“…The authors of [16], when substantiating the system of indicators of sustainable development of urban systems, concluded that in the general set of indicators, the determining role belongs to those which can characterize the quality of life of the population in urbanized territories. In conducting a generalized analysis of quality of life in large cities [17], it is clearly stated that the indicators characterizing the impact of the state of the living environment and environmental factors of the internal and external environments are equivalent on a par with others -economic and social. Thus, the basic concept of the research is the concept of sustainable development of urban areas within which the factors of the living environment are considered indissolubly with the notion "quality of the population life".…”

“…Most of the existing studies on urban QoL assessment have served as tools for conducting rankings and making guides ( 24 ), and Providing guidance on making development policies. Naturally, their attention is primarily on cities: some deal with the QoL of a single city ( 14 , 18 , 25 ); some compare that of multiple cities ( 16 , 26 , 27 ); some draw comparisons between different areas within a city ( 28–30 ), and still some compare cities within a country ( 31 ). However, in recent years, there has been a growing trend toward researching the QoL assessment of counties as an administrative unit.…”

“…Purely quantitative methods or hybrid methods combining qualitative and quantitative analysis have been used in urban QoL assessments. Those primarily oriented toward personal development mostly employed hybrid methods ( 18 , 33 ), the most common of which is questionnaire survey ( 14 , 19 , 25 , 27 , 30 ). Those focusing on urban development mostly used quantitative methods, in which statistical analysis methods and tools such as importance performance analysis (IPA), information entropy, equalization index, structural equation modeling, and hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis have been widely applied ( 11 , 32 , 34 ).…”

China’s rapid urbanization has greatly boosted the quality of life of its traditionally impoverished regions. Research into the spatial distribution characteristics, evolution and spatial correlation of the quality of life in impoverished regions can help illuminate the experience of successful development and construct a knowledge base for authorities to devise development strategies. This study focuses its attention on the historically impoverished districts and counties (which are designated as parallel administrative units in China) of Guizhou Province in southwestern China. Extensively citing official statistics on districts and counties released by China’s National Bureau of Statistics and local governments, it assesses the quality of life of those places in the 3 years of 2000, 2010, and 2020 from the four dimensions of economy, society, culture, and environment. The aim is to illustrate the distribution characteristics and the evolution of quality of life in Guizhou’s historically impoverished districts and counties. In order to understand the characteristics of spatial clustering as well as the patterns of evolution of the quality of life of Guizhou’s impoverished districts and counties, the study incorporates spatial autocorrelation analysis into a spatio-temporal analysis of local quality of life. It could presumably help enrich the knowledge base that local authorities draw on to formulate development strategies that are scientific and adapted to local conditions. The study found that while the overall quality of life in all the impoverished districts and counties of Guizhou Province has improved, large gaps in quality of life between eastern and western regions of the province persisted. In addition, the driving force behind the evolution in the overall quality of life of those places changed with time, as did the characteristics of the spatial aggregation in quality of life.

Quality of Life (QoL) is widely examined in different disciplines, presenting considerable differences in methodology and results among them. The multitude of factors from various literature on what constitutes quality of life make QoL analysis complex. Using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), this research not only provided an empirical basis for the validity and reliability of the QoL instrument developed, but also reduced the complexity of QoL variables and the relationships among them by determining smaller number of constructs that underlie such relationships. The 47-item questionnaire under validation study used a 6-point Likert scale, and was administered to 613 respondents in Quezon City, Philippines. Inter-item correlations, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy, Bartlett's Test of Sphericity, and communalities provided empirical evidence that supports the factorability of the 47-item scale. The reliability of the scale was established using Cronbach Alpha, and results suggest 7 criteria of urban QoL. The urban QoL instrument developed in this study was proven to be reliable and valid, hence, can be further validated in other countries or used in evaluating quality of life in different urban setting in the Philippines.
