| The life has a definition beyond every day activities. Postmodernism has recently provided a context to increase versatility in both cities and neighborhoods in order to improve not only the power of choice of citizens but also the quality of urban life. Studies indicates that although neighborhood, as a minimized scheme of a society, had functioned as an autonomous fabric in traditional urban planning of Iran due to its settlement, work, entertainment and transport functions appropriate to people’s needs, recent urban planning has declined neighborhoods to residential environments by differentiating urban functions and concentrating them in special centers.
Thus, this study is designed to investigate the role of functional diversity in residential satisfaction by comparing Narmak neighborhood (high functional diversity) and Tehranpars (low functional diversity). In order to achieve this goal, quantitative and qualitative methods were used. Data is collected by survey and documentary methods. In addition, stratified sampling is used as sampling method. Data were analyzed by Importance satisfaction rate and variation finding methods. The population for this study according to population of 1385 is 178308(Total Population NARMAK and Tehran Pars) and Sample size by using Cochran's formula(95%)is 383 persons. A two-stage cluster sampling is done. At first according to the area and population of NARMAK and Tehran Pars research area split into three clusters, include: Tehran Pars, NARMAK in Eastern and Western NARMAK. After that, according to the residents of these clusters and the aim the article(residential satisfaction measurement of neighborhoods) the clusters were separated into 10 sub-clusters. So that, Tehran Pars contains three clusters: Pleiades neighborhood, community and neighborhood Rashid Seminary Eastern NARMAK three clusters include: neighborhood Dardasht (Metro School), neighborhood Dardasht (October), Neighborhood Telephone and Western NARMAK four clusters including : Samangan, Neighborhood prophecy, Golestan district and neighborhood were segregated mandate. In the next step, based on quota sampling (classification), the number of samples required in each cluster are identified. Thus, the ratio of population to the total population of the study area was calculated for the first three clusters. Multiplying the ratio of the number 383 (the total number of samples), samples required in Tehran Pars (99), NARMAK East (136) and Western NARMAK (148), respectively.
The results of this study show that the improvement of residential satisfaction cannot be reached exclusively through emphasizing on residential indexes. The key to success is to increase the functional diversity of neighborhood by empowering other functions. Even though, the importance and preference of each one of these functions is different in diverse urban locations and fabrics. Prior to changing the concept of home, which has the greatest effect on people's residential satisfaction, it is required to reinforce work opportunities in Narmakand and transportation accessibility in Tehranpars. In addition, it seems that providing a responsive atmosphere to people’s requirements can be the only way to reach this goal. |
