Title: Size of Place of Residential Preference as Related to Size and Satisfaction with Place of Residence.
Abstract: recent migration turnaround in this country points to the potential importance of size of place of residence for migrants. To determine whether or not size of place is important is the focus of the paper. Three categorical variables, size of present place of residence (6 categories), size of preferred place of residence (6 categories), and level of satisfaction with present place of residence (4 categories) are analyzed to determine whether or not size of place is important in residential preference. Analysis is carried through by utilizing tbt Goodman multivariate contingency table analysis procedure. A parsimonious model depicting how the three variables are re3:ted was not found since they interact with one another. Further analysis of the three-way contingency table produced findings that implicate size as important, especially when dissatisfaction with present place of residence is high. Implications with regard to the recent migrationturnaround are discussed. 1.
