Urbanization is a population shift from rural to urban areas, "the gradual increase in the proportion of people living in urban areas", and the ways in which each society adapts to the change. Being a complex socio-economic process closely connected with scientific technological revolution, urbanization exercises a growing influence on all aspects of society, reflecting the nature of economic and regional development. The numbers of metro cities in India are continuously increasing from 12 in the year 1981 to 23 in 1991, 35 in 2001 and 54 in 2011. This shows that urbanization is increasing but mostly in or nearby metro cities of the country. But the capacity of metro to assimilate increasing urban population is not as good as it should be. The sheer magnitude of the urban population, haphazard and unplanned growth of urban areas, and a desperate lack of infrastructure are the main causes of such a situation. The rapid growth of urban population (decadal growth of total population in India is about 17.7 percentage points during 2001-2011 while urban population growth is about 31.8 percentage points)[1] both natural and through migration though there is decline of rural-urban migration[2], has put heavy pressure on public utilities like housing, sanitation, transport, water, electricity, health, education and so on. So the study of metro cities is needed.  This study is about the quality of life in seven metro cities (Kanpur, Lucknow, Ghaziabad, Agra, Meerut, Varanasi and Allahabad) of Uttar Pradesh. For the analysis some index are used in this paper like deprivation index, multi-dimension poverty index and quality of life index. This could give us insight of the sustainability of the metropolitan cities.   [1] Census of India, 2011 [2] Amitabh Kundu, ‘Urbanisation and urban governance – search for a prospective beyond neo-liberalism’, Economic and Political Weekly, Vol. XXXVIII, No. 29, July 19, 2003, pp. 3079-3087.

Abstract Warehouses are a fundamental element for the supply chain and, consequentially, provide resources for people to perform their daily tasks. Their location determines the type of goods movements that will be performed in the city area. Knowing their location is essential to define public policies applied to urban freight transport, city livability and economic development. In the search to make a better diagnosis of its area, the Belo Horizonte City Hall developed the urban quality-of-life index (UQLI) and the local supply index (LSI). This article used linear regression to identify the correlation amongst the UQLI, the LSI and the location of the logistics warehouses in urban areas. The best model obtained from the econometric analysis is the one that correlates warehouses with supermarkets, bookstores and stationery, residential area, quality of the house, bank and gas station. The results obtained were confirmed with spatial analysis. This result allows concluding that the warehouses are influenced by the favourable zoning, low land cost, proximity of regional and main streets of the city and high population and retailer density.

Economic Well Being

The trend of urbanization in Malaysia is increasing and presently sixty-seven percent (67%) of the Malaysia’s population are living in the urban regions. Therefore, the concern over the quality of life of the urban residents becomes more crucial in the Malaysian government’s policy. It can be predicted that the urban population will face greater obstacles in availing the opportunities and coping with the challenges of living in the cities. In this regards, the economic well-being of the urban population is the central aspect affecting their subjective well-being (SWB). Hence, this research aims to explore how the economic well-being affects the subjective well-being (SWB) among the selected respondents who live in the major cities in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. Adopting the Allard's dimensions of welfare, this study explores the subjective meaning of life satisfaction among the administrative personnel of an urban public university, namely Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). Sixteen key informants from four different categories of administrative staff of the University’s main campus in Shah Alam, Selangor were engaged in the researchers’ in-depth interviews. The main findings of this research have shown that the responses were centred on the coping ability adopted by the UiTM administrative staff to survive life in the urban areas.© 2016. The Authors.

The growth of environmental impacts in the cities comes from the increase in population and the constant expansion of urban areas. These conflicts coupled with the lack of infrastructure contribute to the deterioration of environmental quality and life of the urban population and consequently to the physical, chemical and biological changes that compromise ecosystems and alter the landscape in these centers. The theme of this study relates to the perception and satisfaction of urban environmental quality has, as social actors, residents of a sample of the population of five districts in São Gabriel, RS. Through interviews addressed issues such as solid waste, noise, visual, air, soil, deforestation, the presence of sewage, illegal occupation, floods, urban sanitation and municipal environmental policies. The result of the survey showed satisfaction with some environmental aspects, but dissatisfaction with public policy indifferent to the quality of life of citizens.

