, and limitations to its particular form. Housing areas to provide social development involved the environment around in addition to residential units, In other words, housing is not just a structure but an institution created to meet a complex set of goals, while neglecting the functionalism of modernist views of development, alienating the human, the city and architecture from a sense of alienation and mass production. Space-less and meaningless spaces have left the man in a state of inertia. The city of Kermanshah has not been ignorant of these conditions either. Overall, according to studies, 2015, only 3.48% of Kermanshah residential units were suitable conditions based on the overlap of all qualitative and quantitative layers in GIS. Therefore, this research seeks to identify the effective factors in residential design, to enhance the sense of place and answer the question What values and beliefs are important in forming ideas of belonging today?  That it should be noted that descriptive-analytic methodology, techniques of literature and sources review in the context of library studies, and field studies of representation were utilized to provide theoretical frameworks for strengthening the sense of belonging to the place. Initially, the study of the original houses of Kermanshah was studied. Iranian traditional houses have a kind of internal space structure based on religious and traditional ideas of Iranian families. These houses have manifested native-traditional models of the history of Iran which have originated from individual and collective cultures of the people, who have been formed, have grown, have been manifested and have reached perfection. Then, based on factors affecting sense of belonging, proportional to the subject, and based on a five-point Likert range, one was designed for teachers and designers in the field with 15 individuals and the other for Kermanshah citizens with 384 and distributed in summer 98. Eventually, statistical methods of structural equation modeling, confirmatory factor analysis, and multiple linear regression model were used to determine the nature of the relationship between sense of belonging and place ranking factors by Amos software. The results show that Kermanshah citizens think that the most important factor in forming a sense of belonging in the residential space is " comfort and enjoyment with space " and then " cultural signs " and " vitality and visual quality ", but in designers' “ Space and how to access it " has the most impact on the sense of place. This analysis illustrates the gap between designers and users, which can be further consolidated through studies of this kind.
