Factor analysis of the influence of neighborhood satisfaction of the elderly: Evidence from Xuzhou, China

ABSTRACT

According to a recent survey of the elderly in Xuzhou, China, neighborhood relationships (NP) have a significant impact on neighborhood satisfaction (0.420), followed by shopping and travel (ST) (0.262). At the same time, public facilities (PF) have a significant impact on neighborhood relationships (NP) (0.323), followed by environmental sanitation (ES) (0.295). This means that Chinese older people pay more attention to neighborhood relationships, while community public facilities and environmental sanitation have a significant impact on neighborhood relationships. Some of the environmental aspects have an impact on neighborhood satisfaction through the social environment.
