以往的研究大多集中在客观和/或感知的邻里特征对住宅满意度的影响。很少有人关注居住偏好及其实现。本研究假设，居住满意度是不同的个人居住在一个街区的特点，符合他们的喜好和那些居住在一个街区的特点，不符合他们的喜好。因此，住宅满意度取决于是否感知邻里特征匹配居民的喜好的特点。本研究利用双城市的数据，探讨了两个相关问题：邻里特征不匹配对居住满意度的影响以及感知邻里特征对居住满意度的影响。我们发现，使用不匹配的邻里特征或感知邻里特征作为解释变量产生了一些不同的环境相关的住宅满意度。本研究结果显示，改善公园与开放空间、邻里安全与邻里外观，对于提升现有居民的居住满意度具有重要意义。(C)© 2016 Elsevier B.

Previous studies have overwhelmingly focused on the effects of objective and/or perceived neighborhood characteristics on residential satisfaction. Little attention has been paid to residential preferences and their realization. This study hypothesizes that residential satisfaction is different for individuals whose residence is located in a neighborhood with characteristics that match their preferences and those whose residence is located in a neighborhood with characteristics that do not match their preferences. Therefore, residential satisfaction depends upon whether perceived neighborhood characteristics match the resident's preferences for the characteristics. Using data from the Twin Cities, this study explores two related issues: the impact of mismatched neighborhood characteristics on residential satisfaction and the impact of perceived neighborhood characteristics on residential satisfaction. We find that using mismatched neighborhood characteristics or perceived neighborhood characteristics as explanatory variables produces somewhat different environmental correlates of residential satisfaction. Findings from this study suggest that improving-parks and Open Space, neighborhood safety, and neighborhood appearance is important to enhance residential satisfaction of existing residents.
