Abstract

Objective: In a world that is rapidly urbanizing and changing, Sustainable Housing Strategy Considering the negative impacts of urban growth is proposed solutions to minimize urban challenges, especially in relation to housing.This research has investigated the sustainability of housing indicators through quantitative and qualitative method in urban areas by sustainable housing approach
Methods: The present article is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-analytical in nature. The method of collecting documentary-library information is such as the general census of population and housing in 2016 and the detailed plan for 2016. To analyze and analyze the Arc Catalog software for data preparation, the network analysis process model was used to weigh the criteria, and the Todim model and the Moran model were used to measure the stability of quantitative and qualitative housing indicators.
Results:Research findings show, district 5 in region 3‌ (Niksazan, Valiasr, Zafaranieh, Shahryar, Mirdamad, Manzarieh, Laleh, Baharestan, Ansarieh) in terms of housing indicators is very stable. But the district 4‌in region‌6‌(Golshahr Kazemieh) and other low and middle-income regions areas such as district‌3‌in region‌1‌(Islam Abad), district 5 in region 2‌(Bisim), district 2‌in region‌1 (Fatemieh, Shohada, Golgek Abad) are low stable. Totally, ‌27.5% of houses are very stable, ‌16.1% have low stability, ‌21.3% have a moderate stability, 11.6% have a high stability, and‌23.5% are very stable, which shows the instability of housing in all‌25 districts of Zanjan City. ‌Also, the findings of the Moran Index shows that the spatial distribution of sustainability of quantitative and qualitative indicators of housing in‌25 districts of Zanjan City has a cluster pattern, Indicates a clear gap in terms of the sustainability of quantitative and qualitative indicators of housing in Zanjan‌25 districts
Conclusion: Therefore, in order to take the necessary measures to reduce spatial inequalities in the quality and quantity of housing in Zanjan city areas, it seems necessary to develop a codified program based on spatial justice to reduce its inequalities.
