| Abstract | This study is a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between living environment and well-being. By analyzing well-being from multiple perspectives, this study clarifies the complex relationship between residents’ satisfaction with their living environment and various aspects of well-being. First, the results of the factor analysis on the living environment revealed that residents’ perceptions of their living environment can be categorized into seven factors. Subsequent regression analysis utilized these factors to assess six well-being indicators: life satisfaction (LS), satisfaction with life scale (SWLS), and four factors of subjective well-being (SWB). The results showed that, first, the LS and SWLS commonly showed a significant relationship for the landscape factor, but only LS significantly correlated with the transportation convenience factor, and only SWLS significantly correlated with the governance and community attractiveness factor. This disparity might stem from LS being a short-term and SWLS being a long-term well-being measure. In addition, each of the four factors of SWB showed a relationship with different factors, diverging from previous studies that considered SWB as a singular indicator. The novelty of this study is that it first focused on the impact of pure living conditions, rather than policies, on well-being, and in addition, it comprehensively analyzed a multifaceted well-being index. The findings underscore the importance of considering various elements in smart city design and implementation to boost residents’ well-being. These insights are crucial for future urban development strategies and local policy formulation. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
