Abstract
Today, due to the rapid growth of the world's population and its concentration in cities, the concept of
sustainable urban development has been proposed as a basic component affecting the long-term vision of
human societies, and housing and related issues are a global issue, and planners and policy makers in
different countries are looking for solutions to solve the related issues. Due to the fact that housing is one
of the most important urban uses, it is necessary to design the residential environment properly so that, in
addition to greater productivity and security, the correct use of renewable and clean energy causes the
least damage to the environment. In this regard, in this research, the components of sustainable housing in
Salmas city have been investigated. The type of applied research and its method is descriptive-analytical.
To analyze the data, SPSS software and sample t-tech statistical tests, step-by-step regression and oneway variance analysis were used. The results of the investigation of the components of sustainable
housing in Salmas show that the physical component has the highest rank with an average of 2.95,
followed by the environmental component with an average of 2.91 and the social component with an
average of 2.76 and the access component with an average of 2.46, and finally, the economic component
with an average of 2.03 has taken the last rank, these results show the great contribution of physical and
environmental components in the sustainable housing of Salmas city and the least impact on housing the
stability of this city is related to the economic component. In addition, the overall average of all
