Mehr Housing is one of the most important and extensive urban housing projects in Iran that has been implemented throughout the history of planning in this country. The success of this project depends on the level of satisfaction of the people who use it. Residential satisfaction is one of the most important criteria in measuring the quality of the residential environment. In fact, a good quality environment brings satisfaction to residents through its specific characteristics. Several studies have been conducted so far regarding the satisfaction of residents with Mehr Housing, each of which has addressed a specific aspect of this issue and shown different results. Therefore, due to the diversity of methods and results obtained, there is a need for a comprehensive and integrated analysis.
