  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Investigating Quality of Urban Life

Part of the book series: Social Indicators Research Series ((SINS,volume 45))

Abstract

The subjective analysis of quality of life (QOL) was first systematized in the 1960s through the use of large-scale sample survey designs in which extensive data were collected on peoples’ evaluations of QOL domains. Domains typically included financial well-being, health, job, family and friends, leisure and place. Place domains were community, neighborhood and housing. More recently, sophisticated model frameworks have emerged in which QOUL is conceptualized as a composite of housing, neighborhood and community satisfaction together with regional satisfaction and their interrelationships. The chapter reviews the evolution of approaches to measuring, analyzing and modeling subjective QOL and QOUL and their theoretical bases, concluding with a reference to recent agent modeling approaches.
