“…In fact, the relationship between QOL and sustainable development has continued to constitute an important topic among scholars (e.g., Boersema 1995;Mackay and Probert 1995;Levett 1998;Porio 2015;Gazzola and Querci 2017). We noted that within the references reviewed, some authors either mentioned or related their QOL assessments to the concept of sustainable development (Doi et al 2008;Carse 2011;Atanasova and Karashtranova 2016;Yu et al 2016). However, given that the sustainable development (or sustainability) concept was not captured in the analysis (Fig.…”

Quality of life (QOL), although a complex and amorphous concept, is a term that warrants attention, especially in discussions on issues that touch on the impacts of climate change and variability. Based on the principles of RepOrting standards for Systematic Evidence Synthesis, we present a systematic review aimed at gaining insights into the conceptualization and methodological construct of previous studies regarding QOL and QOL-related indexes. We find that (i) QOL assessments vary in terms of conceptual foundations, dimensions, indicators, and units of analysis, (ii) social indicators are consistently used across assessments, (iii) most assessments consider indicators that pertain to the livability of the environment, and (iv) QOL can be based on objective indicators and/or subjective well-being, and on a composite index or unaggregated dimensions and indicators. However, we also find that QOL assessments remain poorly connected with climate-related issues, an important research gap. Our proposed "QOL-Climate" assessment framework, designed to capture the social-ecological impacts of climate change and variability, can potentially help fill this gap.

“…The evaluation targets include various services provided by the community, such as: garbage disposal and removal, childcare, elderly care, convenient transportation, fire prevention, air quality improvement, and environmental maintenance. Personal subjective feelings will be affected by objective factors of individuals and communities [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

This article obtains data through questionnaire survey, and then uses the Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC) Model to establish the Taoyuan City’s quality of life quantifying framework in a city-level community context. Statistical test results show that the reliability of overall model is high and is suitable for policy analysis. There are thirteen variables in the structural model that significantly affect the quality of life as well as eleven indicators in the measurement model that can significantly measure the quality of life. Then, half of the observations are substituted back to calculate the quality of life. Via ArcGis operation, it finds that the quality of life of Longtan District is the best as well as Dayuan District is the worst one. LISA cluster of quality of life illustrates hot spots areas are distributed in Longtan, Daxi, and Pingzhen Districts.
