A Study of Residents’ Satisfaction of the TOD Living Environment

This is a study about the transit-oriented development (TOD) environment. Based on the Banqiao MRT Station, the study explores the residents’ satisfaction of the TOD-created living environment, under the influence of resident-environment factors attributed to the efficacy of satisfaction. The methods of descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, factor analysis, t-test, Pearson product-moment analysis, and single factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) are used to analyze the data collected from questionnaires. The results show that with the Pearson product-moment analysis, the five living environment factors are positively correlated to the satisfaction, while the design factor has the highest correlation. Adding the resident factor of gender to the TOD living environment for a t-test, it shows that gender makes no significant variance to the values of TOD living environment characteristics. But when the resident factors of occupation, education, and salary are added to the TOD living environment for a single factor ANOVA, the results reveal that these three resident factors do make significant variance on the second environment factor – high-quality transportation services and the third environment factor – accessibility.
