Abstract :Individual housing satisfaction is a variable concept according to the relative meaning and importance attributed to the dwelling. It expresses a subjective feeling according to the perception and desires of the individuals. Housing satisfaction shows the extent to which the ideal residence that the owner or user lives with and the current residence that he / she lives with. In this study, the satisfaction of the residents of Erzincan center was investigated using many variables. Horizontal cut data obtained from 383 surveys conducted in 2018 with individuals residing in Erzincan center were analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling. Structural Equation Model results showed that the "Demographic Structure” variable had a positive low level effect (γ = 0.19; t = 3.25) on housing satisfaction. The "Housing Location” variable affects the satisfaction of the house positively and at a high level (γ = 0.83; t = 13.93). The variable "Housing Environment” has a positive and high level effect on housing satisfaction (γ = 0.90; t = 10.69). The "Housing Architecture” variable affects the housing satisfaction (γ = 0.95; t = 14.02) positively and at a very high level. Again, the "Housing Characteristics " variable affects the satisfaction of the house at a high level and positively (γ = 0.90; t = 17.22). There was no interaction between the variable "Socioeconomic Structure" and housing satisfaction.Keywords : Housing Satisfaction, Housing Location, Housing Environment, Structural Equation Modeling, Erzincan
