| Abstract |
This study examines the impact of housing location factors on lease renewal intentions among single-person households, with a particular focus on the mediating role of residential satisfaction. Hypothesis testing revealed that the educational environment, convenience facilities, medical and welfare services, and undesirable facilities all had significant positive effects on renewal intention, with undesirable facilities having the strongest influence. Similarly, the residential environment, safety, convenience facilities, medical and welfare services, and undesirable facilities significantly influenced residential satisfaction, with convenience facilities having the greatest impact. Residential satisfaction itself had a strong positive effect on renewal intention and was confirmed to mediate the relationship between both the safety environment and the medical and welfare environment with renewal intention. However, this study has several limitations, including the limited representativeness of the sample, as the online survey was conducted solely in the Busan area, and the use of a self-reported, cross-sectional research design. Future research should expand the geographic scope, incorporate qualitative methods, employ a longitudinal design, and explore variations based on housing type. |
