بررسی مدل ساختاری رابطه کیفیت فضای بینابین با شاخص های کیفی در مسکن (نمونه موردی: مجتمع های مسکونی شهر شیراز)

The in-between space is very important as a connector between the private and public spheres.Defining space by dividing it to inside and outside is one of human’s ways to recognize his position in environment. In architecture, this refers to the voids or gaps between the solid elements of a building or structure. These spaces can be functional and aesthetic, serving various purposes, such as providing ventilation, natural light, and circulation This intermediate arena has been present in the residential architecture of Iran in the past and is clearly visible due to the respect of the hierarchical position of the architectural spaces. Today, unfortunately, due to the structural changes, the presence of this field in residential spaces has disappeared or has become very weak. Therefore, according to the position and importance of this intermediate platform, this research investigates the intermediate field and its relationship with the quality indicators of housing in the residential complex of Shiraz. The meaning of qualitative indicators in this research is the concepts of "privacy and territory", "identity", "security", "social interaction".

In this research, first by reviewing the history of the subject, related concepts and theories were analyzed. In order to evaluate the theoretical model, seven complexes were selected from among the investigated residential complexes and appropriate questionnaires were distributed among them. It should be noted that this research is quantitative and is an applied research. To test the research hypotheses through structural equations and path analysis, the information was transferred to Amos software. Then the research model was tested and the research hypotheses were examined based on the test results.

The results of the research show that the quality of the interspace has a direct relationship with the quality indicators in the residential complexes of Shiraz. Also, despite the direct effects of the quality of the interspace on predictor variables, the quality variable indirectly affects the quality variables in housing.
