Abstract :
    Human activities in the environment form a complex system that has different aspects and has been addressed by different theoretical approaches. These approaches are common in focusing on the general concept, namely the quality of life in the man-made environment, and this reveals the necessity of addressing the capabilities of the built environment. The possibility of establishing desirable collective interactions at different family and collective levels and in different areas of residential environments from the private space inside the house to the public space around the house indicates an aspect of the qualities of the man-made environment that has been explored in this research and architectural approaches and solutions have been presented in different areas. The importance of the subject is that establishing social interaction is considered as a human need that we are required to respond to, and failure to respond appropriately will cause problems for humans. The aim of the research is to examine architectural fields that, by organizing the living environment to increase social connections, increase the sense of belonging to the environment and thus are effective in improving the quality of life. The positive impact of creating defensible spaces, extending part of private life to the public environment, and increasing the time people spend in public environments on increasing social connections are the hypotheses analyzed in this study. The study begins by presenting a theoretical stance on social interactions and then ends with a conclusion about which part of the design process in building a residential complex is most effective in terms of interaction.
