An extremely large housing stock representing different concepts and designed with diverse ideas exists. This is important so as to sustain a variety of social, cultural and economic factors. Modern housing settlements from 1930-1970 represent a very important part of the stock in terms of both a long lifetime and the cultural memory of the city. Today, a lot of housing from this period have several spatial quality problems. To solve the problems and sustain the quality, the first things we need to examine are the factors of spatial quality and user characteristics. This research focuses on modern housing stock spatial quality problems and their parameters. The main aim of the study is to examine the facts of the spatial quality with user perceptions. The method of the study is based on a literature review, site observations and questionnaires with the users. At the beginning, the quality concept in housing settlements and parameters of the spatial quality in existing stock were researched. Site observations were made in the 4th Levent Neighbourhood that was designed and built in the modern period. With the help of the literature review and site observations, details of the questionnaires were defined. The questionnaires about spatial quality were conducted with 40 residential users in the neighbourhood, and the results were analysed along with the comments.
