Abstract
Residential satisfaction can be described as a measure of the disparity of the current and preferred neighborhood and housing situation of a household. Many studies have been conducted into the determinants of satisfaction with both the dwelling and the neighborhood. However, these studies do not take into account the waiting time for social housing and how this affects satisfaction. In this study, waiting time for social housing is the main explanatory variable to predict its impact on the satisfaction with the dwelling and the neighborhood. An Ordered Logistic Regression was carried out to investigate whether there is a relationship between the waiting time for a social housing and satisfaction with the dwelling and the neighborhood. The statistical analysis shows that no significant association is found between waiting time and satisfaction with the dwelling as well as waiting time and satisfaction with the neighborhood. In addition, it was investigated whether a difference can be observed between tenants who have refused a dwelling they have been allocated and tenants who have not. The statistical analysis shows no difference in satisfaction with the dwelling or the neighborhood and whether or not to refuse a dwelling offered. Follow-up research based on additional data, including a general measurement of residential satisfaction, is necessary.
