Abstract

Housing is one of the important urban uses. Housing, as a fundamental concept, is initially defined as a physical unit that provides a specific and limited space for residence. But housing also has other dimensions; it is at home that people experience a sense of security, peace, and intimacy and form their individual and social identity. Sustainable housing pays attention not only to the physical aspects of housing, but also to its social, economic, and environmental dimensions. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the components of sustainable housing in the city of Kirkuk. The research method is descriptive-analytical and is also practical in terms of purpose. Library and survey methods were used to collect data. SPSS software and one-sample t-tests, stepwise regression, and one-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the data. The results of examining the components of sustainable housing in the city of Kirkuk indicate that; The accessibility component had the highest rank with an average of 2.94, followed by the economic component in second place with an average of 2.83, the social component in third place with an average of 2.65, the physical component with an average of 2.51, and finally the environmental component with an average of 2.42. The result of the stepwise regression test showed that the environmental component with a beta of 0.301 has the highest impact and the economic component with a beta of 0.205 has the lowest impact on the sustainable housing situation in Kirkuk
