“…Quality of life (QoL) is a broad concept (Marans 2012) that relates to the general welfare and prosperity of individuals (Abdul Karim 2012;Aklanoğlu & Erdoğan 2012;Hanifah & Hashim 2012;Mohit 2013b). Having realized its importance, many development theorists advocated for a QoL approach to local community development.…”

Due to the lingering problem of poverty, many countries have adopted community-based development strategy towards improving the Quality of Life (QoL) of their citizens. Numerous studies have focused on assessing QoL by measuring the manifested variables and ignored the significant contribution of some "latent" factors. Using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), this paper investigated the factors that influence improvement in the QoL in a Community-based Poverty Reduction Project (CPRP) in Nigeria. The model indicates that the measured variables cause only 36% of the reduction in poverty of the project beneficiaries. The finding implies that there are other "hidden" factors responsible for the improvement in the quality of life.

“…Therefore, there is not a single definition of life quality that is agreed upon. Every discipline reveals different definitions concerning their study areas; accordingly, studies are performed to determine and develop life quality (Aklanog˘lu & Erdog˘an, 2012).…”

“…In recent years, on the other hand, security, peace, health, space quality, ecological features, and open-green areas have come into prominence among the values that increase the life quality in cities. They are constituted as a result of the steady spatial distribution and the relationship between a goodquality living environment, structures on the urban fabric, transportation facilities, and open-green areas (Aklanog˘lu & Erdog˘an, 2012).…”

Quality of Life (QoL) is a multidimensional concept and covers urban life in all its parts. Nowadays the quality of urban life focuses mainly on the urban environment. There is increasing evidence that green areas significantly contribute to quality of life. Social, economic, cultural, ecological, physical, and psychological health benefits are many positive impacts of green areas on quality of life. Especially green areas in the residence immediate environment have an important role in improving the quality of life. For this reason, urban green areas are accepted as one of the basic indicators of urban quality of life. In this paper, residents’ perceptions of quality of life in green areas are examined via data from a survey in Selçuklu District (Konya, Turkey). Using face-to-face interviews, 415 residents were interviewed in Selçuklu District from January to March 2020. Also, this study evaluates the contributions of the urban green areas to the quality of life in Selçuklu District. Analysis of how green spaces enhance the quality of life has been examined from the residence immediate environment perspective. Results show that residents with green areas in the residence immediate environment that are accessible and usable are more satisfied with their residence. From the findings, strategies have been established to potentiate the role of urban green areas in the promotion of the urban quality of life and sustainability for Selçuklu District.

“…However, QoL is a multidisciplinary (Ana-Maria 2015a) and multi-faceted approach (Marans, 2012). It relates to well-being and prosperity of individuals (Abdul Karim, 2012;Aklanoğlu & Erdoğan, 2012;Hanifah & Hashim, 2012;Mohit, 2013), state of feeling safe (Sham, Hussein, & Ismail, 2013) and overall evaluation of life (Ana-Maria 2015b). Other dimensions of QoL include Healthcare (Eusuf, Mohit, Eusuf, & Ibrahim, 2014;Marans, 2012), Needs satisfaction (Keles, 2012;Mohit, 2013) and material wealth (Constantinescu, 2013).…”

Experiences in the application of the community-based model for improving the quality of life of poor communities have reported improvement regarding project performance. However, most studies placed emphasis on the overall performance determined at the general level. For this reason, the findings do not allow for an adequate understanding of the explanatory factors for the success or failure of the projects. This article investigates the explanatory factors that account for the success and failure of a community-based development initiative in kebbi-state, Nigeria, using a case study approach.
