Abstract

The place where we live has a significant impact on the way we live, feel and assess our lives. Housing conditions, the characteristics of the neighborhood around the dwelling or of the community, and commuting conditions have a relationship with the multidimensional construct of well-being. This paper examines the roles that home and the community play in well-being. Background literature on quality of life, well-being and its domains and the role of the place where we live is interpreted in the paper. The empirical analysis aims to describe the relationships between home and well-being and the community and well-being. The quantitative method used to conduct this investigation included a representative survey in Hungary. Our results confirm previous research findings in many areas (weak or moderate significant relationships between some sociodemographic and other often-examined well-being domains and well-being) and identify weak and positive significant relationships between home and well-being and the community and well-being. The overall well-being of the Hungarian population is significantly influenced by their attachment to their community.

我们居住的地方的力量:家庭和社区在幸福中扮演什么角色?

我们居住的地方对我们的生活方式、感受和评估我们的生活有着重大的影响。住房条件、住宅或社区周围的邻里特征以及通勤条件与幸福感的多维结构有关系。本文探讨了家庭和社区在幸福感中所扮演的角色。关于生活质量的背景文献，幸福和它的领域和我们居住的地方的作用在论文中解释。实证分析旨在描述家庭与幸福感、社区与幸福感之间的关系。用于进行这项调查的定量方法包括在匈牙利进行有代表性的调查。我们的研究结果证实了之前在许多领域的研究结果(一些社会人口统计学和其他经常被检查的幸福领域和幸福之间存在弱或中等显著的关系)，并确定了家庭和幸福以及社区和幸福之间存在弱和积极的显著关系。匈牙利人对社区的依恋极大地影响了他们的整体福祉。
