Abstract The purpose of this study is to find out the influence of personal and environmental attributes on residential satisfaction and to suggest an alternative evaluation methodology with new items and analysis methods. This study classified evaluation items into objective and subjective aspects, on both physical and social levels, and analyzed the relationship between residential satisfaction and major factors. The findings were as follows. First, among environmental attributes house size and master bedroom size had significant influence on residential satisfaction. Second, in personal characteristics home ownership, adjustment of house and number of bedroom per person gave large impact on residential satisfaction. Third, multiple regression analysis revealed that the factors explained a 42.3% of residential satisfaction. These results may be useful to plan apartments and new towns. Further research is required to improve the environment evaluation methodology for practical designing.
