Abstract

To date, many urban centers are plagued with a variety of environmental and social issues which weakens the quality of life of its residents. As a result, there is a trend of outmigration, where urban residents are moving away from these urban centers, contributing to the decline of these traditional economic centers. Maintaining a strong residential presence in the urban centers is important to sustain the place, therefore residents should be encouraged to remain in the urban vicinity rather than to leave. Using Malaysia as a case for the research, this paper explores the determinants to urban residents’ intention to remain. It is suggested that the residents’ intention to remain is affected by both the natural environment, which covers biodiversity and greenery in the neighborhood, as well as the social environment, which covers safety and the sense of community in the neighborhood. The research will be of primary interest to local planning authorities as well as housing developers.
