Abstract:As an important component of urban construction, the community sustainable construction is of great significance to the social development. Despite the importance of the social dimension of community sustainability, it has received relatively little attention when compared to the sustainability of environmental and economic dimensions. Based on the literature review, it is found that the social dimension of the sustainable community, such as residents' psychological feelings, social capital, has a strong effect on the sustainability of communities. This paper, therefore, conducts an empirical study on the mediating role of emotion experience on the associations between social capital and life satisfaction. Research on the relationship between them can help to generate synergies and strengthen the effect of promoting community sustainable development. A total of 229 complete responses from residents in China is used for data analysis. Results from the multiple linear regression analysis indicate that social capital has the significant positive effect on life satisfaction; the influence of social capital on life satisfaction is partly mediated by positive and negative affect, the social capital improves the life satisfaction through promoting positive affect, while it enhances the life satisfaction through restraining the negative affect. Based on the relationship between them, the relevant recommendations for the measures on the sustainable community can be proposed.

“…The SCI is commonly used in the neighbourhood context (Davidson & Cotter, 1986) but it has also been adapted (e.g., 'block' changed to 'your workplace', 'neighbours' to 'workmates') and in studies dealing with other geographic and relational communities including workplaces (Pretty et al, 1992;Price, 1985), educational settings (e.g. Royal & Rossi, 1996), urban communities (Chavis & Wandersman, 1990;Thueson, 2000) and professional nursing environments (Biester, 1994). Construct validity of the SCI has been established by several qualitative studies (e.g.…”

Sense of community has four elements: 1) membership, 2) influence, 3) integration and fulfillment of needs, 4) shared emotional connection. It is a term often used in relation to a geographic location, as in a neighbourhood, town or region. However, the concept encompasses much more than location and is often extended to include the work environment and relationships people build with co-workers. Scant attention has been paid to developing and testing the construct among nursing communities. This study explores how a theoretical conceptualisation of sense of community applies to nurses; describes the development of the Nurse Sense of Community Index (NSCI), and reports the results of a survey (N = 672) of New Zealand nurses.Key findings relate to high membership and low influence subscale scores, low levels of sense of community among the youngest nurses, and high levels among those working in speciality areas (i.e., small, close-knit workplaces). In addressing these issues it is recommended that early-career nurses be placed in smaller sized workplaces or teams and that preceptor and mentor programmes be used to enhance the development of sense of community among mid-career nurses. Significantly, findings demonstrate the presence of a sense of community among nurses and provide evidence that the NSCI reliably measures the construct.
