How the layout of residential blocks influences the sense of satisfaction

Sense of satisfaction is one of the concepts that researchers have used to assess people'sunderstanding of place. This study aimed to determine if housing blocks' layout affect whatpeople experience in their immediate surroundings. For this purpose, we chose the Narmak district becauseits unique design allowed us to compare the satisfaction of residents in two special forms: squares andalleys, reducing disturbances as much as possible. At the same time, the scale of these squares and alleyswere diverse. This article maps the neighbourhood's layout and how it affects satisfactionwith the residence, i.e., the sense of belonging, level of noise, etc. This research explainsresidents' perceptions of their community are based on physical, social and personal factors that intertwineand influence residential satisfaction. Findings strongly support the main question asking about theconnection between sense of satisfaction and neighbourhoods' layout. Residents of Squares have moresense of satisfaction than residents of streets and alleys. Outcomes can be carefully factored in planning anddesigning neighbourhoods.
