Abstract
Research regarding the satisfaction of the residents towards the neighbourhood is not longer something new in Malaysia. Like foreign countries, quality of the neigbourhood environment is very much paid attention to. Thus, the neighbourhood quality also plays an important role as an indicator to measure the quality of life (kualiti hidup). The satisfaction level towards the neighbourhood gives an impact on the satisfaction for quality of life. In the foreign countries, "Liveable Neighbourhood", a neighbourhood which is suitable to stay in, is a policy or trend which intends to improve the neighbourhoods environment. Safety, accessibility and friendly to those who walk are the concept which they integrate in their neighbourhood. The aim for the "Liveable Neighbourhood" is to solve the problem which can cause the environment to be unsustainable. For instant, overly dependent to the private transportation, interaction among the people has been decreasing and extreme usage of the natural resources such as petroleum and natural gas. The residents' perception is important as it is a demand for their neighbourhood so that it could improve their quality of life. From this research, even every individual has their unique characteristic in judging their environment, however, the criteria in choosing a suitable neighbourhood is based on the accessibility. It is related to the condition of the traffic in Pulau Pinang which is congestion occasional especially in the trade centre as well as the working area. Due to this reason, it is not surprise that accessibility is the main criteria for resident in choosing the liveable neighbourhood.
