Spatial structure and subjective well-being in North-West Europe
研究结合生活满意度与区域空间结构数据，发现多中心程度与幸福感正相关，分散程度与幸福感负相关，且分散区域中多中心结构对幸福感有更积极影响。
This study examines the relationship between regions’ spatial organization and subjective well-being in North-West \nEurope. Combining data on life satisfaction with data on the spatial structure of regions, we find that the degree of \npolycentricism is positively associated and dispersion is negatively associated with life satisfaction. At the same time, \nthe results indicate that in more dispersed regions, people experience more positive effects of polycentric structures \nthan in more centralized regions, while residents of more urbanized polycentric regions report lower levels of life \nsatisfaction compared with residents of less urbanized polycentric regions. Likewise, the findings suggest that urban \nresidents living in polycentric regions are less satisfied compared with their rural counterparts.
