An Empirical Study on Campus Dwelling Environment Quality in Beijing and Its Influencing Factors

Abstract

Combining with the current dwelling environmental assessment system, this article reviews the domestic and foreign theoretical documents, and tries to construct an evaluation model based on the influencing factors of campus dwelling environment quality in Beijing, including natural landscape, amenities and cultural environment. The research indicates that the campus dwelling environment quality is linearly related with and can be effectively predicted by these three factors. It also shows that the regression coefficient of cultural environment is the highest among the three; but most interviewees didn’t appraise their campus dwelling environment quality high. Therefore, colleges in Beijing need to improve especially in the following three aspects – gas power system (natural landscape), population density (amenities) and manager quality (cultural environment) – to make the campus dwelling environment clean pleasant and eco-friendly.
