摘要:The purpose of the research was to assess the reliability of living satisfaction variable in private housing environment. A 47-item survey was developed to explore Non-resident (NR) students experience about their living satisfaction. Items were developed based on demographic data and three domains namely: students’ living condition; students’ social activities; and community facilities & physical surroundings. From this survey, a 37 item scale was established called “students’ living satisfaction scale” for further research. Reliability analysis of this innovative scale established a coefficient alpha of 0.881. Future research should examine not only by students’ perception but examine the factor of living that leads living satisfaction.
