Currently, the assessment of the quality of life is the one of the criteria for an overall assessment of the health of children. The article presents an analysis of the results of research on the effect of school performance on indices of the quality of life of adolescents. With the help of a questionnaire the PedsQL was calculated for each child physical, emotional, social spheres, as well as school performance and overall score. The study involved 2630 children of school age from 13 to 18 years: 1339 girls and 1291 boys. The survey was conducted by interviewing teenagers in the city of Izhevsk and 24 regional centers of the Republic of Udmurtia. As a result it was found that the better a child learns, he has the more quality of life. The older students show worst indices of the quality of life. Groups of teenagers “Excellent”, “good” and “satisfactory” have no discernible performance in all aspects, except for “the functioning of the school”. The main aspect of quality of life is the functioning of the school. The functioning of the school, as an index of the quality of life, has a ladder type: the better the academic performance of a teenager, the significantly higher is the aspect of “functioning of the school”. When comparing the gender indices of the quality of life, depending on the overall trend of progress is maintained: a good performance is a decent quality of life quality indices. It is the best to socialized in society boys in school “good” and “satisfactory”. It is necessary to take into account the results obtained in the development of educational and rehabilitation programs among adolescents

Currently, the assessment of the quality of life is one of the most important criteria, describing integral characteristics of the children’s health. The article presents an analysis of the results of the research of the influence of personality type indices on the quality of life. PedsQL was calculated for each child’s physical, emotional, social spheres, as well as school performance and overall score accordingly to the questionnaire data. The study involved 2292 children aged from 13 to 18 years: 1164 girls and 1128 boys. The survey was executed by interviewing teenagers in the Izhevsk schools and 24 regional centers of the Republic of Udmurtia. To determine the type of the person of teenagers there was used an adaptive technique by K. Ung. As a result, 3 groups were formed. The first group was formed by 960 students with a predominance of personality traits of an introvert, the second group included 1258 extrovert cases. The same group of children (n = 74) was allocated among teenagers having symptoms as well extroverts as introverts (group “intro-extrovert”). As a result of the comparison, the quality of life and the type of the person of teenagers were found to be related to each other. According to the values of the “total score”, “social functioning” and “emotional functioning” the most harmonious quality of life indices were identified in children from the mixed group appeared to be a part of the personality of the best qualities of extroverts and introverts.

Detailed Work

The structure and distribution of quality of life forms a key area of research in human geography, with particular attention given to conditions at the disadvantaged end of the quality-of-life spectrum. To date, most work has focused on the national, regional, or interurban scale. However, whereas descriptive pattern identification and mapping is of value at the macroscale as a pointer to detailed work, policy-relevant quality-of-life indicators are more likely to be derived at the local scale and to be related to specific life concerns. In the present research, a multiscale multiindicator methodology is used to examine the structure and distribution of life quality in Glasgow. In a series of analyses in which objective and subjective indicators are employed at different geographic scales, the city-wide pattern of life quality is identified and a number of severely disadvantaged subareas isolated. Within one such subarea the quality-of-life experience of a particular social group, the elderly, is examined in detail. Application of the methodology in other cities could facilitate intercity and cross-cultural comparisons of quality-of-life variations within contemporary urban areas. Such investigations can also be of practical utility for decisionmakers seeking to define priorities for social policy.

The recent COVID-19 pandemic led to uncertainty and severe health and economic concerns, which may have impacted human-dog relationships. Our objectives were to investigate how people perceived and acted during the COVID-19 pandemic social isolation, in regards to dog adoption and abandonment; and to examine the bidirectional relationships between dog owners’ well-being to that of their dogs. Overall, according to our analysis, the stricter the social isolation became during the pandemic, the interest in dog adoption as well as adoption rate increased significantly, while abandonment did not change. Moreover, there was a clear association between individuals’ impaired quality of life and their perceptions of poorer life quality of their dogs as well as the development of new behavioral problems. These findings suggest potential benefits for human-dog relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic, in compliance with the One Welfare approach.

The blooming of urban expansion has led to the improvement of urban life, but some of the negative externalities have affected the life quality of urban dwellers, both directly and indirectly. As a result of this, research related to the quality of life has gained much attention among multidisciplinary researchers around the world. A number of attempts have been made by previous researchers to identify, assess, quantify, and map quality of life or well-being under various kinds of perspectives. The objectives of this research were to create a life quality index (LQI) and identify the spatial distribution pattern of LQI in Kandy City, Sri Lanka. Multiple factors were decomposed, a hierarchy was constructed by the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method, and 13 factors were selected under two main criteria—environmental and socioeconomic. Pairwise comparison matrices were created, and the weight of each factor was determined by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Finally, gradient analysis was employed to examine the spatial distribution pattern of LQI from the city center to the periphery. The results show that socioeconomic factors affect the quality of life more strongly than environmental factors, and the most significant factor is transportation. The highest life quality zones (26% of the total area) were distributed around the city center, while the lowest zones represented only 9% of the whole area. As shown in the gradient analysis, more than 50% of the land in the first five kilometers from the city center comes under the highest life quality zone. This research will provide guidance for the residents and respective administrative bodies to make Kandy City a livable city. It the constructed model can be applied to any geographical area by conducting necessary data calibration.

