%X This research set out to investigate how qualities of street, sense of place and subjective well-being are interrelated with each other under the context of Groningen. 3 types of streets were selected as area of study, known as traffic calming residential street, street with large area of greenery / next to a park, and finally the streets in city centre. Research was done by studying various works from different academics. Result shows that the qualities of streets is a significant factor contributing to residents’ sense of place and subjective well-being, while among the 10 defined street qualities, things to see and do serves the best in terms of predictive power of sense of place and subjective well-being. Result also proves that there is positive relationship between sense of place and subjective wellbeing. However, there is no statistically significant result showing that duration of residency contributes to stronger sense of place, which could partly explained by the multi-faceted nature of sense of place, that it can emerge from daily interpersonal experiences regardless of the environment one is in.
