Abstract
Recent decades, as the rapid development of urbanization in China, there is a lot of evidence showing that people living in high-density urban spaces are experiencing increased rates of stress and depression, and the living environment takes an important role in this situation. Based on this context, the identification of comprehensive community design factors from the perspective of residential well-being, which combines social, environmental and emotional aspects, can be urgently needed. A list of appropriate factors related to residential well-being is developed in this paper. Taking urban community as a case study, this paper aims to explore a set of environmental factors related to residential well-being in the living environment in China. The results need to be applied to real Chinese community design cases in order to prove the generalization.
