“…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).…”

“…In other words, objective measures of housing and neighborhood attributes alone do not provide an adequate explanation of satisfaction. Second, dwelling satisfaction and neighborhood satisfaction are considered different and are often analyzed separately (Crull et al 1991). But the two types of satisfaction are also closely related.…”

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.

“…Kendig (1990) considered the movement from rental housing to homeownership the most critical step within a housing career. These norms favor ownership of a detached, single-family home that accommodates the household, in a safe, residential neighborhood and that projects its social status (Bruin & Cook, 1997;Crull, Bode, & Morris, 1991;Morris & Winter, 1975). The position of homeownership as the housing continuum pinnacle is supported by tenure and housing structure norms in the United States.…”

Recent developments in the United States housing market suggest that shared‐equity homeownership models, such as community land trusts (CLT), can provide a more sustainable path to homeownership for low‐income individuals. This study used a qualitative, biographical approach to examine the experiences of 20 CLT homeowners from CLT organizations in two metropolitan areas in the southeastern United States. CLT homeownership offered a path from successful renter into CLT homeownership for the low‐income participants in the study. The experiences include comments of the participants before and after becoming homeowners. Many of the participants entered homeownership later in life. Participants reported that they were able to make progress following financial setbacks from job loss, divorce, and health problems.

“…Adaptation appears when the desired living environment could not be selected, so communities adapt to the residential environment and settlements that were initially considered less comfortable [13]. Residential mobility occurs if the resident satisfaction levels are currently low [14], so households will move into new housing that fits their needs.…”

Abstract. This article examines one of the approaches commonly taken by the government to reduce the number of slums in urban areas, namely the provision of subsidised/affordable rental apartments. This article focuses on the assessment of to what extent the approach is relevant to the perceived problem (needs) of the target group (low income family) and what are the socio-economic characteristics of those living in slums and what are their preferences for moving to affordable rental apartments or remains to stay in the current slums. Since the problems are complex and dynamic, the case study research methods has been utilised and the low-income families living in slums in surrounding areas of Rusunawa Kaligawe (affordable rental apartment) in Semarang have been used as the unit of analysis.
