“…Assessment of residential satisfaction is used as an approach to measure the sustainability of a city or of urban liveability (Pacione, 1990;Zhan et al, 2018), which is defined as urban quality of life and individual well-being associated with the local environment (Zhan et al, 2018). The measurement of residential satisfaction is carried out by comparing the actual and the expected quality of an urban environment from the perspective of community satisfaction.…”

Intention to move is an attitude affected by dissatisfaction toward one's residence. However, there is no clear correlation between the mediating variable of residential satisfaction and intention to move. The bond or attachment towards a place is one of the factors that cause a person's attitude or behavior. Regarding such a case, this study aimed to find out the correlational relationship between the level of satisfaction and place attachment to the attitude of intention to move. By using a mixed-method approach, this study examined the assessment of physical and non-physical aspects of satisfaction and place attachment dimensions. The research was conducted in Medan Belawan District, Medan City in a slum area that is part of a suburb of Medan. Questionnaires were distributed both directly in the field and online. The collected data were analyzed by principal component analysis and multivariate correlation analysis to seek the relationship between latent variables. The results showed that functional and cognitive attachment are the main predictors of mismatch and opportunities elsewhere.

“…As a new direction in urban scientific research, it has gradually attracted widespread attention from scholars at home and abroad. Zhan and colleagues conducted a large-scale questionnaire survey on 40 major cities in China [3]. They explored the characteristics and influencing factors of urban livability degree and satisfaction degree by using the geographical…”

Urban livability is an important factor affecting the sustainable development of modern cities. Safe livability is an important part of urban livability. In view of this, this paper takes security as an example, and based on the actual data of Futian District, Shenzhen City, China, establishes a multi-agent simulation model of urban safe livability. The dynamic interaction feedback mechanism between decision-making behaviors of residents and urban safe livability under the influence of environment and policies has been explored, and residents' decision-making simulation of the change of urban safe livability is realized. Finally, the main factors influencing urban safe livability are summarized through simulation conclusions. The research can not only provide scientific suggestions for improving the safe livability of Shenzhen, it also provides strong support for the sustainable development of the city.Sustainability 2020, 12, 2070 2 of 15 detector model. Liu and co-workers explored the complex interdependence between emerging tourism and the livability of Chinese cities. Based on the conceptual model and statistical analysis of 35 large-and medium-sized cities in China from 2003 to 2012, the potential threat of overdevelopment of tourism to the livability of the city was deduced [4]. Paul and colleagues took Kolkata, India as the research object, and based their study on integrated urban geographic factors (IUGFs), evaluating the changes to livability in the city center to understand the impact of changes in livability on urban development [5]. Khorasani and Zarghamfard [6] analyzed the influence of spatial factors at local and regional scales on livability, using the urban village of Walamin as an example. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between village spatial factors and livability indicators. Furlan and Petruccioli [7] proposed a model called transit oriented development (TOD). This model improves urban livability through better integration of urban transportation and land use strategies, thereby maintaining sustainable urbanization. Most of the studies in the above literature only consider the meaning and measurement indicators of a more comprehensive livable city. They are limited to the concept and interpretation of the concept. They do not consider changes in the livability of the city under the influence of various factors. They only focus on static spatial equilibrium and the estimation of urban livability under quantitative indicators. Moreover, they ignore complex human factors and individual decision-making behaviors, and it is difficult to reflect the complexity of urban spatial systems. Therefore, in our study, computer technology is used to study the interaction between many environmental factors and complex human factors. Moreover, computer technology is of great significance to the study of urban safe livability.Multi-agent modeling [8] refers to abstracting the basic elements of complex systems into agents. Then, an agent simulation model corresponding to the real...

В них авторы оценивают характеристики городов, в наибольшей степени влияющих на общую удовлетворенность респондента проживанием в городе или на уровень его привязанности к городу, используя порядковые шкалы удовлетворенности респондентов (Merrilees et al, 2009;Zenker, Petersen, Aholt, 2013;Zenker, Rütter, 2014;Nigro et al, 2016;Zhan et al, 2018).…”

Тюменский государственный университет, Тюмень В каких городах нам нравится жить? Эмпирический анализ отношения занятых к городам Аннотация. Привлечение талантливых работников в города способствует концентрации в них человеческого капитала высокого качества, а значит, и успешному экономическому и социальному развитию. Остается неисследованным вопрос, какие именно характеристики городов формируют положительное отношение занятых к городам. Ответ на этот вопрос важен для исследований в рамках теорий локальных рынков труда, компенсационных различий в заработной плате, а также при проектировании социальной политики в городах. Данная статья выполнена на уникальных микроданных, собранных с помощью опросов занятого населения 20-64 лет в административных центрах УрФО. Опрошены 2520 респондентов. С помощью кросс-табуляции выявлена сила связи между отношением занятых к городам и удовлетворенностью отдельными характеристиками городов, индивидуальными характеристиками работника, размером его индивидуальной заработной платы. Результаты показали, что существует прямая положительная связь между отношением работников к городу и их индивидуальной заработной платой, а также удовлетворенностью работников характеристиками городов. Полученные оценки можно интерпретировать как с точки зрения экономических теорий, так и с позиции концепции брендинга городов.
