“…The effect of house type on housing satisfaction is corroborated by other studies (Baillie 1990;Lu 1999;Ukoha and Beamish 1997). Ukoha and Beamish found that in Nigeria residents who lived in self-contained houses derived the most satisfaction because of features such as room privacy, toilet, bathroom and playing yard for children.…”

“…Yet, much of the research investigating housing satisfaction has come from affluent nations (Baillie 1990;Lu 1998;Nathan 1995). Little is known on housing satisfaction especially as it pertains to coping within the context of developing countries where housing attributes and quality are generally much poorer.…”

“…In developed countries, planners and policy makers strive to provide housing that meets the needs of the residents and thus contributes to their quality of life (Ginsberg and Churchman 1984;Lu 1999). Second, individuals' subjective perceptions and evaluation of their residential environment has been found to be related to their residential mobility (Baillie 1990;Lu 1998Lu , 1999.…”

“…Restricted by various constraints, households may be unable to engage in adjustment behavior and consequently may develop unconventional housing preferences to reduce dissatisfaction (Bruin and Cook 1997). A number of empirical studies have demonstrated that housing deficit is a useful notion in explaining residential satisfaction and mobility behavior (Baillie 1990;Bruin and Cook 1997;Cho et al 1990;Cook et al 1994;Crull et al 1991).…”

Residential satisfaction is not only an important component of individuals' quality of life but also determines the way they respond to residential environment. An understanding of the factors that facilitate a satisfied or dissatisfied response can play a critical part in making successful housing policies. This study reinvestigates the effects of housing, neighborhood, and household characteristics on individuals' satisfaction with both dwelling and neighborhood, in order to reconcile the inconsistencies in the previous research. The empirical analysis uses data drawn from the American Housing Survey (AHS) and ordered logit models (OLM). OLM is more appropriate than the widely-used regression technique in such analysis due to the ordinal nature of the dependent variables representing satisfaction. The results show that residential satisfaction is a complex construct, affected by a variety of environmental and socio-demographic variables. While the actual effects of the variables by and large confirm earlier findings in the literature, significant differences between the results from the OLM and regression models were found. This indicates that regression models should be used with caution and their results accepted with a grain of salt.

“…The type of dwelling people choose to live in is guided by structural norms. Research shows that housing type is an important factor in housing satisfaction and has significant and direct effect on propensity to move (Baillie, 1990). In the United States, the predominant housing structure is single-family detached house, symbolizing a high standard of living.…”
