Abstract

In recent years, following the increase in population and migration to cities, social housing has been proposed as one of the ways to respond to housing needs. Since social housing is considered a new experience in Iran, the study of housing seems necessary due to the ever-increasing expansion of such housing in cities. With this work, clear scientific foundations can be created in the design of social housing in accordance with human needs. The purpose of this article in the first part is to explain the dimensions of hidden housing in accordance with human needs with a semantic approach and in the second part to comprehensively analyze the dimensions of hidden housing in the social housing of Hamadan city in order to achieve design and implementation policies to improve the quality of housing. The present study was conducted in the field of architecture using a combined method and using content analysis, with a semantic approach. The first part of the data was collected qualitatively using interviews and the second part was collected through a quantitative method. First, based on the documents, the concepts and theories related to living and realizing the dimensions of human existence in the place were studied. Then, the data have been analyzed in the first part, using coding. In the second part, the data obtained in the first part were put into a questionnaire and evaluated using SPSS software and statistical methods such as t-test, Friedman and factor analysis. According to the studies, four dimensions including physical-spatial, social-cultural, perceptual-aesthetic and ecological-environmental dimensions are in accordance with human needs. Among the dimensions mentioned, the socio-cultural dimension is more important than other dimensions in achieving the concept of living in housing. After that, physical-structural, environmental and finally perceptual-aesthetic dimensions are in the next levels, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to improve the quality, realize real human habitation and peace in such settlements by providing solutions in design, according to each dimension.
