Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
This study intends to elaborate on the urban population’s capability to achieve a good quality of life (QoL) in an urban environment that is frequently changing and increasingly becoming complex. In order to achieve this objective, a literature reviews was initiated for examining the debate on several theories related to assessing the QoL such as the Homeostatic Assessment, Urbanism and Social Judgement Theory. This study had discussed the need for combining the capability and urban ecosystem approaches to determine the actual ability of the UV population to achieve an appreciable QoL through self and social readiness as well as environmental adaptation. The three indicators play a very important role in exposing the lifestyle experienced by the urban village (UV) population so that it remains that way in the urban development context, which is becoming more complex and ever changing.
