influential factors on the happiness of people's lives
are health, safety, family household harmony, leisure
time, home and amenities, and affection. T test
results show t count significance smaller than alpha
significance (Table 3). Contribution of influence of
six dimension to the lifes happiness of society of
Sidoarjo equal to 59,8% with adjusted R square
0,598. While the rest of 40.2 influenced other factors
not included in this research model.
The contribution of the influence of each
dimension to the lifes happiness varies considerably.
Health contributes to the impact of happiness of
7.3%. Environmental safety contributes to the
impact of happiness of 9.2%. Dimension of affection
in the form of feeling happy, happy to give
forgiveness to others who do wrong to him, fortitude
in the face of disaster is also able to give happiness
for one person in enjoying life, that is equal to 4.3%.
The dimensions that contribute considerable
influence to the lifes happiness are the leisure time
(13.7%), household harmony (14%), and home and
amenities (25.5%).
Factors that do not affect the happiness of
community life include education, employment,
income, social relations, transportation, and
environmental conditions. The influence of these six
factors, based on the t test, is very small. There are
even two variables whose contribution influence is
inversely (the result is negative), namely education
and income. Education does not have a significant
impact on one's happiness because education is only
a medium to get jobs with decent income. The same
thing is also affirmed Seligman (2002) that
education does not affect one's happiness. It only has
an effect on improving happiness for low-income
people because education is a medium for better
income. Social relationships have no effect on the
happiness of one's life. This finding is different from
the results of the study Prasetyo (2015) which says
that a person's happiness is affected their social
relationships with others as well as the full
involvement.
