ABSTRACT
This study explores the determinants of location satisfaction in Slum Rehabilitation Housing (SRH) within Raipur, India, a city grappling with rapid urbanization and an increasing number of informal settlements. By examining two Slum Rehabilitation cases Telibandha (in-situ redevelopment) and Bhatagaon (relocation site), the research assesses how locational factors influence residents' satisfaction levels. Employing a systematic survey method, the study identifies key determinants, such as proximity to amenities, healthcare, education, transportation, and workplaces, and evaluates their impact on the perceived quality of life. The findings reveal significant disparities between the two Slum Rehabilitation Housing sites, with Telibandha generally demonstrating higher satisfaction due to better integration with urban infrastructure. At the same time, Bhatagaon faces challenges related to its peripheral location and limited access to essential services. Quantitative analysis highlights that satisfaction with transportation, health facilities, and commercial amenities strongly correlates with overall locational satisfaction. The results underscore the critical role of strategic location planning in the success of Slum Rehabilitation housing projects, emphasizing the need for equitable access to urban resources. This research contributes to the discourse of slum rehabilitation housing by offering actionable insights for policymakers to design inclusive, sustainable housing solutions that enhance the well-being of marginalized communities.
