Abstract

Qualitative aspects of housing environment have gained great interest in recent housing research. Research interest has shifted from environmental performance to psycho-social and spatial quality characteristics which can be measured by users' subjective evaluations. This paper discusses quality characteristics of outdoor spaces. A model is developed to define basic dimensions of environmental quality, combining psycho-social and spatial quality characteristics. Environmental quality is thoroughly and comprehensively investigated for outdoor spaces in a research project which was conducted in Istanbul in the open spaces of three housing areas constructed with mass production techniques, having different socioeconomic and spatial characteristics.¹ Findings of visual investigations which were supported by statistical findings are presented for each mass-housing area comparatively.
