This study aimed to estimate (a) trajectories of life satisfaction before and after housing relocation and (b) how changes in housing tenure at the time of relocation affect life satisfaction trajectories. Using data from the Korea Welfare Panel Study spanning 2006 to 2021 (N = 9,369), we examined the anticipatory, immediate, and long-term impacts of housing relocation on life satisfaction. We employed individual-level fixed effects models. This study also conducted housing tenure-stratified analysis to determine whether changes in tenure at the time of relocation affect the longitudinal association between housing relocation and life satisfaction. Our study found that life satisfaction decreased in the year leading up to housing relocation but showed an immediate increase during the relocation year. However, this rebound did not result in a long-term improvement, as life satisfaction eventually returned to baseline levels. Regarding housing tenure changes, persistent owner-occupiers experienced an immediate increase in life satisfaction during the year of relocation, while persistent renters did not experience any significant changes in life satisfaction before or after relocation. Individuals transitioning from renters to owner-occupiers reported higher levels of life satisfaction both before and after relocation. In contrast, those transitioning from owner-occupiers to renters experienced a decline in life satisfaction before relocation, with no significant changes in the year of relocation or afterward. These findings highlight the varying impacts of housing relocation on life satisfaction, influenced by changes in housing tenure.

本研究旨在估计（a）住房搬迁前后的生活满意度轨迹以及（b）搬迁时住房保有权的变化如何影响生活满意度轨迹。我们利用 2006 年至 2021 年韩国福利小组研究（N = 9,369）的数据，研究了住房搬迁对生活满意度的预期、直接和长期影响。我们采用了个人层面的固定效应模型。本研究还进行了住房保有权分层分析，以确定搬迁时的保有权变化是否影响住房搬迁与生活满意度之间的纵向关联。我们的研究发现，生活满意度在房屋搬迁前一年下降，但在搬迁期间立即上升。然而，这种反弹并没有带来长期的改善，因为生活满意度最终回到了基线水平。在住房权属变化方面，长期自住者在搬迁当年的生活满意度立即提高，而长期租房者在搬迁前后生活满意度没有任何显着变化。从租房者转变为自住者的个人在搬迁前后的生活满意度更高。相比之下，从自住业主转变为租房者的人在搬迁前生活满意度有所下降，搬迁当年及搬迁后没有明显变化。这些发现强调了住房搬迁对生活满意度的不同影响，而这些影响受到住房保有权变化的影响。
