Abstract

The low-income sections of the society have usually been neglected in terms of having desirable residential facilities. Meanwhile, the impact of environmental factors such as housing is one of the most important factors affecting the mental health of residents.

The aim of the current research is to achieve the components of improving mental health in low-income housing. Now the question is raised that what is the role of housing in the health of residents and how can this approach be used in the study of low-income housing.

To answer this question in the present combined research which is descriptive-analytical, in order to collect information from the library-documentary method as well as the field method in the form of a questionnaire and conducting interviews with the residents of Andisheh town of Tabriz city through the post-exploration method based on the extractive model in the target area of this study has been used.

The result of the research indicates that improving the mental health of residents in low-income housing depends on the total physical, environmental, economic, social, functional and structural dimensions. These dimensions, as key factors, play a fundamental role in the planning and design of low-income housing, therefore, through the involvement of extractive dimensions in the planning and design of low-income housing, we will witness a positive and effective trend in the mental health of residents, especially in the housing of vulnerable groups.
