Abstract:   (1502 Views)
The concept of "housing" as one of the most significant buildings located in the city is doubly important; In fact, housing, in addition to covering a wider area among other urban uses, encompasses the most hours spent in people's lives. All this while, for a long time, "home" has been  associated with Iranians with traditional and original cultural values and has enjoyed a sacred status for every person. At the same time, the development of modern housing in the country, under the influence of Western architectural style, preferences and manner and, consequently, the contemporary needs of individuals, has undergone a significant conceptual change. The present study,  was conducted using descriptive-analytical method and with a qualitative paradigm and Islamic realism approach, employs an inductive process that will explain the multiple factors affecting the impact and appropriateness of housing development and modern urban lifestyle. Thus, through semi-structured interviews at the expert level, it tries to examine the changes in the concept of housing in accordance with the new urban lifestyle and in terms of the Islamic approach. The findings, which revolve around three key questions, reveal that the concept of housing today, rather than being influenced by its relevance to the content of the new urban lifestyle, is guided more by economic factors, utilitarian views, personal interests and financial expediency of individuals. The result of this process is the construction of houses significantly diverge from the traditional concept of the home, lacking many concepts of Islamic housing development. However, it seems that adhering to some of the original values and beliefs of society, such as privacy, avoiding overlooking other houses and respecting the neighbor, in any case, plays a crucial role in people's preferences and in choosing a house, and people try to optimize their preferences by balancing their financial strength with such features in the chosen home. Ultimately, the modern concept of "home" is a social construct that reflects the identity of the individual today, his financial ability and the cultural values that govern society. This concept, in accordance with the economic capability of the individual along with the codified criteria of urban housing development, can incorporate more original and appropriate values of "home" concept in the content of an Iranian-Islamic city.
