The Role of the Residential Environment in Defining Quality of Life

Abstract

dc:description

Quality of life is a concept that has been the center of debate for many decades. This debate has involved many domains of life and has included the residential environment. The residential environment is important in the analysis of quality of life because of the role it plays in the human experience. It is presumed to be the primary arena in which quality of life is facilitated because it is the center of familial activity, a place where many people realize their dreams, and the grounding point within the larger community in which it is located. This research builds upon previous quality of life and resident satisfaction research.
