Abstract

Generally, residential building standards cover numerous aspects or phases of the building process. Instances are planning standards, design standards, space standards, and technical building standards. This study concentrates on space standards and their effect on the functionality of low-income family housing interior spaces in low-rise residential complexes in Sulaimani. This addresses the minimum area standards of living-dining spaces as one of the most significant indicators of architectural space standards and its consideration for achieving the spatial functionality of interior spaces in low-income residential complexes in Sulaimani. This research seeks to determine how spatial standards affect the functionality of living-dining areas. The first hypothesis is that architectural area standards consideration has a significant impact on the achievement of primary functions in the living-dining rooms of low-rise apartments designed for low-income families in Sulaimani city. The second hypothesis is that architectural area standards achievement has a significant impact on the achievement of secondary functions in the living-dining room of low-rise apartments designed for low-income families in Sulaimani city. Appearance of practically inefficient living-dining areas in the low-rise apartments of Sulaimani's residential complexes is a prominent problem. The particular problem is the lack of some of these primary and secondary functions in the Living-dining room 's inner spaces of low-rise apartments in Sulaimani. This research realized that there are the significant effect of spatial standards considerations and functionality achievements. Also addressed the positive relationship between architectural spatial standards consideration and primary-secondary functionality achievements.
