“…Comparatively, 114 residents (69.9%) who are satisfied with the neighbourhood environment plan to stay on in the neighbourhood. These results parallel with previous studies which indicate quality neighbourhood environment plays a major role in influencing residential mobility (Dawkins, Jeon, & Pendall, 2015;Moser, 2009). Intentions to rebuild the neighbourhood may apply to these satisfied residents who intend to stay.…”

Residential mobility refers to adjustments of housing needs made by households in response to changes in family life cycle phases. Households may express dissatisfaction with current housing and neighbourhood environment, relative to their desired needs, characteristics and preferences. Residential mobility involves the actual moving thus implying changes in the neighbourhood composition and structure as the current residents may decide to move out or stay on, while the new residents may move in the neighbourhood. An assessment of the neighbourhood setting can capture residents' views and perceptions of the neighbourhood environment, be it satisfactory or otherwise; and subsequently, residents may decide whether to move out or stay on in the neighbourhood. The paper aims to establish linkages between residents' perceptions of the neighbourhood environment and residential mobility behaviour. Primary data were collected via a questionnaire survey of 589 households in selected neighbourhoods in Penang, Malaysia. Study results show that attributes of neighbourhood environment, neighbourhood interaction and neighbourhood attachment are significantly associated with residential mobility. Residents who expressed satisfaction with their neighbourhood are more likely to stay on, and vice versa. Hence, future housing policy in the country should take into consideration residential mobility behaviours to enhance the neighbourhood quality for the benefits of all residents.

“…However, a positive relationship between the two variables may exist given the findings in the past research (Ahlbrandt 1984; Basolo and Strong 2002; Connerly and Marans 1985). Studies have also shown that accessibility, measured as proximity to various types of establishments (Cook 1988; Hur and Morrow-Jones 2008) or as ability to use transportation through either ownership of a personal vehicle or through the use of public transportation (Dawkins, Jeon, and Pendall 2015), may dictate how people feel about their neighborhood. For these reasons, the analysis in this study included evaluations of the access to transportation and the quality of public services among residents.…”

This article discusses the findings from a study on neighborhood satisfaction conducted within the North Camden neighborhood context. Using data from the 2011 North Camden Resident Satisfaction Survey, the study examined the subjective measures of neighborhood-level characteristics to identify the determinants of neighborhood satisfaction. A binary logistic regression analysis revealed that the quality of social networks, neighborhood physical conditions, neighborhood safety, and quality of public services are positively associated with neighborhood satisfaction. Surprisingly, the analysis showed that the extent of social networks and access to transportation have an inverse relationship with the satisfaction of residents with their neighborhood. The article discusses these findings and the way in which the results can inform practitioners about policies and programs that need to be developed and implemented to improve neighborhood satisfaction and, ultimately, individual and community well-being.

“…The influence coefficients are positive and significant (P < 0.05). This finding suggests that the high convenience of bus traffic is beneficial for increasing community satisfaction (Vrbka and Combs, 1993;Dawkins et al, 2015). However, no significant relationship was observed between other built environment variables (distance between community and business centre, volume rate and green coverage rate) and community satisfaction.…”

“…Garland (2013), Vrbka and Combs (1993) and Fitz et al (2016) revealed that having friends as neighbours and feeling safe in one's neighbourhood are positive indicators of community satisfaction. In terms of built environments, the levels of community satisfaction can be predicted by the extent to which residents are satisfied with the proximity to shopping, ease of vehicular access and public transit and street conditions (Vrbka and Combs, 1993;Lee, 2010;Dawkins et al, 2015). Landscape components also play important roles in community satisfaction.…”

Effects of Community Community Communication Technology (ICT) Usage on Community Satisfaction: Case Study in Nanjing, China

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Future or smart community, which mainly refers to the development of community information and communication technology (ICT) platforms or devices, has received considerable attention from urban governments and scholars. However, only a few studies have been conducted to test the actual effects of using these community ICT platforms or devices on the community satisfaction of residents. Therefore, the present study conducts a survey in 40 communities in Nanjing, China and uses a mixed linear regression model to determine the relationship between community ICT usage and community satisfaction. Results indicate that residents with high-level community ICT usage are more satisfied with their community than those with low-level community ICT usage. Moreover, evident differences are observed regarding the influence of new commodity, old commodity and affordable housing communities in Nanjing. These findings are meaningful for the construction and development of future communities.
