Normally, most of the hours of women's lives are spent in the interior of the house, and the quality of the living space plays a large role in their physical and mental health, so the desirable spatial qualities of apartment houses should be examined from the perspective of the women of the household. The purpose of this research was to understand the qualities of the suitable space for the use and design of the future housing of Bandar Abbas. Identifying the qualities of the living space in apartment houses and ranking the spatial qualities from the perspective of the women of the household. This research was conducted on a qualitative-quantitative combined method that used both library and field research methods. The statistical population of the research is the women of households living in apartment houses in Bandar Abbas city. The research process includes theoretical foundations, Delphi method, researcher-constructed questionnaire and statistical analyzes of the chi-square test group, independent t-test, analysis of variance test, post hoc tests and Friedman's ranking test.The quality of the living space through the findings of theoretical foundations and experts' views and residents' interviews including; "guidance", "spatial opening", "spatial combination", "proportion and scale", "spaciousness", "spatial hierarchy", "spatial relations", "spatial dynamics", " space coziness", " harmony and balance", "spatial separation", "flexibility", "spatial diversity", "spatial differentiation", "spatial integration" and "space nostalgia". Based on the ranking of spatial qualities from the perspective of the women of the household, the quality of "harmony and balance" and then the quality of "proportion and scale" are the highest spatial scale among the qualities of residence and "spatial diversity" and "spatial integration" had the lowest average importance in the quality of living space from the perspective of the research participants.
