  ABSTRACT: Evaluating the degree of residential satisfaction with spontaneous settlements entails a large number of factors. The present study is conducted aiming to specify social variables affecting RS in spontaneous settlements and the impact on housing prices. To do so, structural modeling and regression methods were utilized to assess research hypotheses. The survey was conducted on 200 respondents residing in Qaemiyeh residence located around Tehran. The results of structural modeling confirmed that a sense of belonging, a sense of security, neighbors’ conformity and social interactions have respectively manifested specific effects on residential satisfaction (RS). Moreover, the factor of participation in local society has not shown a significant index of effectiveness on RS, nullifying the relative hypothesis. These findings imply that the formation of the appropriate social environment along with proper social interactions among residents can compensate for the physical shortcomings of the place of residence, leading to creating RS. The results also clarified that residents’ satisfaction with the social constituents of their residence had explained 12.8% of the housing price soaring in spontaneous settlements.
