However, the history of urban design is not long all over the world, and there are not many countries that are not institutionalized yet. The purpose of this study is to clarify and reflect the needs and requirements of residents in to suggest the right guidelines of urban design that have the most direct effect on improving the quality of human life. The study site was limited to Thao Dien, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
