“…In recent years, satisfaction has been propounded the most fundamental criterion in appraising quality of life. The underpinning literature review comprised, amongst others, works by Zhang and Zheng (2019), Huang et al (2018), Kooshali et al (2015), Auliaa and Ismail (2013), Jansen (2012), Dekker et al (2011), Feijten and Van Ham (2009), Baker (2008), Chapman and Lombard (2006), Clark et al (2006), Lu (1999), Van (1997), Amérigo and Aragonés (1997). Galster (1985) defined environmental quality as the measurement of an environment by the level of feeling of well-being and satisfaction it transfers to its population via its physical, social and symbolic characteristics.…”

“…There are a set of studies such as Kooshali et al (2015) and El-Ekhteyar and Furlan (2016), whose confirmed that water and green elements (trees and gardens) are fundamental to the enjoyment of any natural view, and the beneficial effects of relaxation and restoration (Saiedlue et al, 2015). Bonenberg (2015) states that public open space yields significant features for an increased quality of life such as psychological and physical health, entertainment and fulfilling the need for an interesting urban environment.…”

“…Additionally, Nasution and Zahrah (2014) points out that pools give freshness to the environment and green elements such as trees, gardens and vegetation provide health benefits. Natural light is a key consideration in the changing nature of interior space in buildings (Kooshali et al, 2015), hence, perception of public open spaces will impact positively on the quality of life.…”

Purpose Non-gated residential communities (NGR) are now becoming significant in Jordan resulting in an increase in low and medium-income areas. This study aims to investigate the sense of community at residential level within NGR by testing the characteristics presented in the first and largest non-gated community in Jordan (Al-Sharq project). Design/methodology/approach Such characteristics were identified via literary reviews and visual data collected through site visits, observation and photographs of the project's physical settings. This formed the basis of a questionnaire/survey that was distributed to the residents. This research depends on the mixed-method approach (qualitative and quantitative) to achieve the research objectives. The quantitative method involved the use of a questionnaire/survey, while the qualitative method undertook a comparative process using some statistical methods for the main characteristics. The results were analysed by using descriptive statistics, comprising frequency and factor analyses. Findings The study concludes with a framework consisting of suggestions and recommendations to remove the main constraints on improving the quality of life for the non-gated residential community. Practical implications The outcome of this study will influence the decisions made by the parties involved in urban development in Jordan when designing residential neighborhoods. Originality/value The significance of this paper is that while the majority of studies have been on the evaluation of gated communities in developing countries, there have only been a limited of studies specifically examining the experience of residents in those environments. Therefore, this paper contributes and adds to the existing knowledge in the development of non-gated communities in a developing country.

The city of Cairo - since the beginning of the third millennium - has witnessed a constructional expansion of new cities for people of class A to live within gated communities, which provide luxury and safety. This research aims to identify the tangible and intangible needs from the occupants’ and the interior designer’s perspective, due to the diversity of these needs. The identification of these demands may help to clarify the requirements provided by the large construction companies, which will highlight the role of the interior designer in the design process of the residential units.

“…The spatial value has the close relationship to the spatial quality that identified as view, privacy, lighting, spatiality, spatial arrangements, the transition between public and private spaces, and perceived, built, and human densities [1]. In its conceptual meaning, a house bears such notions as tranquility, peace of mind, spiritual and metal as well as local safety that full fill these needs [7]. From sociology and psychology literature, values are typically conceptualized as fundamental ideas and enduring principles that inform peoples' judgments [3]; [10]; [13].…”

Many houses around Mlangi Muslim settlement refer to the historical aspect of settlement in its spatial layout as the Moslem settlements. Mlangi well known as Kampung Santri - village with many of Islamic Boarding Schools (Pondok Pesantren in Indonesia term) where students live in there- since 1920an. This paper will describe how the spatial value of local houses around Islamic Boarding Schools in Mlangi Moslem settlements. The naturalistic-phenomenology method was the research method for data collection. Data got from subsequent interview after the appearance theme from one research object to the next. Any argument that correlated with the spatial value grouped as the same theme and analyzed as the substantive concept about the spatial value in the houses. The room layout from each home drawn one by one as the existing condition and the value of the room got from the comments of the owner. Cross-checking information technic from the members in the house helped the research to mention many spatial values in-house and then conclude as the room concept and its correlation to the stigma as the Kampung Santri and Moslem Settlements. It also compares the similarity of the indoor room layout and zone in Pondok Pesantren. From existing condition and interviews found that all the houses have the similar function and room layout with the Pondok Pesantren around it. 6 observed houses and 15 interviewed owners stated that they want to make their house as the places and spaces for teaching holy Al Qur'an same like in Pondok Pesantren. That is like a dream come true if a house can hold any recitation and teach holy Al Qur'an and Islamic Knowledge to the neighbor. From this condition, researchers conclude that there is close relation about the significance building in one settlement to their neighbor building, not only in the activity in each house but also in room layout and zone. Religious value and people understanding and dream about the ideal space even get impact from it.
