Abstract

The aim of this article is to demonstrate the applicability of the statistical tool of Structural Equation Modeling to the analysis of residential satisfaction, in a rehabilitated neighborhood. The importance of the concept of residential satisfaction in the evaluation and formulation of urban projects, has been gaining more attention in the past decades, thanks to recent investigations that have captured the effects of residential satisfaction and dissatisfaction on the urban environment and its residents. Therefore, the results of this investigation, performed with data from a survey of 397 residents of Embajadores neighborhood in Madrid, shows how, through the analysis of several variables and their relationships, the main aspects to consider in an urban rehabilitation project could be revealed, by the weight it might have over the satisfaction of the individual.
