Abstract

The contemporary living crisis that is rooted in disconnection from historical period and context culture has led to a housing crisis, the sign of which can be seen in the changed quality of life of residents living on newly-built fabrics. This qualitative level results in some differences between these two fabrics, which may reduce the mental and social security of contemporary residents. In this research, the null hypothesis assumes that the study of historical fabric and comparing it with the contemporary era are proper contexts used to create security in residential structures. Hence, this study aims to recognize the values available in traditional housing using effective components to provide some strategies to cope with this crisis. The present paper investigated the security rate of individuals comparatively and then identified the factors affecting housing quality. Comparison between houses located in Dezful was done based on the Kerry Walk method, and security was examined using field observations, a survey in the fabric, and library studies. Moreover, the research test included measurement of household weight based on the Entropy-Shannon method and data assessment based on the Vicor Analytical Model in two considered fabrics. Finally, the deductive logic method was used to reach a conclusion and propose some strategies to improve the quality of architecture. Studies indicated that the security rate (71.4%) in traditional housing satisfies the need of residents more than its value (28.6%) in the contemporary era. Although some security-creating variables exist in contemporary housing, security-providing indicators in this housing include visual and environmental comfort, spaces' legibility, economy and income level of households, monitoring and surveillance, privacy, space's dimension, and space perception.
