Residential satisfaction and quality of urban life: examining diverse housing environments

“…However, we found that the "housing type" had a greater impact on housing satisfaction and overall QoUL. On the other hand, it supports the view that urban services and facilities are effective in improving residential satisfaction in high-rise residential areas (Azimi and Esmaeilzadeh, 2017;Komalawati and Lim, 2021;Ma et al, 2018). Findings from this study are also supported by earlier studies highlighting that high-rise buildings undermine the local-specific nature of cities, creating off-scale and out-of-context and uncomfortable places reducing the quality of housing is also substantiated (Abusaada and Elshater, 2021;Al Kodmany and Ali, 2013;MacLean and Salama, 2021).…”

“…Besides, Du et al (2017) found in their study comparing urban and suburban life in the USA that the residents of urban high-rise residences have significantly higher satisfaction scores than those of suburban low-rise residences. Research dealing with the perceptions of individuals' QoUL in the context of different residential environments shows that the amenities of the residential environments formed at different stages of urbanization may differ and the perception of satisfaction of individuals is affected depending on the change in environmental qualities (Hadavi and Kaplan, 2016;Komalawati and Lim, 2021;Zhang et al, 2020). Research has shown that residents living in housing types of comparable common value perceive their Examining diverse housing environments residential environment similarly (Buys and Miller, 2012).…”

“…Researchers state that the physical characteristics of the residential areas affect the residential satisfaction of the individuals (Hadavi and Kaplan, 2016; Komalawati and Lim, 2021). Besides, research has shown that there may be differences in the provision of urban services in residential environments with differing building arrangements (Du et al ., 2017; Gür and Yüksel, 2019).…”

“…Additionally, some research demonstrates that the possibilities of a housing environment may also differ across different production eras depending upon the housing policy of a society (Hadavi and Kaplan, 2016;Komalawati and Lim, 2021;Zhang et al, 2020). In this context, within the framework of improving the QoUL of individuals, it is an important requirement to conduct research in periods where there is a change that can be observed regarding the housing environments that differ within the framework of the qualities related to the urban form, such as building type and layout.…”

Emergence of mobilization challenger in the field: An anti-redevelopment movement of Rumah Susun Klender in East Jakarta

“…These days, the construction of vertical housing in Indonesia is still prone to issues, such as the land market (availability and price of land) (Komalawati & Lim, 2020), as well as poor management of flats which often results in horizontal conflicts between residents and P3SRS (Widhana, 2017). Issues related to poor management often include lack of financial transparency and corruption (Hidayat & Sumandoyo, 2017).…”
