Abstract
In this research paper the relationship between place attachment and residential satisfaction will be investigated. The research aim is to discover whether or not place attachment has a significant effect on residential satisfaction. The main research question used to accomplish this is “Does place attachment have a significant effect on residential satisfaction in the Dutch population?”. The results from this study will be useful in an academic setting because little is known about the effect of place attachment on residential satisfaction. Additionally, the results from this study will also be useful for planners, architects and policy makers. First the existing literature on the determinants for place attachment and residential satisfaction was studied. After that the WoON data 2018 was analyzed to determine whether or not there was a significant relationship between residential satisfaction and place attachment, as well as other variables that influence place attachment. An ordinal logistic regression was used to perform the statistical analysis. Furthermore the strength and the direction of the significant relationships were studied. The main conclusions from this study is that there is a significant positive relationship between place attachment and residential satisfaction meaning that if residents are feeling more attached to their current place of residence, they are also more likely to report higher levels of residential satisfaction (1). In addition to that, being involved in the community also leads to more residential satisfaction as well as being willing to improve the neighborhood (2). Furthermore, feeling safe in the neighborhood and being in good health also have a significant positive effect on residential satisfaction (3). Both age and overall satisfaction have a negative effect on residential satisfaction, in other words, getting older and being overall satisfied with life doesn’t necessarily lead to higher levels of residential satisfaction (4).
