Popis: Coordinating the construction of villages and towns with the county as the basic unit and promoting the optimal allocation of infrastructure and public utilities within the county is an important measure to improve the rural habitat and enhance the well-being of residents. Using the field survey data from western China and the IPA-Kano model method, this study reveals the importance of the impact of habitat environment on life satisfaction in county seat, town and village communities, and identifies the priorities for improvement and enhancement in light of their actual performance. The empirical analysis found that the three types of communities have some differences in the classification of basic factors, key performance factors and excitement factors, and their priorities for improvement are also different. Overall, the improvement priorities of town and village communities are relatively similar, and the differences between the two types of communities and county seat’s communities are obvious. Differentiated improvement measures should be adopted for different types of communities in order to effectively improve the well-being of residents and achieve rational allocation of public resources.
