Abstract The intricate relationship between individuals’ psychological experiences and their interaction with the built environment holds significant implications for urban space syntax. The lack of positive communication between humans and the urban spaces arises when designers overlook humanity’s role during the design process. When urban designers fail to consider the role of humanity in the design process, it leads to a lack of positive communication between humans and the urban spaces. This oversight impacts individuals’ well-being and quality of life, particularly through the lens of social spatial sustainability. This study aims to delve into the complex nexus The relationship between the form of urban housing and human behavior. Through delving into the complexities of human actions in relation to their surroundings and recognizing the elements that impact it, it is believed that improving the quality of space architecture can strengthen residents’ connection to their constructed environment, ultimately raising their level of contentment with their living conditions. Higher levels of social spatial sustainability can be attained by the combined influence of increased sense of community, sense of belonging, and sense of place. The study aims to establish a connection between human behavior and the physical built environment with regards to the sense of community, sense of belonging, and sense of place. To achieve this, the study conducts its analysis in a specific study area in Alexandria city. The findings of the research demonstrate a strong correlation between the physical built environment and human behavior. This underlines the interdependence of these components. The case study of the resettlement of “Ma’wa El Sayden” to “Bashair El Kher 3” serves as a microcosm for understanding these dynamics, providing context-specific insights that can inform urban design strategies and interventions. The multifaceted nature of the research contributes to the broader discourse on creating urban spaces that resonate positively with the human experience. This research addresses a critical gap in urban design and planning by emphasizing the vital role of human behavior and its intricate connection with the physical environment. The findings offer valuable insights for urban designers, policymakers, and planners, providing a foundation for creating more human-centric, sustainable, and livable urban environments. |
