A Re-Examination of Subjective Components of Community Satisfaction in a British New Town

Summary The scalability and dimensionality of the Community Satisfaction Scale were re-examined for a second sample (N = 412) drawn from a British new town after an interval of eight years. The results suggest that both the domain and structure of community satisfaction were malleable and subject to change within a given population, not just between populations. They also provide continued support for the sociocultural approach to human-environment interaction.
