Abstract: (1513 Views)
Introduction: Today, quality of life as a powerful tool for monitoring community development for planners, and it also expresses the general social, economic, and environmental characteristics in the regions. Due to the special position of quality of life in sustainable development and social and economic development planning, non-governmental organizations and the government at the national and local levels are working on measuring and indexing it.
Method: The purpose of this study is to spatially measure the combined quality of life index in different provinces of Iran. This research was conducted using the statistical data of 2016. Economic, infrastructural, educational, social, and health components are included in this research, analytical-descriptive method and hierarchical-TOPSIS method were also used.
Results: The results show that Tehran province with a weight of 0.351 is in the first place and Bushehr, Isfahan, and Fars provinces with the weights of 0.097, 0.096 and 0.087 are in the second to fourth place in terms of quality of life, respectively. Kurdistan, North Khorasan, Sistan and Baluchestan and South Khorasan are in the last ranks in terms of quality of life respectively with weights of 0.0365, 0.0319, 0.0304 and 0.0269.
Discussion: Given that the quality of life in the provinces and cities is of particular importance, so far there are no specific factors to measure the quality of life. Therefore, addressing the various components for measuring it can provide appropriate ways to achieve a comprehensive system for measuring the quality of life.
