Description
Summary:A large body of studies was conducted on lifestyle in housing, but no comprehensive model has been designed and presented to address all components of lifestyle-related housing. To this aim, a systematic review study was selected in this study. A list of articles with housing and lifestyle was identified by searching the databases. The reviewers identified 41 studies that met our inclusion criteria. The quality of the selected articles was evaluated using the CASP checklist. The selected articles were coded by content analysis method through which 34 lifestyle components in the form of eight cultural, psychological, ideology, demographic, economic, social, behavioral and political indicators and 21 residential components in the form of three indicators related to the attribute building, exterior structure and interior structure of the building were extracted. Then using the Shannon entropy method, the components of geographical location, type of house, and neighborhood about housing and household composition, activity, and type of occupation in lifestyle were most important. Based on the findings, less attention was paid to residents' cultural and psychological issues. Issues such as furniture design, home decoration, and the relationship between the interior spaces with lifestyle are less explored than other residential components.
