Abstract
As affordable housing is designed with the aim of affordability, the qualitative and quantitative criteria are often not considered together. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the relationship between quantity and quality in affordable housing. The first step involved extracting the qualitative and quantitative criteria, their frequency and the importance coefficients using a descriptive methodology and through Shannon entropy testing. Next, the scoring regulations for plan analysis were developed based on design strategies derived through survey (organized interviews). Then 9 Selected plans in Parand New City were assessed by specialists in accordance with the regulations. Finally, the relationship between the area and the quality of the selected qualitative plans was analyzed. The findings revealed that the public zone plays a key role in selected one and three-bedroom units, while in two-bedroom units, the service zone is of greater importance. In conclusion, contrary to common belief, increasing the area does not necessarily result in higher quality.
