Abstract

Aims: The present study aimed to regenerate the cultural components in the physical factors development in line with the design of residential spaces (Case study of Damghan). The present study can be considered as a descriptive correlation and field research.
Methodology: The statistical population of this study included two groups of experts and ordinary people. After extracting the  indicators and components of physical and cultural factors as a questionnaire to confirm the indicators, the desired questionnaire was given to ten experts and the third round of the Delphi method was performed after collecting the answers of members, and the acceptable agreement was obtained in the third round of Delphi method. To evaluate the validity of the questionnaire, face, and qualitative validity methods were used. After the validity confirmation by experts, the reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed, with Cronbach’s alpha value higher than 0.7. Then, a simple random questionnaire was selected and distributed among 384 people in Damghan.
Findings: The results showed that the coefficients of independent variables for cultural characteristics are equal to 0.083, qualitative norms are equal to 0.09 for cultural communications and interactions are equal to 0.40, respectively. The t-statistic value for one independent variables is greater than the standard value (1.96.), and this value according to (sig. = 0.000) at the 95% confidence level is significant, so it can be said that among the dimensions and cultural components effective in the design of residential spaces, only one dimension of communication and cultural interactions are effective, but the effect of cultural characteristics and qualitative norms on the design of residential space is not significant.
Conclusion: The findings of this research showed that physical factors had a positive effect on the design of residential space. But the effect of cultural characteristics and qualitative norms on residential space design was not significant.
