Abstract: | The purpose of this research was to explore the relationships among housing satisfaction, community attachment and community
satisfaction and the complex mechanisms involved in predicting community satisfaction among residents in rural communities.
The role of housing satisfaction and community attachment in predicting community satisfaction was of particular interest.
A structural equation model of community satisfaction was tested with mail survey data drawn from a randomly selected rural
sample of 974 households. The results of this study confirmed the influences and mediating role of community attachment and
housing satisfaction in predicting community satisfaction. “Spillover” effects from “lower levels of life concerns” (e.g.,
satisfaction with local services, assessment of current housing conditions) in perceived community satisfaction were found
that support previous research (Sirgy and Cornwell in Social Indicators Research 59:79–114, 2002). |
