Factors Influencing Airport Accessibility's Impact on Residential Satisfaction

Purpose: This study explores the impact of airport accessibility and lifestyle convenience on residential satisfaction and recommendation intention in airport-adjacent areas. Airports play a vital role in enhancing transportation efficiency and lifestyle convenience, influencing residents' satisfaction and preferences. Research design, data and methodology: Using a survey-based approach and multiple regression analysis, this study examines two models: Model 1 analyzes residential satisfaction, and Model 2 focuses on recommendation intention. Results: Model 1 results show that commercial/convenience facilities (B = 0.438, p < 0.001) and connectivity to highways and subways (B = 0.296, p = 0.001) significantly enhance residential satisfaction. Conversely, airport proximity (B = -0.302, p < 0.001) and medical/educational facilities (B = -0.227, p = 0.004) negatively affect satisfaction. Model 2 reveals similar findings, with connectivity (B = 0.389, p < 0.001) and commercial facilities (B = 0.312, p = 0.001) positively influencing recommendation intention. Demographic factors, such as age and income, show varied impacts on satisfaction and recommendation intention. Conclusions: The study highlights the need to improve transportation accessibility, expand lifestyle convenience, and address proximity-related challenges like noise and congestion. These findings provide actionable strategies for policymakers and urban planners to enhance living conditions and promote sustainable development in airport-adjacent areas.
