The aim of this research is the study of the role of children satisfaction of open spaces in residential in the form of causal model. This research method is correction study with the design on the structural model relation. 147 parents settling in Shahid Fallahi and Omid complexes in Tehran, were selected by Random cluster Sampling. They were asked to cite their own believes on open-spaced complexes included in the 57 questionnaires. Validity of the Instrument Calculated by Content method and the understudying constructs showed that the instrument had a proper validity. Also, reliability ratio of instrument was calculated approximately α =0.954. Direct and indirect effects of variables on satisfaction of residential complexes of open space were calculated through path analysis and regression methods. Results showed that the factors to satisfaction of residing children in residential complexes to follow the direct and indirect relationships. Variables such as natural factors (herbal covering), Space form, Ergonomics have direct effect on children satisfaction of residential open space, and the other variables like flexibility child's play tools, visual stimuli factors have indirect effects on the children satisfaction of residential open space.
