Rarely do we know the perception toward neighbourhoods in people specifically with health conditions. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to understand the perception toward neighbourhoods among adults with a series of the existing health conditions in a country-wide and population-based setting. Data were retrieved from and analysed in Scottish Household Survey, 2007-2008. Information on demographics, self-reported health conditions and perception toward neighbourhoods and the surrounding facilities was obtained by household interview. Analysis including chi-square test, t test and logistic regression modelling were performed. Of 19,150 Scottish adults (aged 16-80) included in the study cohort, 1079 (7.7 %) people were dissatisfied with their living areas; particularly for those who experienced harassment (15.4 %), did not recycle or with dyslexia, chest, digestive, mental and musculoskeletal problems. Twenty to forty per cent reported common neighbourhood problems including noise, rubbish, disputes, graffiti, harassment and drug misuse. People with heart or digestive problems were more dissatisfied with the existing parks and open space. People with arthritis, chest or hearing problems were more dissatisfied with the waste management condition. People with dyslexia were more dissatisfied with the existing public transportation. People with heart problems were more dissatisfied with the current street cleaning condition. People with hearing, vision, speech, learning problems or dyslexia were also more dissatisfied with sports and recreational facilities. People with heart, chest, skin, digestive, musculoskeletal, vision, learning, speech and mental disorders and dyslexia were more dissatisfied with their current neighbourhood environments. Upgrading neighbourhood planning to tackle social environment injustice and put pleasant life experience as priorty would be suggested.

我们很少了解患有特定健康状况的人群对社区的看法。因此，本研究的目的是在全国范围内、基于人群的背景下，了解患有一系列现有健康状况的成年人对社区的看法。数据取自2007 - 2008年苏格兰家庭调查并进行分析。通过家庭访谈获取了人口统计学信息、自我报告的健康状况以及对社区和周边设施的看法。进行了包括卡方检验、t检验和逻辑回归建模在内的分析。在纳入研究队列的19150名苏格兰成年人（年龄在16 - 80岁之间）中，1079人（7.7%）对他们的居住区域不满意；特别是那些遭受骚扰的人（15.4%）、不进行垃圾分类回收的人、患有诵读困难症、胸部疾病、消化系统疾病、精神疾病和肌肉骨骼疾病的人。20%至40%的人报告了常见的社区问题，包括噪音、垃圾、纠纷、涂鸦、骚扰和药物滥用。患有心脏或消化系统疾病的人对现有的公园和开放空间更不满意。患有关节炎、胸部疾病或听力问题的人对废物管理状况更不满意。患有诵读困难症的人对现有的公共交通更不满意。患有心脏疾病的人对当前的街道清洁状况更不满意。患有听力、视力、言语、学习问题或诵读困难症的人对体育和娱乐设施也更不满意。患有心脏、胸部、皮肤、消化系统、肌肉骨骼、视力、学习、言语和精神障碍以及诵读困难症的人对他们当前的社区环境更不满意。建议升级社区规划以解决社会环境不公问题，并将愉快的生活体验作为优先事项。个体健康与社区健康的图形摘要相互关系。
