The estimation of the level of development of a territory is an issue that has had different approaches and methodologies. If the first attempts were associated with determining the income generated and retained by the territory, the most recent indicators of quality of life or well-being are based on a multidimensional concept, improved by adding other dimensions including several variables. On the other hand, despite the statistical difficulties, analysis of smaller geographic units is closer to reality, allowing researchers to draw relevant and effective final considerations. Focusing on the case of Portugal mainland, an old country with strong and persistent development asymmetries, this work sought to examine the similarities and differences in various dimensions of the concept of quality of life, in the positioning of the chosen territorial units, the municipalities. Then, after collecting recent annual variables at the municipality level, data were processed using multivariate analysis. The construction of clusters revealed affinities between the municipalities. The results obtained show the asymmetries of development and well-being in the national territory, and their disaggregation, both in terms of the multiple dimensions under analysis and in terms of the municipalities. The study offers a greater and deeper understanding of the regional reality and consequently can favour the efficiency of cohesion policies.

The concept of Quality of Life (QoL) is multi-dimensional and has been explored from varied perspectives. Though QoL is a multi-dimensional concept, research on QoL has been mostly explored from a limited set of aspects. The assessment of QoL of elderly have been so far mostly based on measurement models derived from the perspective of American or European elderly. The subjectivity of the concept of QoL and the distinct dissimilarities in the perspectives of the elderly living in South Asian countries seeks for the development of QoL models from their perspective. Besides, since a signi cant number of the elderly in South Asian countries prefer to age-in-place, the need to identify parameters to improve their QoL in their neighbourhood context also becomes important. This paper, explores the perspectives of a group of Indian elderly, and identi es a broad set of domains and their respective set of factors, in uencing perceived QoL of Indian elderly, which can be supported through the residential environment. The factors have been identi ed through literature review, followed by qualitative analysis of focus group discussions and quantitative analysis of close-ended interviews with Indian elderly across varied socio-demographic backgrounds. The present study, identi es seven broad domains and 37 QoL factors in uencing perceived QoL of Indian elderly.
