“…In populations of persons without a psychiatric disability, satisfaction has been correlated with neighborhood factors, safety, quality of housing, presence of social networks, tenant involvement, age, self-efficacy, and financial stress~Bruin & Cook, 1997;Varady & Preiser, 1998!. In one study~Bruin & Cook, 1997!, researchers examined the "housing adjustment model," which theorizes that both demographic and personality characteristics combine to explain residential satisfaction.…”

“…In many countries, laws and regulations have been enacted to enforce the compliance of this in all housing schemes examples being the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (England)-Regulations 2005, Housing Health and Safety Rating System Guidance-Australia, Local Housing and Health Action Plans-EU etc. Many adverse health conditions are linked to inadequate housing (Varady & Preiser, 1998). Furthermore, there is a strong relationship between housing quality and perceived health: the better the dwelling, the better the health status.…”

“…It has been seen as a crucial goal or measurement tool in the development of construction quality (Kamara & Anumba, 2000). Though no standardized agreed list of criteria has emerged for the measurement of customer/user satisfaction in housing projects, it is widely argued that meeting the needs and expectations of users of the housing schemes remains a crucial objective for housing provision especially for the affordable group (Zeithaml et al, 1990;Varady & Preiser, 1998;Yang & Zhu, 2006).…”

Successive Public Housing Building Project (PHBP) attempts have been unsuccessful due to a number of reasons. Among these is the lack of clearly defined success criteria which guides and measures PHBP success from inception to closure. The adoption and application of project management practice and project success criteria is to deliver projects successfully, attain enhanced output, develop framework to help track key project results and to enable the appropriate allocation of resources. This paper aimed to establish critical success criteria for PHBPs in Ghana. A questionnaire survey was employed to elicit the views of experienced professionals on 13 project success criteria identified from literature. Mean score analysis and factor analysis were conducted on the data collected. The results showed that PHBP practitioners perceive 'cost of individual houses' and 'extensive use of local materials' as the most critical success criteria with 'risk containment' emerging as the least critical criteria. It also revealed the following as the major underlysing factors for critical project success criteria for public housing projects in Ghana;'Time, Cost and Quality Management', 'Satisfaction, Health and Environmental Safety', 'User Affordability and Design Consideration' and 'Cost of Individual Units and Technology'. These two findings are essential for developing a framework which will enable project managers involved in PHBPs in Ghana to channel appropriate efforts and behaviours towards ensuring the attainment of success on their projects.

“…In this approach, satisfaction refers to a process of evaluation and comparison of existing and expected conditions (Parker& Mathews, 2001), under which residential satisfaction specifically refers to a function of distance between the person's needs and ideals and existing conditions of residential environment (Varady& Preiser, 1998). This implies that people seek residence in an environment that assists them to achieve their expectations and enable them to achieve their goals.Therefore, the more residential environment has the facilitator role, the more people's residential satisfaction (Ibem& Aduwo, 2013).…”

With regard to increasing importance of urban regeneration, assessment of previous provisions is considered as a major step due to effect of urban renewal on quality of life and the necessity to use dilapidated fabrics in line with goals of sustainable development and avoidance from urban sprawl. Since residents are the main beneficiaries of urban renewal and this should come to realize aiming at improving their satisfaction with living area, in the present research the measure of residential satisfaction has been used, mentioned as a suitable index to determine desirability of living area and effects of provisions made for it. To measure variables, five-point Likert questionnaire has been used as the research questionnaire; to analyze data and test research hypotheses, one-sample t-test has been used; to compare extent of satisfaction in three groups including centralized renewal, semi-centralized and decentralized renewal, one-way variance analysis has been used. Results from research indicate that neighborhood renewal has not had a significant effect on residential satisfaction in it, resulted in reduction of satisfaction extent in most of indices especially social indices. Neighborhood renewal has led to increase of satisfaction in some physical indices such as physical quality of residential unit. This indicates that attention has been merely focused on physical dimension instead of considering all the components of residential satisfaction. Another important result is higher extent of satisfaction among residents with the purpose of decentralized renewal, which this result indicates the necessity to change from authoritarian modernization models to micro scale, participative and community-oriented models and avoidance from prescribing prearranged physical plans and the necessity to use facilitators public institutions.
