Abstract
This research presents a study of the interactive relationship between society and the urban environment on the one hand, and the concept of quality of life through its main indicators that must be available in the society on the other hand, in addition to analyzing the standards and indicators related to the population and the behavior of individuals in this society, as well as the extent of satisfaction of individuals with the residential area in which they live. This is done through studying some local and international experiences that analyzed the concept of quality of life.
The research concluded that the concept of quality of life has a broad scope, encompassing many different indicators. The main factor underlying the evaluation process is human beings, and that there is a correlation between the concept of quality of life and the policies dealing with informal housing areas, as improving informal housing policies is to improve quality of life. One way is to integrate community participation into urban improvement to help poor people who cannot take care of their housing consumption needs.
This study explores the following topics: (1) quality of life (concepts and opinions); (2) policies dealing with informal housing areas; (3) the results of international experiences in dealing with informal housing areas; (4) proposed quality of life indicators. Finally, the study concludes a set of suggestions to increase the link between approaches to enhance informal housing policies and raising quality of life through indicators that control informal housing policy selection.
