ABSTRACT Despite its theoretical and practical significance, urban social sustainability research lacks robust definition, conceptualisation and measurement. In addition, the factors influencing people’s perceived feelings about their neighbourhood are underexplored. The aim of this study is two-fold: First, to develop and empirically test the urban social sustainability (USS) measurement model at the neighbourhood scale that captures the multifaceted nature of this complex phenomenon. Second, to use the proposed USS model to examine the role of different physical (urban form) and personal (socio-economic) factors in promoting or weakening various aspects of neighbourhood social sustainability. We conducted factor analysis for testing the dimensionality, validity, and reliability of the USS model. Multiple regression analysis was also used to test the practical implications of the model. Our findings from 251 respondents in five case study neighbourhoods of Dunedin city, New Zealand, provide evidence that the effects of physical and personal factors can differ according to distinct USS dimensions. We found that out of the four physical factors, quality of urban design is the most influential factor, having a significant positive influence on three USS dimensions and the overall urban social sustainability. Among the personal factors, length of residence in a neighbourhood has the most influence on different USS dimensions.

邻里尺度的城市社会可持续性:测量以及物理和个人因素的影响

摘要 尽管具有理论和实践意义,但城市社会可持续性研究缺乏稳健的定义、概念化和测量。此外,影响人们对其邻里感知感受的因素也未得到充分探索。本研究的目的有两个:首先,在社区尺度上开发和实证测试城市社会可持续性 (USS) 测量模型,以捕捉这种复杂现象的多方面性质。其次,使用提议的 USS 模型来检查不同物理(城市形态)和个人(社会经济)因素在促进或削弱社区社会可持续性的各个方面的作用。我们进行了因子分析来检验 USS 模型的维数、效度和信度。多元回归分析也被用来测试模型的实际意义。我们对新西兰达尼丁市五个案例研究社区的 251 名受访者的调查结果提供了证据,表明物理和个人因素的影响可能会根据不同的 USS 维度而有所不同。我们发现,在四个物理因素中,城市设计质量是影响最大的因素,对三个 USS 维度和整体城市社会可持续性具有显着的积极影响。在个人因素中,邻里居住时间对不同 USS 维度的影响最大。提供证据表明物理和个人因素的影响可能因不同的 USS 维度而异。我们发现,在四个物理因素中,城市设计质量是影响最大的因素,对三个 USS 维度和整体城市社会可持续性具有显着的积极影响。在个人因素中,邻里居住时间对不同 USS 维度的影响最大。提供证据表明物理和个人因素的影响可能因不同的 USS 维度而异。我们发现,在四个物理因素中,城市设计质量是影响最大的因素,对三个 USS 维度和整体城市社会可持续性具有显着的积极影响。在个人因素中,邻里居住时间对不同 USS 维度的影响最大。
