Abstract: (1025 Views)
Aims: In the past years, the increase in economic pressures and the shrinking of families and the motivation to live a simple life have caused an increase in the demand for small-scale houses. The purpose of this research is to identify the framework and ranking of flexibility components that can be effective in small-scale housing.
Methods: In this research, using the descriptive-analytical method, the effective components in the design of flexible small-scale houses were identified and the conceptual framework of the research was confirmed using the Delphi method. Then, using the survey method, these components were ranked in the 10th district of Isfahan through Shannon's entropy test. The statistical population includes three groups of experts, architectural experts and the public, whose opinions have been compared and analyzed using comparative analogy.
Findings: The research findings show that the components that are important from the point of view of all three groups include: multi-functional spaces, mezzanine spaces, adaptable facade with variable uses, use of shallow plans with rectangular geometry, movable furniture according to ergonomics and movable partitions according to It is ergonomic.
Conclusion: In the end, it can be concluded that among the identified components, several components such as partitions and movable furniture are compatible with human ergonomics and adaptable view, and modern technology is an important tool to achieve them.