В представленной работе отражены социально-экономические и демографические аспекты качества жизни городского населения. Анализ рассматриваемого показателя проводился по пяти ключевым сферам качества жизни – демографическая ситуация, здравоохранение, социальное обеспечения, трудовая и образовательная сферы. На основе анализа ряда статистических данных были выявлены наиболее динамичные показатели, отражающие существенные различия между исследуемыми городами Байкальского региона – Иркутском, Улан-Удэ и Читой. Для оценки качества жизни городского населения была разработана авторская методика расчета через одноименный индекс. В статье также представлено краткое описание методики и результаты ее апробации на массиве статистических данных по крупным городам Байкальского региона. The presented work reflects the socio-economic and demographic aspects of the quality of life of the urban population. The analysis of this indicator was carried out in five key areas of quality of life – demographic situation, health, social security, labor and education. Based on the analysis of a number of statistical data, the most dynamic indicators were identified, reflecting significant differences between the studied cities of the Baikal region – Irkutsk, Ulan-Ude and Chita. To assess the quality of life of the urban population, the author's method of calculation was developed using the index of the same name. The article also provides a brief description of the methodology and the results of its testing on an array of statistical data on large cities in the Baikal region.

Abstract Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between quality of life and both perceived and objective availability of local green and blue spaces in people with dementia, including potential variation across rural/urban settings and those with/without opportunities to go outdoors. Methods This study was based on 1540 community-dwelling people with dementia in the Improving the experience of Dementia and Enhancing Active Life (IDEAL) programme. Quality of life was measured by the Quality of Life in Alzheimer’s Disease (QoL-AD) scale. A list of 12 types of green and blue spaces was used to measure perceived availability while objective availability was estimated using geographic information system data. Regression modelling was employed to investigate the associations of quality of life with perceived and objective availability of green and blue spaces, adjusting for individual factors and deprivation level. Interaction terms with rural/urban areas or opportunities to go outdoors were fitted to test whether the associations differed across these subgroups. Results Higher QoL-AD scores were associated with higher perceived availability of local green and blue spaces (0.82; 95% CI 0.06, 1.58) but not objective availability. The positive association between perceived availability and quality of life was stronger for urban (1.50; 95% CI 0.52, 2.48) than rural residents but did not differ between participants with and without opportunities to go outdoors. Conclusions Only perceived availability was related to quality of life in people with dementia. Future research may investigate how people with dementia utilise green and blue spaces and improve dementia-friendliness of these spaces.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Patienten mit gastroösophagealem Reflux (GERD) leiden oft sehr unter der Symptomatik. Im Rahmen unserer Studie galt es deshalb herauszufinden, ob sich die Lebensqualität und die Symptome bei Patienten mit objektiv nachgewiesener GERD von Patienten ohne funktionell bewiesenes Korrelat unterscheidet. Material und Methoden Eingeschlossen wurden alle Patienten mit typischer Refluxsymptomatik, die 2017 an unserer Abteilung für Allgemein-, Viszeral- und Thoraxchirurgie hinsichtlich des Vorliegens einer GERD abgeklärt wurden. Alle Patienten erhielten eine hochauflösende Manometrie, 24-h-Impedanz-pH-Metrie und eine Gastroskopie. Die Lebensqualität wurde mittels Quality of Life Index (GIQLI) und die gastrointestinale Symptomatik mittels einer Symptomcheckliste (SCL) evaluiert. Mittels SCL wurde die Schwere und Intensität von 14 verschiedenen Symptomen eruiert. Basierend auf den Resultaten der 24-h-pH-Impedanzmessung wurden die Patienten in 2 Gruppen eingeteilt – Patienten mit gastroösophagealer Refluxerkrankung und Patienten mit rein funktioneller Symptomatik ohne organisches Korrelat. Diese Gruppen wurden miteinander verglichen. Ergebnisse Ein vollständiger Datensatz war bei 162 Patienten verfügbar, wovon 86 Patienten (52,2%) objektiv an Reflux erkrankt waren (DeMeester-Mittelwert: 37,85; SD ± 29,11) und 76 Patienten (46,1%) einen unauffälligen DeMeester-Score (Mittelwert: 7,01; SD ± 4,09) aufwiesen. Zwischen diesen beiden Gruppen konnte kein signifikanter Unterschied in der Lebensqualität gefunden werden (Mittelwert GIQLI von GERD-Patienten: 94,81; SD ± 22,40; Mittelwert GIQLI von Patienten mit rein funktionellen Symptomen: 95,26; SD ± 20,33; p = 0,988). Außerdem konnte kein signifikanter Unterschied in der Symptomwahrnehmung der Patienten gefunden werden (Mittelwert SCL-Score von Refluxpatienten: 46,97; SD ± 29,23; Mittelwert SCL-Score bei Patienten mit rein funktioneller Symptomatik 48,03; SD ± 29,17; p = 0,827). Schlussfolgerung Patienten mit funktionellen Refluxbeschwerden unterscheiden sich hinsichtlich des Leidensdrucks nicht von Patienten mit objektiv bewiesener Refluxerkrankung. Eine Differenzierung zwischen gastroösophagealer Refluxerkrankung und funktionellen Refluxsymptomen ist nur mittels Funktionsdiagnostik möglich.
