configuration, area, and measurements, and after combining similar items, and deleting and re-categorizing items, the survey tool contained 66
items. The expert Delphi survey was conducted on a non-contact basis via email over two rounds, and it was completed by 23 subjects. In
the small houses evaluation index created based on the research results, exclusive spaces were divided into the front door, bedroom, living
room, kitchen and dining room, bathroom, utility room, and balcony, and the index contained 40 items in total. Twenty-six areas were
