Abstract

type="main" xml:lang="en"> We conducted a questionnaire survey in the Kanto area regarding people's dissatisfaction with various aspects of their dwelling environment. Dissatisfaction with access to transportation, shopping, and medical facilities is an important reason for moving house. The empirical results from a probit model imply that increased economic wealth improves satisfaction with proximity to transportation, shopping, and medical facilities but does not reduce dissatisfaction with living costs, whereas aging increases satisfaction not only with proximity to transportation, shopping, and medical facilities, but also with living costs and family and acquaintances.
