Variables had related to attitudes toward participatory housing, but the entertainment (pleasure and happiness) of use participatory housing and the development of Internet networks have a positive effect on attitudes. The charm and curiosity gained from this kind of lifestyle and the  relationship network created through the development of Internet networks, lead to more opportunities for individuals. In many ways, relationship networking, leading to creation and development of business opportunities. Because, that creates more options of accommodation and diversity in choosing the place and facing different prices and a better attitude towards the participatory housing. Also, the type of attitude has affects on desire of individuals to use participatory housing. Then, the effect of gender was examined on the variables of attitude and willingness of people to use of participatory housing. Findings showed that the gender of respondents had no effect on their attitude. And only, the gender had affect on stability. As a result, people have a better attitude and a greater desire for participatory housing due to lack of social relationships and access to more pleasant times.
