Are owners more satisfied than tenants? Discriminant analysis in the urban context

Abstract

This study investigates whether there are differences between the perceptions of owners and tenants in the urban context. Understanding this matter can influence decisions on housing policies, as it helps to comprehend the general satisfaction of subjects. Based on the questionnaire that was administered and on statistical analyses, we observed the importance of the maintenance and infrastructure of the urban context for both groups. The neighborhood's location, services, and resources discriminated between the groups, and highlighted the relevant characteristics for each target audience.
