This study aims to understand the level of residential satisfaction of the host communities' aftermath of the influx of Rohingya in Bangladesh. A total of 151 household heads were randomly interviewed from Ukhiya and Ramu Upazila of Cox's Bazar district, Bangladesh. A residential satisfaction index is developed with a total of twenty-two variables comprised of four components- social environment (SE), neighbourhood environment (NE), public services and facilities (PS&F), and dwelling units (DU). The coefficients of the components indicate that the PS&F, SE, and NE impact much on the overall residential satisfaction compare to the DU. The analysis demonstrates that the people who have tertiary level education, who is Muslim and whose work opportunities remain the same as before, are more satisfied, but older people are less satisfied than younger. Besides, the degradation of social harmony, livestock and agricultural land losses, and decreased wages were the significant causes of dissatisfaction. These findings may contribute to taking appropriate policies and programs for the host communities taken by the government and non-government organizations.
本研究旨在了解孟加拉国若开邦 Ukhiya 和 Ramu 行政区的罗兴亚人涌入后，当地居民的居住满意度水平。我们从 151 户家庭户主中随机抽取了 151 户，进行了调查。我们用总共包含四个组成部分的二十个变量来制定一个居住满意度指数，这四个组成部分是社会环境 (SE)、邻里环境 (NE)、公共服务和设施 (PS&F) 和住宅单元 (DU)。这些系数表明，与住宅单元相比，公共服务和设施、社会环境和邻里环境对整体居住满意度的影响更大。分析表明，受教育程度在第三级以上、是穆斯林教徒且工作机会与之前相同的人会更满意，但老年人比年轻人的满意度低。此外，社会和谐的恶化、牲畜和农田的损失以及工资的减少是导致不满的主要原因。这些发现可能有助于政府和非政府组织为收容社区制定适当的政策和方案。
