An Intro . . .

Quality of life is the degree of well-being felt by an individual or group of people. It is the one of the most important issues facing the world today and is central to the development. It's also a discussion of some factors relating to the housing environment which influence people's perception of the quality of life. A good planner is persons who are think about what the "places" that they produced will be like to be in - how they will work as places in which to live, work, play and as places to move through.

community/social aspects :- income, job opportunities, agriculture and land use, transportation, public utilities, public schools, churches and religion, medical care and health services, welfare, county government, crime and law enforcement, physical environment and etc. this indicators employed can be used to access the objectives and subjective aspects of quality of life.

For this, I'll focus on Environment Planning which is considering the social aspects of planning. Environment Planning consist of site planning, public participation and activities. These are needed to make the places fit human purposes. this intention is to concentrate on the factors influencing the quality of life at the local place, looking at the question of what makes some sites more satisfactory settings for human life and activity than others.

Two things have to be understood : the nature of site, on the one hand, and how its users will act in it and value it, on the other - (Lynch and Hack, 1984).


"The role of the physical environment in human experience requires a fresh look" - (Kaplans 1982)
