Abstrakt: Urbanization is initiated by a dramatic increase in the city population and is also contributed by an increase in the number of vehicles which subsequently causes traffic congestion. Therefore, the railway transport system is the best alternative mode to be developed to mitigate this issue. The expansion of rail transport in the Klang Valley region is well-established and varied, and numerous stations have been constructed in residential areas for the convenience of local residents. However, the development of this mode of transportation has resulted in satisfaction among the residents. This study's primary purpose is to investigate the elements influencing residents' satisfaction with rail transport development. Environmental quality, convenience, health, development, and property value are the five factors involved. Questionnaires were used to collect the data with the total respondents of 100 in Klang Valley, and the data were analyzed using Relative Important Index (RII). The finding revealed that 'Development' was the factor that the residents were most satisfied with, while the 'Environmental Quality' factor was the most expected to be improved. Furthermore, it is important to consider this factor when developing future rail transport systems within the vicinity of housing development. It is recommended that future studies examine each highlighted component in greater depth. Additionally, new potential elements that may have an effect on the people may be found. This research is advantageous to the real estate industry, particularly to developers and urban planners, for the development of rail transport expansion near residential areas.
