Abstract

The Novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused societal changes, including in terms of work from home (WFH). Since January 2020 in Thailand, several companies have shifted from office workplaces to full-scale or temporary WFH for white-collar employees who achieve professional tasks remotely. Insofar as worker time spent indoors has increased, what is the overall residential satisfaction under WFH during the COVID-19 pandemic? The objective of this research was to investigate overall residential satisfaction predictors for housing, neighborhood, and relevant variables of WFH characteristics pertinent to the COVID-19 pandemic. Data was collected by online and onsite questionnaires from 293 respondents, all white-collar employees who inhabit landed houses. This study is analyzed with multiple linear regression and mean comparison with independent-samples t-test, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results predicting overall residential satisfaction comprised eight vital predictors: 1) neighborhood appearance; 2) house size; 3) ventilation; 4) privacy; 5) comfort without air conditioning; 6) distance from healthcare centers; 7) domestic design, and 8) neighborhood cleanliness, at a significance level of p<0.05. Higher overall residential satisfaction levels were observed to be significant in terms of inhabiting a housing estate & single-detached house, number of WFH days, private workroom, house size, and newness of house.

我们的家准备好在家工作了吗?

2019年新型冠状病毒(COVID-19)大流行引起了社会变化，包括在家工作(WFH)方面的变化。自2020年1月以来，泰国有几家公司已将办公场所改为全面或临时的办公场所，供远程完成专业任务的白领员工使用。就工人在室内的时间增加而言，在COVID-19大流行期间，WFH下的总体居住满意度如何?本研究的目的是调查与COVID-19大流行相关的住房、社区和WFH特征的相关变量的总体居住满意度预测因子。该研究通过在线和现场问卷的方式收集了293名受访者的数据，这些受访者都是有房白领。本研究采用多元线性回归和均值比较、独立样本t检验、单因素方差分析(ANOVA)进行分析。预测总体居住满意度的结果包括八个重要的预测因素:1)邻里外观;2)房屋大小;3)通风;4)隐私;5)无空调舒适;6)与医疗中心的距离;7)家居设计;8)社区清洁度，差异有显著性水平p<0.05。总体而言，较高的居住满意度水平在居住小区和独立住宅，WFH天数，私人工作室，房屋大小和房屋的新鲜度方面具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： For investigation regarding the impact of planning policy on spatial planning implementation, International review for Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development (IRSPSD International) seeks to learn from researchers in an integrated multidisciplinary platform that reflects a variety of perspectives—such as economic development, social equality, and ecological protection—with a view to achieving a sustainable urban form. This international journal attempts to provide insights into the achievement of a sustainable urban form, through spatial planning and implementation; here, we focus on planning experiences at the levels of local cities and some metropolitan areas in the world, particularly in Asian countries. Submission are expected from multidisciplinary viewpoints encompassing land-use patterns, housing development, transportation, green design, and agricultural and ecological systems.
