Problem statement: The open spaces of residential complexes occupy part of the time and environment of the residents’ daily life, and improving the quality of these spaces can be effective in mental health, strengthening social interactions, vitality, etc. In this research, the factors affecting the improvement of the quality and effectiveness of the open spaces of residential complexes have been examined, and in this regard, using the descriptive-survey research method, some effective factors in improving the quality of these spaces that should be considered in the design of these complexes have been presented. Aims: The aim of this study is to investigate the effective components in improving the quality and effectiveness of open spaces in the Sepidar residential complex in Urmia.
Methods: Leveraging a descriptive-survey research methodology, this study delves into the identification and prioritization of critical factors that effectively contribute to the enhancement of the quality of open spaces in residential complexes. The research population encompasses the residents of the Sepidar residential complex in Urmia. To analyze the data gathered from 298 questionnaires, the study initially employed SPSS software. Subsequently, structural equations were analyzed using the second-order factor analysis method with AMOS software.
Findings: Based on the research findings, it is imperative to emphasize that the design of open spaces in residential complexes should be meticulously crafted to foster a sense of security among residents while simultaneously cultivating a profound sense of belonging to the community. The design should prioritize the creation of legible spaces adorned with verdant vegetation, complemented by appropriate lighting and furnishings. Additionally, the spaces should be adaptable to accommodate diverse uses and activities. Furthermore, these open spaces should serve as catalysts for fostering group participation, collaborative endeavors, and opportunities for meaningful social interactions.
Conclusion: Based on the results of the research, it can be said that the component of social interactions with a total effect of 0.924 has the greatest effect in creating effectiveness and improving the quality of the environment, followed by flexibility of space with 0.903, a sense of belonging to a place 0.864, and a sense of security 0.812, lighting and furniture 0.791, green space and vegetation 0.706 and legibility of space with 0.631 have been the most effective components in improving the quality of open spaces in residential complexes
