中文摘要：

居住满意度是居民对所居住的住房和社区宜居性的综合评价。尽管近年来,中国的城市地理学者开始关注城市重构与居住分异背景对社区邻里关系、社会互动及居民的社区满意度的影响,已有研究对社区社会资本与居住满意度之间因果机制的探讨,缺乏合理的指标构建和实证依据。本文结合城市社会学、地理学和政治学相关理论,构建了一套适合于中国城市转型背景的社区社会资本指标体系,通过对北京市九个中低收入社区的实证研究表明,社区社会资本与居住满意度有显著的正向关系,然而,尽管低收入居民对于邻里信任因素的重视大于对社区组织的信任、邻里互助和共同价值,其在社会资本的几个维度中得分最低。因此,打破社区内的分异与隔阂,建立邻里信任,应当成为社区社会资本建设中首先解决的问题。

英文摘要：

Residential satisfaction is an important concept in assessing residents＇ subjective wellbeing of living environment and quality of life. In the past two decades, scholars have investigated the patterns and factors of residential satisfaction in urban China in the transitional context of urban restructuring and social stratification. Drawing from existing literature, this paper establishes a systematic measurement of social capital that can be applied to the urban China. Particularly, we measure neighborhood social capital by two dimensions—mutual trust and shared values, and community social networks. The dimension of mutual trust and shared values is measured by four indicators, namely the neighborhood trust, shared value, trust towards community organizations and the willingness to support each other. Community social network is measured by strong ties and weak ties. We then explore the role of social capital in residential satisfaction based on a resident survey of nine moderate-to-low income neighborhoods in Beijing conducted in 2010. Results from ordinal regression models show that, in addition to housing conditions and socio-demographic variables, social capital is positively correlated with residential satisfaction. Moreover, different dimensions of social capital tend to have different influence on residential satisfaction to different extents. In particular, among six social capital indicators, mutual trust among residents has the biggest explaining power than the other five indicators.
