Abstract: | Numerous cross-cultural studies have focused on certain aspects of urban housing conditions and their social consequences.
However, most data on housing satisfaction is restricted to Western countries. Relatively little comparison has been made
between these findings and those in developing areas where rapid urbanization is occurring and where concomitant problems
in urban housing are emerging. Moreover, since primary cities of developing countries in the initial stage of economic development
have received extensive attention in urban housing research, it would be interesting to examine a non-primary city where relatively
good standards of living have been achieved. Thus, this study investigates people’s housing satisfaction in modern and historical
neighborhoods. This paper addresses some conceptual and measurement issues related to the study of housing satisfaction. We
build a conceptual model, which links the multiple dimensions of housing satisfaction, measured by a modified version of Bardo
and Dokmeci’s (1992, Genetic, Social and General Psychology Monographs 118(3)) housing satisfaction scale, in a causal sense. An empirical examination
of the model in traditional and modern neighborhoods reveals that social and environmental living conditions positively influence
overall housing satisfaction. The results also indicate that the drivers of the social and environmental living conditions
constructs differ between traditional and modern neighborhoods. |
