Predicting community satisfaction among rural residents: an integrative model.

摘要

It is noted that community satisfaction has often been linked to the level of satisfaction with a community's infrastructure, job opportunities, and social support networks. Yet most empirical analyses of community satisfaction have focused on onlyone aspect of the available theory to predict community satisfaction. The paper integrates multiple models to analyse community satisfaction of almost 4,000 rural Nebraskans, USA. Data were collected during 1997. The integrated model indicates that social ties may have a greater role in predicting community satisfaction than had been thought previously.
