| Through the large number of charity housing projects that have been implemented in Riyadh over the past years it was necessary to conduct an evaluation study to determine the satisfaction of beneficiaries for the design of the housing units in these charitable projects. King Salman Association for charity Housing has been selected as a case study for this study due to its largest number of charitable housing projects constructed in Riyadh. This research comes due to differences in the design of charity housing units in spite of the similarity of beneficiaries characteristics، and the study aims to measure the degree of satisfaction of necessary needs for those who dwell in the charity housing units in order to know the basic requirements that effects on the level of satisfaction so that it can be provided in future residential units. The study was conducted to measure the satisfaction of beneficiaries for the design of their residential units by comparing between the association's projects in Riyadh (the first compound، the second compound، the third compound، and the fourth compound). The research methodology is divided into two parts: first، the literature review of techniques and methods to measuring satisfaction in housing projects in both global and local cases. Second، is a field study by comparing the satisfaction of the four residential compounds that have been run in the city of Riyadh by comparing scores of satisfaction among the various housing units models. The study showed results to be taken into consideration when designing future housing units as the number of spaces، the area and its relations with each other، visual efficiency to interfaces، environmental aspects of the unit، psychological comfort، and privacy. | ||
