ABSTRACT

Quality of life (QoL) in urban areas is increasingly finding prominence in practice. There are numerous studies interlinking residential built environment and QoL at the city level but very few at the suburban level particularly for neighbourhoods. This research aims to prepare an analytical framework and a mathematical model to evaluate neighbourhood QoL as a function of its varying built environment and spatial attributes. In order to demonstrate this, a study is carried out for seven neighbourhood typologies of New Delhi by collecting data for both objective and subjective dimensions. The database is then analysed using statistical techniques of comparative analysis, correlation and regression analysis. The research indicates that (a) Quality of life within a city varies substantially at the neighbourhood level, and (b) current planning standards provide static city-wide benchmarks which are not attainable by most of the Indian neighbourhoods.

摘要

城市地区的生活质量 (QoL) 在实践中越来越受到重视。有许多研究在城市层面将住宅建筑环境与 QoL 联系起来，但在郊区层面，尤其是社区层面的研究很少。本研究旨在准备一个分析框架和一个数学模型，以评估作为其不同建筑环境和空间属性的函数的邻里 QoL。为了证明这一点，通过收集客观和主观维度的数据，对新德里的七个街区类型进行了研究。然后使用比较分析、相关性和回归分析的统计技术对数据库进行分析。研究表明 (a) 城市内的生活质量在社区层面有很大差异，
