Evaluation and Prioritization of Indicators That Improve the Quality of Life in Residential Neighborhoods

 Providing the conditions of residential neighborhoods to enhance residents' quality of life has always been an issue of great for urban experts and policymakers of various fields. According to the extensive research in this field, addressing quality of life indicates its importance in residential neighborhoods. The present manuscript evaluates and prioritizes the indicators that improve the quality of life based on the review and analysis of experts (in architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, and planning). The s trategy of this s tudy is the correlation with a descriptive-analytical approach to evaluate and prioritize the indicators of quality of life, four of which have been identified for review by experts, namely Ins titutional; Economic; Social and Environmental satisfaction. A total of ۲۲ experts answered the ques tions, and the findings were analyzed using the DANP technique. The findings indicate that the components of "ins titutional satisfaction" and "social satisfaction" have the mos t significant impact on enhancing residents' quality of life, respectively, from the perspective of experts. In addition, based on the weight of the obtained components, "policy-making and decision-making of organizations and ins titutions" in the neighborhood and "access to health facilities and services" were ranked as the firs t and las t practical components, respectively. Therefore, s trategies can be developed based on the prioritization of experts, such as s trengthening social and infras tructural services and facilities (ins titutional); Residents' decision-making and participation in neighborhood management (social); provision of participatory housing (economic), and development of open and green space (environmental).
