Systematic Model of Residential Satisfaction: Housing Type and Place Attachment

The aim of this study is to examine the correlation of the residential environment with the building size, as well as its differences in different building types. Residential satisfaction is considered in the systemic model as a result of cognitive, affective and conative processes. One of these processes is the residential environment attachment. The study of the connection between residential satisfaction and the type and size of the building showed the presence of a negative relationship between both satisfaction and attachment with the building size and the differences in these constructs in different building types of the city of Moscow, but there was no relationship with evaluated building size. That is why, the importance of spatial characteristics of the living environment for the quality of life is noted, even if the inhabitant does not realize the unfavorability of these characteristics.
