ABSTRACT

The present study aims at reviewing Residential Satisfaction (RS) from both theoretical and empirical points of view. Various theories from different fields underpin RS and empirical studies on RS also indicate different determinants; however, there is a paucity of research on reviewing RS studies, identifying the roots of its theories and categorizing RS empirical studies into core determinants. Therefore, the main research questions are: which theories support RS and what are RS determinants and indicators? To answer these questions, valid RS-related studies were extracted using the search strategy and after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 107 studies were selected for the final review. Besides, the findings of RS studies were structured into four determinants, namely urban policy and planning, design principles, social milieu and residents’ attributes. This review provides fresh insights into RS interdisciplinary aspects and the concept of residential dissatisfaction, and offers useful suggestions for future research.

摘要

本研究旨在从理论和经验的角度审查住宅满意度 (RS)。来自不同领域的各种理论支持 RS，对 RS 的实证研究也表明了不同的决定因素；然而，关于审查 RS 研究、确定其理论根源以及将 RS 实证研究归类为核心决定因素的研究很少。因此，主要的研究问题是：哪些理论支持 RS，什么是 RS 的决定因素和指标？为了回答这些问题，使用搜索策略提取了有效的 RS 相关研究，并在应用纳入和排除标准后，选择了 107 项研究进行最终审查。此外，RS 研究的结果被分为四个决定因素，即城市政策和规划、设计原则、社会环境和居民属性。这篇综述为 RS 跨学科方面和居住不满的概念提供了新的见解，并为未来的研究提供了有用的建议。
