“…Subjective measure refers to emotions, perceptions, and feelings toward the housing features, such as the appearance of the unit, degree of privacy, and closeness with neighbours [20]. While previously, there has not been much emphasis on the social features in housing studies as compared to the economic and physical environment, a few studies exist, including social features such as the interaction with neighbours, attachment to community, and perceptions of privacy [21,22].…”

The current research seeks to understand the relationship between residential satisfaction and place attachment by assessing where significant differences exist in the social environment among people living in low-rise and high-rise housing estates in Budapest, Hungary. The study employed multistage sampling techniques to collect information on the social environment and the residential satisfaction of individuals living in Budapest’s low-rise and high-rise housing estates. The data consisted of 213 participants over the age of 18. Results reveal that a decrease in the number of dependents within both high-rise (p = 0.013) and low-rise (p < 0.001) estates, as well as smaller household sizes in both high-rise (p = 0.013) and low-rise (p = 0.005) estates, aligns with lower satisfaction with the social environment. Habitability indices suggest that low-rise estates generally foster a more positive perception of the social environment, stronger community connections, and higher trust among neighbours, supporting the hypothesis that residents in high-rise estates may be dissatisfied with their social surroundings. Notably, the logistic regression analysis highlights a negative association (β = −0.12) between the satisfaction index (SI) and overall satisfaction in high-rise housing, emphasizing that higher SI values are linked to lower odds of satisfaction in this context. Conversely, the low-rise model shows a statistically significant positive association (p < 0.005) between SI and overall satisfaction. Thus, the size of the residential building does matter when it comes to individuals feeling attached to their residential environment.

Grounded on connectivism learning theory, the current study concedes that beyond the phases of the digital divide, research has shown that there is still a digital literacy gap among Report 191 programme pre-entry level technical and vocational education and training (TVET) college students that require attention. While TVET college students are expected to possess digital skills, research has indicated that on reaching TVET Colleges, many students do not possess the requisite digital literacies. Using a survey design, this quantitative study explored digital literacies amongst Report 191 programme pre-entry level students at a TVET college in South Africa. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, version 22). With a Cronbach Alpha value of 7.6, the instrument was considered valid and reliable. The findings suggested the prevalence of an uneven/diverse digital literacy prowess among Report 191 programme pre-entry level students. Researchers recommended a focused and differentiated programme of digital literacy support for Report 191 programme pre-entry level students at TVET colleges. This study will help all TVET lecturers and policymakers start to acknowledge how ubiquitous digital literacy skills are becoming in educational settings, not just technological ones.
