Effect of Housing Layout and Open Space Morphology on Residential Environments–Applying New Density Indices for Evaluation of Residential Areas Case Study: Tehran, Iran

Over time, urban developments with increased densities have led to a decrease in private open space with a lack of public open space. Residential open spaces are missing in housing legislations as they are estimated based on floor area ratio and building coverage ratio, whereas they cannot be used as an all-encompassing measurement tool. Moreover, it is important for designers to consider housing layout to ensure a pleasant environment for residents; eventually, a range of benefits and opportunities will be available in residential open spaces. Therefore, to achieve a better quality of space in residential areas, new indices in the evaluation of residential environments should be proposed. This research assumes that there are links between the attributes of housing layout, space openness, and quality of space in residential areas. This study intends to examine some of the effects of housing layouts on residential open space through a comparative analysis of residential areas in Tehran. The relation between building arrangements, possibility of windows, and spatial openness will be analyzed; subsequently, two new indices—wall perimeter index (WPI) and spatial openness index (SOI)—will be proposed and target districts will be studied to compare different residential areas according to the new indices.

Rural–Urban Adaptation in Dwelling Patterns in an Informal Settlement in the Dominican Republic - A Case Study of Azul in San Francisco de Macorís -

Abstract The aim of this paper is to consider a core-housing model that suits the local culture and customs of the Dominican Republic. The study is based on a survey that was conducted in an informal settlement called Azul, in the municipality of San Francisco de Macorís. The goal of the survey was to study rural–urban adaptation patterns in the dwellings, and to identify the minimal core that could be used as a basis for the proposal. The survey was divided into two stages: 1) questionnaires were administered to the local residents to identify the residents′ profiles, and 2) direct observation and mapping was used to identify the dwelling patterns. Sixteen residents were interviewed and 15 dwellings were mapped for the analysis. The results showed that the dwellers built their homes initially based on the traditional rural dwelling pattern, and then adapted and improved their dwellings according to their capabilities and life cycle stage. Based on the survey results, a basis for a core-housing model that takes into account the Dominican lifestyle is proposed.
