Estudo do comportamento da satisfação residencial em relação às características da habitação e de seus moradores

Abstract

The present study conducts a detailed analysis of residential satisfaction and housing performance variables in relation to the socioeconomic attributes of residents, using data from two distinct residential satisfaction surveys. Through a series of correlation analyses, the study identifies how different resident profiles perceive and value the characteristics of their homes, finding that monetary income, residence size, and the number of rooms per person are significant factors influencing satisfaction with the home, its environment, and the willingness to recommend it. Discriminant analysis reveals that variables like neighborhood maintenance, housing location, and neighborhood safety are key differentiators between residents of houses and apartments, while a difference in data collection methods is identified as a potential source of disparity between the two surveys. The analysis further demonstrates that individuals with higher purchasing power tend to reside in homes with better characteristics, leading to greater overall satisfaction, and that for larger residences, exterior appearance, the neighborhood, and the willingness to recommend the home are significant differentiators, with the latter being the most influential. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the factors that drive residential satisfaction, offering valuable insights for public policy, real estate developers, and urban planning.
