Analysis

The analysis of a neighborhood satisfaction questionnaire involves understanding residents’ views and experiences regarding their neighborhood. The results of the questionnaire can provide useful information on various aspects of daily life in the neighborhood, such as safety, amenities, cleanliness, accessibility to public services, and social cohesion. The data from the questionnaire should be analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitatively, responses can be recorded on rating scales (e.g., from 1 to 5), and averages as well as percentages of positive and negative responses can be calculated for each parameter. Qualitatively, open-ended responses can be categorized and analyzed to identify common themes and concerns expressed by residents.

Objective

The objective of this questionnaire is to gather valuable information and feedback from residents regarding the quality of life in their neighborhood. Through the responses, the aim is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the neighborhood, determine residents’ needs and priorities, and gain a better understanding of the factors that influence their satisfaction. The results of this research will be used to design and implement targeted interventions and improvements, with the ultimate goal of enhancing daily life and promoting the overall well-being of the community.

Scoring

The NS-4 questionnaire consists of 4 items, which are scored as follows:
Agree = 3
No opinion = 1
