However, designer-user gap and difficulties in identifying Iranian household values have resulted in developing inappropriate houses. Therefore, this study has been set to investigate user perceptions of value creators in dwelling space design and to clarify user's perceptual orientation toward housing attributes. Data were gathered from the occupants of mass-produced apartments built in Bushehr, Iran through two sequential complementary stages. Examining 15 occupants using MEC model and soft laddering were followed by distributing 150 hard laddering questionnaire surveys. Based on our findings, value creators encompass psychological and functional aspects. Value creators included provision of beautiful environment.
