ABSTRACT
The place serves as a haven for people and their interactions and activities. Through their interactions and attachments, humans imbue a location with significance and worth. Place attachment, which is the most tangible and important aspect of the mutual interaction between people and place, is something that urban designers must take into account. The general problem of the research was the loss of value and importance of urban places due to urban expansion and housing problems, particularly in vertical residential complexes. Thus, the aim of the research work was to evaluate the effect of the social and physical features of open places in vertical residential complexes on enhancing place attachment. The research used a common methodology by discussing previous literature and extracting the main vocabulary to build the conceptual framework for each. First, social activities and relationships, along with psychological and demographic characteristics, form the social aspects. Second, formal and functional features characterize the material aspects. And then, the research hypothesis was tested on the chosen case study site (Bismayah Residential Complex), where questionnaires were distributed to 180 people; the information was collected and analyzed using a statistical program (IBM SPSS Statistics), and the final results and conclusions were reached, identifying variables and indicators of the physical and social dimensions of urban places that contribute to enhancing place attachment.
