2.1 WHAT MEANS BY ‘QUALITY OF LIFE’?


Quality Of Life (QOL) means the level of well-being and safety felt by an individual or group of people like public and community. QOL consists of two components, physical and psychological. The physical aspect includes things such as health, diet, and protection against pain and disease. The psychological aspect includes and internal feeling of an individual like stress, worry, pleasure and other positive or negative emotional states.

QOL of an individual or group cannot be measured directly because there are no tangible measuring tool to examine the degree of QOL like mathematics formula.

A city can be said as accepts its ‘quality of life’ when it respects and safe to the people who live in it, when it respects the environment, and when it prepares for future generations, people have to share responsibility for that mandate, and this shared cause is the only way to achieve that QOL dream.
Detail planning of urban development need to be done first before any real development done because the condition of urban area and it's environment is very important in determining the Quality Of Life of community there.
