Post-disaster temporary housing is not merely an interim physical shelter solution but a socio-spatial phase that shapes gender relations and psychosocial recovery processes. Drawing on feminist disaster literature and environmental psychology, this study comparatively examines women residents' experiences in two temporary housing sites with different design characteristics established in Nurdağı, Gaziantep, following the February 6, 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye.The study aims to analyze the experiential and spatial dimensions that determine housing satisfaction among women in post-disaster temporary housing and to identify how these dimensions vary between housing sites with differing design features. A mixed-methods approach was employed, based on face-to-face interviews with 213 women participants. Quantitative housing satisfaction data were analyzed alongside qualitative insights to provide a comprehensive assessment of socio-spatial experiences. Findings indicate that housing unit size alone does not adequately explain housing satisfaction. Instead, spatial organization, privacy, adequacy of facilities, perceived safety, and the capacity to modify or adapt the housing unit emerged as significant factors shaping women's place attachment processes. Statistically significant differences between the two temporary housing sites demonstrate that satisfaction is influenced not solely by physical standards but by the broader socio-spatial performance of design. By conceptualizing temporary housing satisfaction within an experience-based and gender-sensitive analytical framework, this study contributes to the disaster risk reduction literature and advances a more differentiated understanding of women's housing experiences in post-disaster contexts.
