Received: 24 October 2022 Accepted: 8 March 2023 The epidemic following the spread of the coronavirus has led us to feel so distressed, as we have been forced to isolate ourselves and in an instant we have lost the social relations between people. As the architect has the role of finding design solutions to ensure that in the event of an epidemic like the current coronavirus, people's lives don't have to undergo as many changes. This research has to study a block in an existing neighborhood in the city of Aqaba, Jordan, where it is shown for the lack of meeting spaces and entertainment spaces, people during the lockdown have suffered greatly. to prevent this from happening in the future, we have studied design solutions regarding free spaces in condominiums, to improve the social life of the inhabitants in the event of an epidemic. Naturally respecting the social distancing provided for by the laws of European countries and taking into account the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). Interviews were made with the inhabitants of the neighborhood, a statistical and graphical analysis was carried out to find out the degree of acceptance of our design solutions. The result of the interview showed that 72.9% of the respondents strongly agree; 9.8% agree and 5.3% are neutral, while only 8.7% disagree and 3.3% disagree.
