The function of infrastructure is reflected not only in economic growth and other hard indexes, but also in subjective assessment such as happiness of user experience and so on. Based on happiness index, this paper constructs the analysis model to measure the degree of happiness experience of sewage treatment facilities in villages and towns, and empirically analyzes the experience value of the facilities taking Beijing surrounding villages and towns as a sample. It is considered that the experience value of happiness includes two subjects, villagers and users, and different subjects have different sources of happiness; Different treatment models, village committees’ cognition and service, daily management of facilities and objective condition of villages and towns can significantly impact the happiness of sewage treatment facilities in villages and towns, different operating models impact the happiness in a different manner, and PPP model can remarkably improve the happiness of sewage treatment facilities compared with BOT model. 1. Research Background and Significance In recent years, the construction of villages and towns has received attention from various parties. Sewage treatment facilities are an important component in the infrastructure of villages and towns, and whether it is constructed and operated well directly relates to the production and life quality of residents in villages and towns. For Beijing with rapid development of constructing sewage treatment facilities, although there are multiple sewage treatment stations whose operating condition is great overall, how to assess the social value of these sewage treatment facilities in villages and towns remains a significant issue. Meanwhile, different from existing studies which simply express subjective value as the subjective feelings of beneficiaries, this paper holds that the experiencers of infrastructure subjective value include not only direct beneficiaries, but also tourists, investigator and other users. Because other user groups are less impacted by life experience, historical factors, and emotional factors of towns and villages, and they are able to make a horizontal comparison among towns and villages, their assessments apparently can make up for the deficiency that villagers only can conduct longitudinal assessments. 2. Literature Review Most generally accepted concept of happiness that the analysis of infrastructure subjective value is based on happiness index is “the emotional state human individuals evoke when they realize that their needs are satisfied and their ideals are achieved, and is a complex and multi-layered psychological state formed by the interaction between psychological factors such as needs (including motive, desire and interest), cognition and emotion and external inducement” (Li Yan and Zhao Jun, 2004). Since this concept appeared in the 1950s, it has transformed from the level of psychology and philosophy to that of empirical analysis like index construction, along with people’s increasing attention on life quality and development of health psychology and positive psychology. Currently, the most frequently used measurement methods are the Life Satisfaction 2018 4th International Conference on Education, Management and Information Technology (ICEMIT 2018) Copyright © (2018) Francis Academic Press, UK 1442 Index (LSI) proposed by Neugarten and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) by Diener (1985). According to current studies, measurement methods for the happiness of rural sewage treatment can be divided into two levels: First, results are classified into five categories by directly inquiring whether users are happy. When this method is applied, most studies choose second-hand data from Chinese General Social Survey and Chinese Family Panel Studies as data source. Using data in 2010 China’s Interprovincial Green Development Index and Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS), Li Shunyi (2017) conducted an empirical analysis, finding that green development is conducive to promote happiness from state and urban and rural level, however, its influence on rural residents’ happiness is not significant. Utilizing 2010 baseline data of Chinese Family Panel Studies, Wang Bing and Yang Bao (2018) investigated the influence of villages’ expenditure scale and structure on peasants’ happiness, and discovered that the expenditure scale of villages has remarkable influence on happiness. Villagers’ happiness experience improves with the increased expenditure ratio of villages’ public service and infrastructure; while the influence of administrative expenditure ratio of villages on villagers’ happiness is not remarkable. Second, by introducing second grade index of happiness experience, the measurement index of infrastructure subjective value is constructed. Such measurement method mostly adopts field research for data acquisition and empirical examination. Using micro investigation data, Guo Lei and Xiao Youzhi (2016) measured the influence of governmental regulation reform on residents’ happiness, associated water affairs regulation reform with water price and popularizing rate, and divided residents’ happiness index into three parts with different weights. They found that governmental water affairs regulation reform exerts positive influence on the improvement of residents’ happiness. 3. Model Method and Index Design
