Introduction
For many years, scholars in both the social sciences and the environmental design professions have been arguing that “quality” of any entity has a subjective dimension that is perceptual as well as having an objective reality. Central to that assertion is the notion that the environment may be defined as having built, natural, and sociocultural dimensions. and different environmental settings will have specific characteristics with respect to those dimensions. But the places in which people live consist of all three of those dimensions, and research findings have clearly demonstrated that all three form important components of the QOL or subjective well-being of people living in a specific place. Many QOL studies have tended to examine attributes of individuals, such as their employment, age, health, and interpersonal relationships. However, people live their lives in places or series of places, each of which has particular environmental characteristics. Defining the indexes of life quality, Vienna, Zurich, and Oakland were reported as the best places to live in the world in 2012 and Singapore, Tokyo, and Kobe in Japan as the best cities in Asia and Dubai in the Middle East. The most important goal of urban planning and development is to improve the quality of life and bring happiness to citizens; but the quality of life is a multidimensional concept which deals with different factors. One of the most important goals of urban planning is to analyze the factors of inequality and attempt to improve the quality of life and create equal conditions for all the citizens. By defining objective and subjective indexes. Today every citys “first world” has a Third World city in their hearts that has struggled with various problems. Due to this reason many scientists and authorities have focused on the concept of quality of life and fallowed by promoting effort to improve living condition and qualitative of human life. All people and all places are concerned with quality of life (QOL). Therefore it is not surprising that the topic has attracted the attention of researchers from many disciplines since the 1960s. While the topic has been studied with regularity for nearly a half century by researchers in psychology, sociology, geography, planning, and other disciplines, the past decade has seen an acceleration of scholarly interest in QOL including a stream of studies investigating individual well-being and happiness. As most of the world’s population now lives in urban areas, and with disparate populations in advanced nations being highly concentrated in large cities, it is inevitable that many QOL studies have focused measuring and modeling aspects of life in urban areas or the quality of urban life (QOUL).Hamedan same as most cities is in the path of urbanization. Especially the majority of the province population is settling in the center of province. As a result the phenomenon of marginalization is expanding. In this regard vision and imagination of the residents to her life quality is an effective way for identify issues and planning to solve the problems of these areas.Because it prevents the same prescription for the different settlement and bottom-up planning will be occur.Hesar emam neighborhood of Hamedan as one of the most problematic area was chosen as the case study.
Methodology
We know that different people may have different perceptions and therefore make different subjective judgments about the things which impinge on their QOL including specific attributes of their urban environment. To adequately investigate those aspects of QOL, we need to use model frameworks and collect data to operationalize those frameworks within a particular context. This research is practical and development from purpose point and from doing way is descriptive analusis and based on the literature study and a questionnaire.Questionnaire was designed in 5 likert scale. The study sample size was determined based on a formula derived of Cochran. The approach was taken in this study to assess quality of life is subjective approach. Study is based on 11 indicators that is derived of research experiences and studied in the 59 index.Research achievement: The subjective approach which is specifically designed to collect primary data at the disaggregate or individual level using social survey methods where the focus is on the peoples’ behaviors and assessments, or evaluations of aspects of QOL in general and of QOUL in particular.In this section we presented descriptive results obtained from the questionnaire by using descriptive statistic methods. Then by using inferential statistics we analyzed and test hypotheses and about relationship between variables. Understanding the mean and the mean value calculated for the population under study and understand the value obtained for the perceived quality of life in our community, a significant amount has been calculated. Alpha is 0.05 times the area of 0.000 indicates that there is a lower quality of life. To identify the most important predictors of quality of life in informal settlements Hesar through multiple regression analysis. The results of multiple regression analysis shows that entertainment is the most pressing needs of the community from resident viewpoint.
Conclusions
In urban and human geography, the most important role has been given to the social justice and social welfare and human geography gained its place as a scientific field only in purpose of improving human life environment and providing social welfare to him. The purpose of improving life quality in urban area is to provide the services and facilities equally. Life Quality opens a way for local officials and the people to interact with each other so to have a better understanding of the key issues affecting people’s life. In today’s cities, the important factor which makes separations between the areas of a town is economy.The results of multiple regression analysis and path analays shows that entertainment is the most pressing needs of the community from resident viewpoint. Further priorities are the security and safety condition, health condition, health care protection, housing, employment, economic conditions, educational status and transportation.
