“…For example, environmental cleanliness and the quality of buildings in and appearance of the neighborhood are said to have positive effects on neighborhood satisfaction (Hur & Morrow-Jones, 2008;Permentier et al, 2011). Crowdedness or population density is found to negatively impact residential satisfaction (Galster & Hesser, 1981), although compact design is reported to have positive effects in another study (Yang, 2008). Safety concerns and the presence of bothersome problems, such as noise, are found to negatively impact neighborhood satisfaction and choice (Lu, 1999;Parkes et al, 2002;Wang & Li, 2006).…”

The existing literature has documented that housing conditions, neighborhood characteristics, and socioeconomics are important determinants of residential satisfaction. However, the contribution of the actual usage of the residential environment to residential satisfaction has rarely been studied. To help fill in this gap, this study examines the contribution of the usage of housing and neighborhoods as well as the affective residential experience to residential satisfaction. We apply a subjective well-being framework and consider residential satisfaction and residential affective experience as two constituent components of the residential domain subjective well-being. Data were collected in Beijing from November 2011 to June 2012. The results show that home and neighborhood activities significantly affect residential satisfaction; higher levels of valence and activation of daily activities at home and in the neighborhood lead to more residential satisfaction.

“…This implies that residential aspirations or preferences have a large influence on residential satisfaction. If the current housing situation is about similar to the aspirations, then satisfaction should occur (Galster and Hesser 1981; Galster 1985). If there is a discrepancy between the actual housing situation and the preferred housing situation, dissatisfaction may be present (Mason and Faulkenberry 1978; Gärling and Friman 2002; Amérigo 2002).…”

“…This discrepancy is also known as the have-want discrepancy (e.g., Wu 2008). Thus, residential satisfaction provides an indication of the difference between a household’s actual and preferred housing situation (Galster and Hesser 1981). …”

This study focuses on residents’ perceptions of residential quality concerning 23 different dwelling aspects. Respondents were asked to indicate their appreciation of these dwelling aspects on a scale ranging from 0 (“extremely unattractive”) to 100 (“extremely attractive”). The influence of two potential factors on the appreciation of dwelling aspects is examined: (1) preference and (2) experience. It was hypothesized that residents who live according to their preferences give higher appreciation scores than residents who do not. This should even apply to low-quality housing. Furthermore, it was argued that residents appreciate their current housing situation more than residents who do not live in that particular housing situation. This effect should be independent of preference. The impact of both preference and of experience could be confirmed. The results also showed an interaction effect between preference and experience: the positive effect of experience on appreciation is larger in residents who live in a housing situation that they do not prefer. This result would be expected if the impact of experience works to decrease the ‘gap’ in residential satisfaction due to the discrepancy between what residents have and what they want. In conclusion, why is housing always satisfactory? In this paper, housing is satisfactory because the ‘gap’ between what residents want and what they have is small; residents seem to have realistic aspirations. Furthermore, residents appreciate what they already have, even if this is not what they prefer.

Zerrin Ezgi KAHRAMAN, Suna Senem ÖZDEMİRBu çalışmada bir işçi kooperatifi tarafından inşa edilmiş, Ankara Altındağ Belediyesi Altınpark Mahallesi sınırları içinde bulunan Türk-iş Blokları'nda konut memnuniyeti ve kentsel dönüşüme ilişkin eğilim incelenmiştir. Alan 2013 yılında riskli alan ilan edilmiştir. Dönüşümü sözkonusu olan alandan ve mevcut konutlardan hangi unsurlar dolayısıyla memnun olunup olunmadığı ve kullanıcıların kentsel dönüşü-mü isteyip istemedikleri yapılan saha araştırması ile ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmanın veri toplama yöntemini alanda yaşayan-larla gerçekleştirilen derinlemesine mülakatlar ve anketler oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada konuta, konut çevresine ve konut kullanıcılarına dair nitelikler açısından bir sorgulama gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular yaşanılan konutlardan ve alandan memnun olanların oranının oldukça yüksek olduğunu, bu memnuniyetin yaş ve oturma süresi arttıkça arttığını göstermektedir. Nüfusun homojen ve istikrarlı oluşu konutlarını ihtiyaçlarına göre düzenlemelerine, alanda mekânsal, sosyal ve duygusal bir bağ kurulmasına imkân vermiştir. Mahalle kimliğine sahip alanın en güçlü yanları komşuluk ilişkileri, kentsel hizmetlerin erişilebilirliği, yeterliliği ve yeşil alan dokusudur. Konutlarda tesisat, alanda ise spor/kültür tesislerinin yetersizliği ve son zamanlarda gündeme gelen güvenlik ve otopark sorunu dışında memnun olunmayan bir konu yoktur. Alanda kentsel dönüşüm isteyenlerin oranı istemeyenlerin oranından düşüktür. Dönüşümün gerçekleşmesini isteyenlerin ise dönüşümden beklentileri oldukça yüksektir. Mevcuttaki mekânsal imkânların korunması kaydıyla dönüşümün alandaki ve konutlardaki tüm sorunları çözeceği, konforlu ve lüks bir yaşam sunacağı ve haksahiplerinin ekonomik pozisyonlarını iyileştireceği algısı yaygındır.
