Abstract

This study focused on Subjective Well-Being(SWB) of residents in rural area, and investigated how SWB of residents and its determinants differ between areas with different features. We employed the capital approach in this study to analyze how combinations of different capitals would influence on residents' SWB. The city of Nantan was chosen as a case study area, which was divided into three parts (urban/suburban/rural area) using statistical data. Then we compared the mean SWB of residents, and conducted multiple regression analysis to identify which factor had significant effect on SWB of residents in each area. Our analysis clarified that personal factors such as income and health status had similar effect on SWB in all areas while factors related to living circumstances such as road conditions and trust in neighbors had different effect among areas.
