The findings of the indexes to investigate social values in the formation of the architecture of Qajar period houses were evaluated and scored using graphical analysis in each index. The findings show that the indicators of geometry, centrality, and privacy have the biggest impact, and taking into account the numerical score of the Meshkian house, with a score of 4.33, it has the highest level of social influence in the formation of its architecture. In future research, by comparing the Qajar and Pahlavi periods, these indicators can be expanded and their internal relationships can also be investigated.
