Abstract

Residential dissatisfaction occurs due to a discrepancy between residents’ expectations and their residential environment. This phenomenon appears in a confrontation process, mostly in low-income families who cannot afford to relocate, calling for extracting their lived experiences. This study aimed to extract the consequences of residential dissatisfaction so that residents’ various coping strategies were narrated. This narrative was achieved through transcendental phenomenology and semi-structured interviews. The residents of Mehr housing scheme contributed to expressing the mentioned narrative through purposive sampling of Minudasht, Iran. Meanwhile, transcriptions were divided into three categories: revision of needs, change in the physical environment and relocation. The results included eight themes that residents showed to residential dissatisfaction. Residents’ strategies for dealing with residential dissatisfaction were also structured by an analytical framework encompassing individual/family, social, internal and external aspects. This article provides fresh insights into residents’ responses to residential dissatisfaction both in theory and practice.
