The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between the natural environment of residential areas and the subjective wellbeing of the elderly and the role of elderly's evaluation of the government's environmental protection work in both.
Based on the China Social Survey Database in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, Stata were used to process the data screened according to the restricted conditions. Ordered Probit Model and Sobel were used to test the effect relationship among the variables.
The subjective wellbeing of the elderly is roughly increasing. The natural environment of the living area has a significant positive effect on the subjective wellbeing of the elderly. The evaluation of the elderly on the government's environmental protection work has a positive impact on the elderly's subjective wellbeing similarly and plays an increasingly important intermediary role in the impact of the natural environment in the residential area on the elderly's subjective wellbeing.
To improve the subjective wellbeing of the elderly, the government should continue to play a leading role in coordinating environmental protection and pollution control, strengthen publicity of environmental protection work. Moreover, improve the residential environment governance and protection system oriented by the elderly's evaluation of the government's environmental protection work.
本研究旨在探讨居住环境的自然环境与老年人主观幸福感之间的关系，以及老年人对政府环境保护工作的评价在这两者中的作用。
基于 2013 年、2015 年、2017 年和 2019 年的中国社会调查数据库，使用 Stata 处理根据限制条件筛选后的数据。采用有序 Probit 模型和 Sobel 检验变量之间的效应关系。
老年人的主观幸福感大致呈上升趋势。居住区域的自然环境对老年人的主观幸福感有显著的正向影响。老年人对政府环境保护工作的评价对老年人的主观幸福感也有正向影响，并且在居住区域自然环境对老年人主观幸福感的影响中发挥着越来越重要的中介作用。
为了提高老年人的主观幸福感，政府应继续在协调环境保护和污染控制方面发挥主导作用，加强环境保护工作的宣传。此外，应改善以老年人对政府环境保护工作评价为导向的居住环境治理和保护制度。
