Water and food are commonly accepted as the basic needs of life. Housing, by providing us a shelter, is also necessary so that you survive. Therefore it is also a fundamental need. However, every house should not only be a shelter, but also a real home. What makes a house a home is a complex combination of factors. Sociologists usually agree to define a home as "an index of social status, an arena of intimate relationships, a refuge, a container of possessions and icons, and even the carrier of one's self image" . It is a place that provides "a sense of security, autonomy, privacy, belonging, personal identity, choice, expression, achievement and pride" .These perceptions are present or not depending on "the way in which the house is designed and used and relationships with neighbors and community" .
