| Summary: | Quality-of-life (QOL) is a multifaceted concept and it has attracted the attention of researchers
from a wide range of academic disciplines as well as interest among policy makers, planners and
others in the environmental design fields. Being a rich concept, QOL studies can be construed in
different perspectives like health approach, needs approach, happiness versus life satisfaction and
the resource management approach. Although QOL research in Malaysia started in 1987, progress
is slow. This paper provides an overview of the present trends of QOL research by highlighting the
disciplinary and spatial bias and finally, suggests future directions of QOL research in Malaysia. |
