Description
Residential satisfaction is a frequently studied topic in recent decades as it can offer important insights into the quality of residential environment, beneficial both from theoretical perspective as well as for practical purposes. One of the most prominently used methods of measuring residential satisfaction is the use of self-assessment questionnaires measuring satisfaction by assessing satisfaction with individual aspects of the residential environment. Developmental process of these questionnaires often takes an ad hoc approach, especially in terms of the selection of aspects to be included in questionnaire items, i.e. for the purposes of the study at hand, often without providing a solid rationale for the selection of these aspects. To authors’ best knowledge, there are no established criteria and justifications for including specific aspects of the residential environment in the measurement of satisfaction, and also no reviews of these aspects to date. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to provide a systematic review of aspects of residential environment (on dwelling with building and neighbourhood levels), included in the residential satisfaction questionnaires. Since these include a great variability of aspects on many levels of specificity, the additional aim of the study is to categorize these aspects to possibly arrive at a comprehensive list of included aspects of environment in residential satisfaction questionnaires while also recognizing the most prominent categories used in the reviewed questionnaires.
