Abstract:
The physical, social, and economic aspects affect the quality of life in urban neighborhoods. Housing satisfaction is often used to evaluate residents' perceptions and felling for their housing units and the environment (Ogu, 2002). It is recognized as an essential component of the individual quality of life. The main part of people's lives is spent in their residential neighborhoods. Therefore, neighborhood attributes have a significant impact on peoples' quality of life. It is essential to improve neighborhood satisfaction and residents' quality of life in the residential environment. Thus, this study is aimed to present a literature review on housing satisfaction and neighborhood attributes (physical, social, and economic). In order to find the relevant data, a number of literature sources have been conducted to identify previous publications and studies. This is to provide insight into the relationship between housing satisfaction and neighborhood environments, in which physical, social, and economic attributes should be taken into account in residential envivornment. It highlights the interdisciplinary dimensions of housing and neighborhood satisfaction and provides useful suggestions for future studies.
