Abstract
© 2009, Nicolás Pierry Dagnino. All rights reserved.
The following study examines the relationship between the house and its neighborhood architecture, with their resident’s mental health and identity, through a questionnaire which was specially designed and validated to assess this fact. The “Psychological Resident Satisfaction Questionnaire" © (SRNP) developed by MPsy. Nicolás Pierry, evaluates different physical and social-symbolic elements from the housing environment, that intercede on human activities, that allow to satisfy psychological and basic needs like: survival, safety, belongingness, self-esteem and identity. The creation, development, validation process and interpretation norms are presented. These results where taken from 207 people that live in different house types and socioeconomic conditions, including social houses and camps in Santiago city. The Survey demonstrated to be reliable on its measurements regarding resident satisfaction, psychological needs and identity; and also, suitable in its construct and convergent validity. With these results, it was possible to confirm that the different elements of the house and neighborhood's architecture do have an effect on mental health and identity; consequently, these mental health criterions are relevant in assessing degrees of residential satisfaction. This way, the questionnaire is useful to bring out new indicators to assess resident satisfaction and also contribute with a new perspective to understand and solve the housing quality problem in Chile.
Key Words: Architecture, Identity, Mental Health, Psychological Needs, Resident Satisfaction, Social Houses.
