factor analysis method

Nowadays, the process of planning and design of residential complexes in Iran is done without regard to the relationship and process of adaptive evolution with nature, the result of which is an instability in biomass and the destruction of nature and environment. To overcome this problem in the contemporary decade, the biophilic approach has been raised which is the positive feeling of humans towards living beings. This study is one of the topics related to the nature of human nature towards manifestations of life which are known as the biophilic hypothesis of life. From the terminology of terminology, the term biophilia means loving life or system of life" and for the first time was used by the forum to explain a cognitive orientation in regard to "the attractiveness of everything that is alive. In this study, a survey and analysis method has been used to survey and prioritize architectural components in the design and planning of residential complexes. The findings show that factors 1. Environmental characteristics include color, water, air, natural light, plants, animals, natural materials, eyes first, and then respectively 1. The evolution of human and nature relations, 2. Normal form and form 3. Patterns and processes, 4. Light and space and 5. On the other hand, priority based on location of scheduling and design of residential complexes is first priority.

Paying attention to issues related to evaluation, decision making and selection has beenone of the most controversial topics today, and in most cases, not only all the factorsinfluencing the evaluation and selection are not considered, but also the set of factors andvariables considered are not agreed upon by experts. Hence, in this research the issueof identifying factors and variables effective in increasing productivity in the field ofrestoration and reuse of historic buildings has been addressed, and the research is basedon the question that what factors should be considered in order to increase productivityin the evaluation and selection of restoration projects and reuse of historical houses inIran and how important is each of the factors? According to this, the purpose of theresearch is identifying effective variables in evaluating and selectiong restoration projectsand reuse of historic houses with the approach of increasing efficiency and determiningdegree of importance in restoration and reuse of historical houses. In this manuscriptby taking advantage of survey research and through the preparation of questionnaire,experts’ views and opinions on the subject were collected and after doing the validationby factor analysis method, the variables were allowed to be extracted entitled “EffectiveFactors of increasing efficiency and Restoration of Iran Houses”. Each factor was derivedfrom several independent variables and was ranked depending on their significance. Theresults of the questionnaire analysis revealed eight main factors associated with increasingefficiency in houses including: “Protecting Values”, “Efficiency Management”, “Support”,“Uses Determination (Revival)”, “General principles of protection”, “Maintenance”,“Adaptation”, “Execution (Restoration)”. Among the factors determined, “ProtectingValues” gained the most importance. Finally, by obtaining the reliability coefficient ofeach of the factors, it was possible to evaluate and select the restoration projects andincrease their productivity and obtain the total factors agreed upon by the experts.

In the twenty-first century, cities face a lot of turmoil. The City Prosperity model, presented by United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat) in 2012, offers a new approach to urban flourishing and sustainability, and it is looking for a fundamental solution to improve the quality of life. This article focuses on measuring the quality of life in the Narmak neighborhood of Tehran based on the extended model of City Prosperity Index (CPI-QL) which leads to the creation of an indigenous pattern for developing and improving the quality of life in cities. The proposed model can be very effective in fulfillment of sustainable urban development, improving the quality of life and measuring the prosperity situation of cities in Iran and it can be presented as an indigenous and developed example of the global City prosperity model, which is a reliable measure for reviewing, analyzing and prioritizing urban actions. The method of data collection is through a questionnaire that is measured in the Narmak neighborhood of Tehran. Considering the wide range of indexes in this research, to summarize and achieve the main factors, the factor analysis method has been used for analyzing the data.
