Abstract
Today’s life in cities is faced with many challenges. Old and traditional neighborhoods are not suitable in new situations and on the other hand new neighborhoods developed in last decades got far from human criteria. All of these problems show themselves in living and residential environments in these neighborhoods. This paper is seeking to identify the components of the residential environment quality and assessment this concept in traditional (Sanglaj) and new (Naft) environments and neighborhood areas in Tehran.
The method used in this research is an objective-subjective approach in which assessment of environmental quality is implemented by inhabitant’s understand and objective characteristics. For each assessment method a database is prepared by questionary in subjective assessment and spatial database in objective assessment. To analyze subjective data statistics methods (correlations, multiple regressions …) and for objective data spatial analysis are used.
The assessment results indicate that subjective and objective qualities of environment in new neighborhood are higher than in traditional one. But analysis of components shows that each neighborhood is better in some indicators. Functional-structural criteria in traditional neighborhood and physical-spatial criteria in new neighborhoods have better position. The variations between subjective and objective indicators are more in new neighborhood. It shows the higher prospect of inhabitants of new neighborhood.
