<![CDATA[This study examines subjective well-being (SWB)—encompassing perceived experiences, personal evaluations of positive and negative emotions, and life satisfaction (both general and domain-specific)—among residents of a densely populated settlement in Cilincing, North Jakarta. The measurement of psychological well-being reflects aspects of mental health related to self-acceptance and perceived social support. The quantitative study involved a sample of 109 individuals, all residing in RT 005/RW 001, Gang Kerang Ijo. The results indicate that the contribution of Perceived Social Support (PSS) to SWB (50.4%) was higher than that of Self-Acceptance (SA) (31.2%). These findings suggest that greater perceived social support and higher levels of self-acceptance are associated with higher life satisfaction—a key indicator of subjective well-being. The finding that self-acceptance plays a more significant role in shaping SWB can serve as a basis for stakeholders to formulate policies aimed at strengthening the factors that foster SWB in urban communities. It is anticipated that if residents of dense, low-income settlements experience higher levels of happiness and life satisfaction, they will be more likely to engage in pro-environmental behaviors and participate enthusiastically in local collective programs.]]>