The article discusses the modern problems of green building. The duality of the greening problem in large cities is noted: on the one hand, this is one of the factors of conflict, on the other hand, the factor of the quality of life, creativity of the city, and its image level. The selection of factors for the analysis was carried out taking into account the research of Russian and foreign scientists and the possibility of obtaining reliable statistics. The study was conducted according to the landscaping of the districts of St. Petersburg. As a result of the study, clustering of St. Petersburg districts was carried out according to greenery indicators, the level of green construction in each of the considered territories of the city was estimated. A paired analysis of indicators made it possible to identify the most problematic areas of the city, to conduct a comparative assessment of the districts according to the level of greenery and their sufficiency to create a comfortable environment

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la calidad de vida de los hogares ubicados en las ciudades de Chihuahua y Tijuana de acuerdo con el sexo del jefe del hogar, para lo cual se construye un índice. Se presenta un panorama sociodemográfico de tales ciudades tomando como base los resultados del II Conteo de Población y Vivienda 2005; asimismo se formula un análisis de la calidad de vida en los hogares con los datos que ofrece la Encuesta sobre Calidad de Vida, Competitividad y Violencia Social en Hogares de 26 Ciudades Mexicanas, aplicada en diciembre de 2005. Se incluye un indicador de calidad de vida y se aplica la metodología de regresión logística para explicar la diferen­cia entre los niveles de calidad de vida de ambas ciudades y según el sexo del jefe. El modelo de regresión muestra que a la variable sexo corresponde un pequeño incremento en el riesgo de tener una mala calidad de vida para los hogares dirigidos por mujeres en la ciudad de Tijuana, mientras que en la de Chihuahua no se presenta tal incremento, esto es, el sexo del jefe no influye en la calidad de vida de los hogares; son las variables edad, estado civil y educación las que la determinan significativamente en ambas ciudades. AbstractThe objective of this work is to analyze the quality of life of the households in the cities of Chihuahua and Tijuana according to the sex of the head of the household, by means of the construction of an index. A sociodemographic overview of the cities is presented, based on the ii Conteo de Población y Vivienda 2005, as well as an analysis of the quality of life in the households base on the Encuesta sobre Calidad de Vida, Competitividad y Violencia Social en Hogares de 26 Ciudades Mexicanas, applied in December of 2005. An indicator of quality of life is included, and logistic regression is applied to explain the difference in the quality levels of life in both cities and for each sex of head of the household. The regression model shows that variable sex represents a small increase in the risk of having a bad quality of life for the households directed by women in the city of Tijuana, whereas for the city of Chihuahua this increase does not appear, that is, the sex of the head of the household does not influence in the quality of life of the homes; the variables age, marital status and education are those that have a significant deter­mination in both cities.

In the stage of today’s civilization development, remote city districts became accessible easier because of transport and technologies progress and processes of globalization, since new factors started to have an influence on the development of cities. The accessibility of transport means and expansion of city limits give opportunities to improve citizens’ living environment, expand the areas of greenery and water. It is often noted (when assessing the quality of citizens’ life) that natural elements, such as trees and water, make cities more attractive and improve the quality of life. The development of technologies has an effect on people’s consciousness, priorities and assessment of life quality. Changeable conception of a “prestigious dwelling” is reflected in changes of its price. Dwelling prices are one of the main criteria reflecting the level of economic development and the quality of life in cities and regions. The results of recent investigations show that besides the well- known classical ecological characteristics of greenery (protection from dust, air cleaning) it also has a significant social effect. It is proved that green areas have a soothing effect, reduce stress and aggressiveness, improve communication among neighbours and consolidate communities. When considering dwelling prices in cities, it is necessary to regard the fact that urban structure isn’t homogeneous. The city is composed of separate residential districts which usually have some common characteristics: build-up density, the number of working places, distance from the city centre, the size of greenery, etc. An empirical model of correlation-regression was developed when seeking to estimate the influence of different factors on dwelling prices in separate districts, and the method of clusters was used when identifying general groups of city districts. In the case of Vilnius residential districts are divided into three clusters which differ significantly in their dwelling prices and the area of greenery per capita. Conclusions were formulated in accordance with the performed statistical analysis.
