“…Consistently with other studies (Nygren, 2007;Waziri, 2014) we found that housing attributes influence life satisfaction. In fact, a poorly equipped house showed to have a negative impact on life satisfaction.…”

Life satisfaction is one of the constructs that constitute subjective well-being and thus represents an important measure in evaluating the quality of life in older adults. The goal of this study was to identify which predictors were more strongly associated with life satisfaction in a community of older adults living in Tomsk (Siberia, Russia). We analysed the preliminary data from the Monitoring Wellbeing in Older Adults Survey conducted in 2014. A subset of items corresponding to socio-demographic, physical and psychological health, social support, social interaction, and independence aspects were extracted and included in the analysis. Two hundred eighty-four respondents (212 female, age range: 52-91) participated in the study. In this sample, 68% of the respondents reported to be satisfied with their life. Logistic regression analysis showed that having a higher income level, a well-equipped house, and a lower level of anxiety and loneliness are associated with an increase in life satisfaction in older adults. These results suggest that both material aspects and psychological health could play an important role in determining the quality of life of older adults. This study provides helpful clues about which factors should be more deeply investigated in the future development of the survey.

“…The tenant subsystem comprises personal characteristics of residents commonly operationalised along demographic and socioeconomic status (SES) variables. These are gender, age, marital status, education, length of residency, tenure, household size, income and typology (Ibem et al, 2018;Makinde, 2015;Waziri et al, 2014). The dwelling system is often unbundled as housing features and services.…”

Residential satisfaction has been employed to assess housing environments across several disciplines. However, measurement of variables remains an issue across large and small samples. This study assesses residential satisfaction in Gombe, Northeast Nigeria using the Housing Habitability System framework to ascertain it's consistency across different locations and sample sizes. A mixed methodology including informal interviews and a questionnaire survey of 41 public housing residents in Gombe analysed in SPSS for descriptive and inferential statistics revealed that findings were consistent with four characteristics of residential satisfaction studies employing the framework identified across the country from previous studies. Specifically, results established that residents of public housing in Gombe were generally dissatisfied with their housing environments. Additionally, satisfaction followed the dwelling-neighbourhood-management sequence found in literature. Eight components extracted from principal component analysis reflect housing conditions in the study area. The study concludes that measurements based on tenets of Housing Habitability System framework produces consistent results across regions and different sample sizes and is beneficial for comparative purposes towards improvement of residential satisfaction research in Nigeria.

“…The availability of amenities, facilities and services in proximity of a dwelling is yet another factor of residential satisfaction (Waziri, et al, 2014). The factors studied in this context include: local employment opportunities, the efficiency of public transport and access to recreational areas (Balestra & Sultan, 2013).…”

The paper aims to investigate factors connected with the residential satisfaction of the adolescents and to compare them with the factors influencing residential satisfaction among adults. The primary research was conducted in secondary schools in the Bialystok Functional Area. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and a multinomial logistic regression model. The results show that living standards are a crucial issue in residential satisfaction. Living in an owner-occupied dwelling and having one’s own room reduced the likelihood of being dissatisfied with housing.
