Although social scientists and architectures have studied the meaning of home to self-identity, developing a sense of home concerning self encompasses much more than just it. Thus, the present study aims to investigate the sense of home concerning the concept of "self-determination" concerning its fundamental factors, which comprise three aspects autonomy, competence, and relatedness. For this purpose, a composite-heuristic method was chosen for the study, which included in-depth interviews using a topic list developed through a literature review and the questionnaire surveys. First interviews were conducted with twelve middle-class dwellers of Boroujerd city of Lorestan in Iran to determine the environmental dimensions responding to self-determination. The researchers conducted the questionnaire surveys with ninety-one participants chosen from architecture students at the University of Boroujerd in Iran to examine the hypotheses derived from the data. The research findings show that the self-determination directly explains the variation of home sense through three main aspects: autonomy by 46.7%, competence by 31.6% and relatedness by 30.5%. These aspects referred to self-security and self- expression and show that for developing a sense of home, the home must be so flexible and adaptable that humans can independently behave in their private and public space.

尽管社会科学家和建筑学已经研究了自我认同之家的含义，但是发展一种关于自我的住房感不仅限于此。因此，本研究旨在调查关于“自决”概念的基本意义的家感，“自决”概念包括自治，能力和相关性三个方面。为此，本研究选择了一种综合启发式方法，该方法包括使用通过文献综述和问卷调查得出的主题列表进行的深度访谈。首次采访是对伊朗洛雷斯坦Boroujerd市的十二名中产阶级居民进行的，以确定环境对自决的影响。研究人员对来自伊朗博鲁耶德大学建筑系学生的91名参与者进行了问卷调查，以检验从数据中得出的假设。研究发现表明，自决从三个主要方面直接解释了家庭观念的变化：自主性为46.7％，能力为31.6％，相关性为30.5％。这些方面涉及自我安全和自我表达，并表明，要养成一种家的感觉，家必须具有足够的灵活性和适应性，以使人类能够在自己的私人和公共场所独立行事。研究发现表明，自决从三个主要方面直接解释了家庭观念的变化：自主性为46.7％，能力为31.6％，相关性为30.5％。这些方面涉及自我安全和自我表达，并表明，要养成一种家的感觉，家必须具有足够的灵活性和适应性，以使人类能够在自己的私人和公共场所独立行事。研究发现表明，自决从三个主要方面直接解释了家庭观念的变化：自主性为46.7％，能力为31.6％，相关性为30.5％。这些方面涉及自我安全和自我表达，并表明，要养成一种家的感觉，家必须具有足够的灵活性和适应性，以使人类能够在自己的私人和公共场所独立行事。
