“…In essence, this study shows interesting linkages between satisfaction of neighbourhood quality and residential mobility behaviour. The study findings reflect good dimensions of residential satisfaction ranging from the micro context of the dwelling to the macro-setting of the neighbourhood ( Aragonés, Amérigo, & Pérez-López, 2016;Mohit & Adel Mahfoud, 2015;Wang & Wang, 2015). This study has also revealed significant relationships between residential satisfaction measurements based on residents' perceptions, and residential mobility behaviours.…”

Residential mobility refers to adjustments of housing needs made by households in response to changes in family life cycle phases. Households may express dissatisfaction with current housing and neighbourhood environment, relative to their desired needs, characteristics and preferences. Residential mobility involves the actual moving thus implying changes in the neighbourhood composition and structure as the current residents may decide to move out or stay on, while the new residents may move in the neighbourhood. An assessment of the neighbourhood setting can capture residents' views and perceptions of the neighbourhood environment, be it satisfactory or otherwise; and subsequently, residents may decide whether to move out or stay on in the neighbourhood. The paper aims to establish linkages between residents' perceptions of the neighbourhood environment and residential mobility behaviour. Primary data were collected via a questionnaire survey of 589 households in selected neighbourhoods in Penang, Malaysia. Study results show that attributes of neighbourhood environment, neighbourhood interaction and neighbourhood attachment are significantly associated with residential mobility. Residents who expressed satisfaction with their neighbourhood are more likely to stay on, and vice versa. Hence, future housing policy in the country should take into consideration residential mobility behaviours to enhance the neighbourhood quality for the benefits of all residents.

“…Mohit and Mahfoud [30] found that elements of DI, especially floor area, correlate positively with residential satisfaction with public housing in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where dwelling size was found to be an important predictor of residential satisfaction. Dwelling size was also found to be an important predictor of residential satisfaction in the works of Ibem and Aduwo [31], Ibem and Amole [32,33] in the Nigerian context, Buys and Miller [25] in the Australian context, and Wang and Wang [34] in the Chinese context. Larger dwelling size may improve residential satisfaction [35,36].…”

2020

Affordable housing for the low-income population, who mostly live in slums, is an endemic challenge for cities in developing countries. As a remedy for the slum-free city, most of the major metropolis are resorting to slum rehabilitation housing. Rehabilitation connotes the improved quality of life that provides contentment, yet what entails residential satisfaction in such low-income situations remains a blind spot in literature. The study aims to examine the factors affecting residential satisfaction of slum rehabilitation housing in Mumbai, India. Here, the moderation effects of sociodemographic characteristics between residential satisfaction and its predictors are elaborated using a causal model. Data on residents' perception of the residential environment were collected from 981 households in three different slum rehabilitation housing areas spatially spread across Mumbai. The causal model indicated that residential satisfaction was significantly determined by internal conditions of dwelling resulting from design, community environment and access to facilities. Gender, age, mother tongue, presence of children, senior citizens in the family, and education moderate the relationship between residential satisfaction and its predictors. The need for design and planning with the user's perspective is highlighted to improve the quality of life.Sustainability 2020, 12, 2344 2 of 22 entails residential satisfaction in such low-income situations remains a blind spot in literature. There is a need to find ways to improve the housing conditions that take into consideration the satisfaction and well-being of the residents [7].When moving from slums to newly built high-rise apartment buildings (slum rehabilitation housing), the residents' physical living conditions were certainly improved. Little is known regarding their social and economic changes. Would the residents sustain in the slum rehabilitation housing in the coming years? This study aims to find out the residential satisfaction of the urban poor living in the slum rehabilitation housing in Mumbai (that is, how satisfied are the residents with the dwelling, building, and neighborhood overall), and its determinants. In doing so, the study explores the moderation effects of sociodemographic characteristics on the relationship between residential satisfaction and its proposed predictors. The goal is to derive recommendations for improving the existing slum rehabilitation housing under the slum rehabilitation program. The results can impact 900 million people including the 5.2 million Mumbai population who live in urban informal settlements or slums [8]. Additionally, the study contributes to developing approaches for sustainable urban renewal. According to Renigier-Biłozor et al.[9], a rating system shortens the time and brings objectivity in the decision-making process. So, understanding the factors affecting residential satisfaction is crucial for planning an effective and sustainable rehabilitation housing policy.The traditional mass housing design focuses on qu...

“…Location The traditional adage of 'location, location, location' resonates with the parameters of saleability, high appreciation and residential satisfaction (Alias et al 2011;Chuan et al 2012;Wang & Wang 2015). Unsurprisingly, projects that are closer to desirable facilities are deemed to be more attractive and have less risk associated with them in terms of sales and loan assurance (Ibem & Amole 2013;Ponomareva 2012).…”

Malaysian housing developers produce a range of products that has the characteristics of being large, expensive and durable. Nonetheless, the protracted development process exposes the developer to a high level of risk. Previous product development studies had focused on the technical elements of development rather than managerial aspects. This paper examines the contribution of product characteristics to the competitive advantage of Malaysian private housing developers. Using semi-structured snowball interviews, this qualitative study aims to elucidate upon the success factors of private housing developers. Ten successful housing developers were chosen for this research. The findings suggest that successful project management coupled with a product selling price that reflects the location, quality and innovativeness of the product, count toward the developer's reputation and branding. This paper expands the academic housing development literature by providing specific and in-depth information on housing developer products in Malaysia.
