Moderating Effect of Pedestrian Environment on Neighborhood Satisfaction : Focused on the ‘Seoul Housing Survey’ 2017

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the moderating effects between various factors that affect neighborhood satisfaction and a perceived pedestrian environmental characteristic. Based on responses from survey participants, a built environment and the perceived neighborhood environment, which influenced neighborhood satisfaction, were analyzed. The results are as follows. First, the negative effects of personal and household perceptions on neighborhood satisfaction were alleviated. Second, concerning the perceived environmental characteristics of neighborhoods, a slightly different moderating effect was identified in the relationship between access to commercial facilities, noise, and neighbors, and a policy of pedestrian environmental improvement that considers these factors is required. Finally, the relationship with walking activity was negative or insignificant, but this may be because of the physical environmental characteristics of the neighborhood. In conclusion, a deeper understanding of residents’ personal needs, wants, and local social considerations are required to provide and improve pedestrian-friendly urban environments.
