Abstract
A residence strongly influences the lifestyle of its
occupants a nd may be a determining factor for
the family's quality of life. To maintain the
comfort and well-being of its occupants, each
dwelling should be adequate for the household.
The dwelling should therefore provide a
habitable and comfortable environment. Housing
space standards in many countries set the
conditions for achieving these objectives and
generally regulate the overall sizes of individual
rooms in addition to the layouts of dwellings.
This paper seeks to explore the relationship
between habitable area ratios and other
component area ratios, such as the structure area,
the service area, the circulation area and the open
space area, in the context of Iraqi single-family
houses. Therefore, this study aims to answer two
key questions: Is the habitable area ratio among
other ratios compatible with I raqi housing
standards? And does it affect the performance of
the units? To this end, the paper adopted a
methodology for calculating each area ratio in
several newly established complexes in
Sulaimaniya City and their relatio nship to the
size of different plot areas for assessing the
habitability and efficiency of different house plot
areas.
Keywords: Habitability, Habitable area ratio,
Iraqi housing, Residential Standardization,
Single-family house.
