Abstract
Study of populations with similar cultural traits and lifestyles usually determines the requirements of the future residents of residential complexes that their future residents are unknown. Compatibility and harmony between human factors and physical patterns may lead to design residential environments encouraging residents to have behaviors appropriate to social life and residence tradition. A balance between privacy and social interactions is an essential issue that can be achieved by physical elements in social and personal context of every society based on its own cultural values. The present study aimed to provide a correct and comprehensive research on privacy and social interactions in residential complexes built in new towns. In other words, knowing these factors can help us to design environments physically suitable for interactions between residents and creation of private spaces for them. In design of new towns, for different reasons, privacy and social interactions are ignored. This causes distance and distrust among residents of these towns and also a lack of sense of belonging to their own home and town. For this reason, the present paper studied factors contributing to privacy and social interactions between residential complexes residents in new towns and proposed some solutions to improve these factors in order to move towards optimal architecture.
