Abstract

Aim: This study aims to analyze and present satisfaction levels of users of housing interior spaces as per the variables of the housing ownership structure, the housing size, the number of rooms in the housing unit, and the housing type. Also, the study aims to address the housing features and quality as factors affecting satisfaction with the housing unit. Method: In the context of this study designed as quantitative research, to form the research sample, approximately 134 households were contacted, and a survey form was administered to these households on a face-to-face basis. For the administration of the survey form, all research participants were selected with the simple random sampling technique, and the ethical endorsement for the research was received from the Ethics Committee. The research data collected with the survey form were analyzed with computer software, the Statistical Package for Social Science. Findings: In the study, it was found that participants had high levels of satisfaction with all spaces of the housing unit as per the housing size and the number of rooms in the housing unit. Upon the analysis of the levels of satisfaction with the landscape configuration of the living spaces, it was discerned that housing renters had higher levels of satisfaction with the landscape configuration of the living spaces than housing owners. The data on levels of satisfaction with the landscape configuration of the living spaces indicate that participants residing in detached houses in low-rise housing estates and participants residing in apartments in housing estates had higher levels of satisfaction with the landscape configuration of the living spaces than those residing in apartments in single buildings. Conclusion: At the end of the analysis, it was discerned that the variable of the housing ownership structure had no effect on the satisfaction of the housing interior space user.
