Relevant data related to the qualitative attributes of private outside space were collected through both face-to-face interview and observations. The data was analyzed using stepwise, response surface, and multiple regression analyses. Results of the analyses suggested that private outside space satisfaction is indeed affected by privacy, perceived level of yard maintenance, and territorial personalization.
