Abstract
This study investigates strategies for developing a resilient housing model to address future pandemics, specifically focusing on District 3 of Sanandaj, Iran. The primary objective is identifying and formulating strategies that enhance housing characteristics and improve preparedness for health crises. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative and qualitative data, and utilizes a descriptive-analytical methodology for comprehensive analysis. The study targets experts in land and housing planning from District 3. The findings underscore the urgent need for effective strategies to establish a robust housing model capable of responding to future health crises. SWOT and QSPM analyses indicate that achieving this goal necessitates comprehensive and coordinated planning, encouragement of private sector investment, and enhancement of supervisory systems and decision-making readiness. It is crucial to build on existing strengths, leverage opportunities, and address weaknesses and threats, particularly within supervisory and executive frameworks. The proposed strategies aim to improve the quality of life and public health by fostering the development of more resilient housing solutions. Additionally, these strategies seek to enhance transparency and efficiency in decision-making processes and to cultivate greater public trust in supervisory systems. Implementing these measures will facilitate the successful attainment of developmental and strategic goals in the housing sector, engagement in strengthening the response to future pandemics, and enhancing overall community well-being.
