“…As shown by Granbom et al (2014), residential reasoning is a process hitherto not taken sufficiently into consideration as a health promotion strategy (Granbom et al, 2014;Löfqvist et al, 2013). Ageing in place research on baby boomers in the U.S. has shown that a strong desire to age in place is associated with higher residential satisfaction (Kwon, Ahn, Lee, & Kim, 2015). Our study, which included a similar cohort of younger older people, shows that social aspects of home are relevant for health outcomes such as depression and well-being.…”

“…According to the Housing Adjustment Theory ( Morris & Winter, 1975 , 1998 ), housing satisfaction is influenced by housing norms and constraints, measured with housing and demographic variables. Housing and demographic variables were selected from previous residential satisfaction studies ( Ahn & Lee, 2016 ; Kwon et al, 2015 ; Lee & Parrott, 2010 ). Each question and its response choices were adapted from the American Housing Survey of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Bureau of Census ( U.S. Census Bureau, 2018 ).…”

This study explored residential (housing and town) satisfaction of rural older adults aging in place, relating to demographic and housing characteristics. We conducted a structured, face-to-face survey with 149 rural older adults. Regression results revealed that housing satisfaction for rural older adults were significantly related to demographic and housing characteristics, including personal health status, healthy home status, and structure size. Bivariate analysis revealed that satisfaction with a town feature, shopping location, was the most frequently related to demographic and housing variables, followed by cost of living in town; and that health status was most frequently associated with town feature satisfaction. The study results can enhance programs and/or services for older adults aging in rural communities.

“…In particular, the study looks into Malaysians living in urban areas of Greater Kuala Lumpur. The study was initially based on the assumption from previous research (Kwon et al, 2015;Ferreira, 2013;Hillcoat & Ogg, 2013;Wardrip, 2010;Windley, 2003;Burby & Rohe, 1990) that claimed residential satisfaction is highly associated with thedecision to remain in the current dwelling. As such, three key research questions were addressed in the study.…”

As Malaysia is becoming an ageing nation, it is important to examine the housing needs of the retiring age group in order to provide adequate retirement housing. The study examines the middle adults' housing expectation which will affect their housing preferences and decisions upon retirement. A face-to-face survey was conducted on 464 respondents aged 40 and above living in the urban concentrated areas of Greater Kuala Lumpur. Most of the respondents indicated that they have a strong willingness to continue to stay in their current homes and their opinions on the satisfaction level of comfort were evaluated in this survey. Though certain groups have their own preferences for their future housing plan, the findings revealed that most of the middle age adults have strong desire to age in place, surrounded by family members, friends as well as suitable facilities. This suggests that to a certain degree, the current housing will not be their desired retirement home. It is recommended that the housing policy should integrate the expectation and needs of the ageing population of the nation.
