Abstract:
Problem statement: In housing development planning, a comprehensive approach
is required. In this approach all elements and components affecting the housing are
considered, the relationships between them are identified and finally a set of different
solutions by prioritizing them should be provided. Locating and examination of the
place where new housing and living environments are built is one of the components
of this comprehensive approach. Therefore, it is essential to provide housing
development strategies tailored for a specific location which are small cities in this
study.
Research objective: The purpose of this article is to provide strategies for proper
housing development, considering the role of these cities in balancing the habitat
system in the codification process of a comprehensive housing development plan.
Research method: In this research, the logical reasoning has been used in the
explanatory section and in the section of presenting strategies analytical-descriptive
method has been used. Documentation methods and field studies have been used to
collect research data.
Conclusion: This study showed that in the specific process using vernacular
architecture principles, strategies for proper housing development can be codified.
These strategies can be divided into four categories: form, function, space, materials
and construction. Proper development in the housing sector contributes to the
sustainable development of small cities and strengthens their role in the regional
development process.
