Abstract EN
Man is the core of any study and his needs, inspirations, and contributions are the main motive for scientists and researchers.
Man’s daily life is directly affected by the surrounding environment, as the daily contact with nature is essential for his psychological health.
In this context, houses are essential, as people devote much of their effort, time, and money to rearrange, and decorate their living spaces.
Correspondingly, these living spaces have a great effect on their owners.
Some Communities make an outstanding contribution to the ‘‘big picture” of the environmental scene where ‘Identity’ is a major element; this picture (=environment) affects its inhabitants (=stakeholders) directly and indirectly.
Stakeholders should feel involved in the environment they live in or deal with, and closely attached to its elements to obtain a comfortable urban space.
Identity plays a major role in giving this feeling to each user of that space: especially the most common used spaces by all of us: the ‘urban residential spaces’.
Thus, this research will focus on the existence of ’identity’ in urban spaces of different residential compounds in order to find answers for the following questions: Is identity reflected in urban spaces of residential compounds? Do the design elements used by the urban designers reflect identity? if yes, what are the key design elements (to be used as criteria) and their priorities? An empirical study will go through different projects in Egypt in order to find the needed answers
