ABSTRACT

This study analyzed the effect of the living space environment on life satisfaction in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, and examined the moderating effect of traffic accessibility in the causal relationship between the dependent and independent variables. Life satisfaction was selected as the dependent variable of this study, seven aspects of the living space environment as the independent variables, and the indicators of traffic accessibility as the moderating variables. The independent variables of safety, environment, and economy had a positive effect on life satisfaction in Models 1 and 2. However, the independent variables of health and education had a negative effect on life satisfaction in Model 3, which added interaction variables, and traffic accessibility had a positive effect as a moderating effect on health and education. Accordingly, the negative causal relationship between the independent and the dependent variables was reduced. Therefore, this study has the following policy implications. First, it is important to improve the living space environment in order to increase life satisfaction. Second, urban planning that links the living space environment with traffic accessibility can increase life satisfaction.
