Residents' Perceptions of their Neighbourhood: Disentangling Dissatisfaction, a French Survey

Abstract: To avoid the conventional and normative pitfalls of neighbourhood satisfaction scales, the responses to a non-inductive open question identified six statistical types of resident in France. The reasons for their satisfaction or dissatisfaction reflect both personal inclinations and characteristics of the neighbourhood. By controlling for these characteristics, for the local network of relationships, for the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents and the social type of the neighbourhood, poor neig… Show more

“…One of the surprising results of a previous study, however, was the variety of opinions expressed by residents of poor neighbourhoods, ranging from emotional satisfaction to violent rejection, the main reason given for the latter being insecurity (Pan Ké Shon, 2007).

Vision soutenue dans la littérature scientifique, la ville a souvent été conçue comme génératrice de pollution, d'insécurité, de stress, de perte de valeurs et d'un ensemble de problématiques sociales (Damon 2008;Pan Ké Shon 2007). Certes, les Montréalais voient de nombreux inconvénients à la vie urbaine, mais ils valorisent plus l'effervescence économique, la diversité socioculturelle et la multiplicité d'offres en services, en activités et en loisirs qui la caractérisent.…”
