Abstract

Housing area is one of the aspects affecting the development and housing of people, which is more in small-scale units. The development of small housing in metropolitan areas is related to the economic, socio-cultural and physical spheres. This study tries to identify and prioritize the effectiveness of small-scale housing growth indicators. The research is conducted by using a qualitative method in extracting indicators and collecting residents' opinions along with a quantitative method to determine the effectiveness of independent variables based on a mixed approach. The research question is: What are the indicators that have led to the growth of attention to small-scale housing? What is the effectiveness and prioritization of these indicators based on the views of the residents of small-scale houses in the Nawab area of Tehran? To achieve the goal of the article, among the 22 regions, Nawab area was selected based on criteria such as the frequency of small housing, access to the metro and city bus transportation network, service centers, relative uniformity of architecture and urban planning of the area. The results show that there are 23 components extracted from the subject literature in different areas, seven of which have the most impact and are: cost-effectiveness, balancing the supply and demand of housing, proximity to the city center, prioritizing The quality of the interior, increasing the variety of housing and housing a wider range, optional versus forced choice and the possibility of more savings
