Abstract

During the period of quarantine restrictions, and later the full-scale invasion of russia into the territory of Ukraine, issues related to the change of residence intensified, accordingly changes in the level of social communications, problems of comfort, and realization of all vital functions in the living space of apartment buildings. The main purpose of the article is to study the relationship between the architectural characteristics of comfort in the interior of a residential apartment and the personality types of residents. The subject of our research is the architectural and spatial characteristics of the comfort of a residential apartment. The analysis of scientific research in the field of psycho-design and socio-design indicates the stratification of human personality types into 4 types, which realize all their vital functions in the "field of life". Another area of research focuses on finding the most integrated characteristics of the interior of the living space. These characteristics include size, shape, color, and details.

The main research method is the construction of a two-component matrix, with the help of which it is possible to determine the relationships between the components of the interior of the dwelling and the level of comfort for its residents. As a result of the analysis and evaluation of the concept of interaction of socio-psychological features of character and the corresponding architectural and spatial characteristics of comfort depending on the type of personality, practical recommendations have been formulated that can be applied in the process of pre-project analysis and at the stage of creating architectural and planning decisions of apartments and creating interior design. Experimental verification of the results obtained in the process of creating the interior design of several residential apartments in Ivano-Frankivsk shows that the level of comfort of residential apartments where the algorithms of this study were applied is significantly higher than in architectural and planning decisions where this methodology was not used.
