The coexistence of high housing prices, a high homeownership rate, and a high vacancy rate in Taiwan's residential market, it could be described as irrational. Under the burden of high housing prices, it is worthwhile for the public and private sectors to explore the residents' satisfaction and influencing factors. Residential satisfaction can be classified as satisfaction with housing and satisfaction with neighborhood. This study employs 14,275 samples in ''2015 Housing Conditions Sample Survey'' to examine the determinants of housing satisfaction and neighborhood satisfaction, respectively. The empirical results reveal several interesting findings. Firstly, neighborhood characteristics had a larger influence compared to housing characteristics. Landscape of neighborhood and environmental decoration and management are the most two important variables affecting the residential satisfaction. Secondly, housing characteristics, such as usage for housing only, housing types, and age of structure significantly affect residential satisfaction. Thirdly, increases in living area per person, the number of rooms, the number of halls, the number of toilets, air conditioner, and the number of energy-efficient facility will increase housing satisfaction. Fourthly, housing ownership, age of the main family financial supporter, average regular monthly income of household, and recent relocation significantly affect housing satisfaction. However, the influences of family characteristics on neighborhood satisfaction are limited. Finally, housing satisfaction and neighborhood satisfaction are both lower in six municipalities comparing with the other non-municipalities, and the degree of neighborhood satisfaction is lower than housing satisfaction. To improve residential satisfaction, the government should consider the above influencing factors and regional differences in the future. |
