O presente artigo tem como objetivo aprofundar o debate acerca da emergência do tema da qualidade de vida vinculado ao meio urbano e de suas possibilidades para o planejamento urbano. De caráter exploratório, através de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, o artigo procura delimitar marcos conceituais sobre a qualidade de vida e sua relação com um novo modelo de planejamento urbano a partir do paradigma do desenvolvimento social e de diretrizes do Estatuto da Cidade (2001), além de discutir formas de operacionalização desse conceito tendo como base algumas experiências de construção de sistemas de indicadores de qualidade de vida urbana no Brasil. Como resultados, evidencia-se que a preocupação com a qualidade de vida tem sido expressão recorrente nos debates sobre o presente e futuro das cidades, ganhando espaço e legitimidade a partir de um esforço de delimitação conceitual e de instrumentos para sua mensuração, destacando a contribuição de indicadores georreferenciados para melhor compreensão de desigualdades intraurbanas em diversas áreas. Acredita-se que a incorporação dessa discussão ao planejamento urbano pode contribuir de maneira significativa para pensar e operacionalizar instrumentos que auxiliem no direcionamento de ações e efetivação de políticas públicas para melhoria das condições de vida da população. Palavras-chave: Planejamento Urbano; Indicadores; Qualidade de vida.   GEOREFERENCED INDICATORS OF URBAN QUALITY OF LIFE: possibilities for urban planning  Abstract  This article aims to deepen the debate on the growth of the quality of life theme linked to the urban environment and its possibilities for the urban planning. With exploratory character, through bibliographical and documentary research, the article seeks to define conceptual frameworks on the quality of life and its relationship with a new urban planning model from the social development paradigm and the “City Statute” guidelines (2001), besides discussing ways of operationalizing this concept, basing on experiences of previously existing systems of urban quality of life indicators in Brazil. As a result, it is clear that the concern for quality of life has been a recurring point in discussions regarding the present and future of cities, gaining ground and legitimacy from efforts of conceptual delimitation and tools for its measurement, highlighting the contribution of georeferenced indicators for a better understanding of intra-urban inequalities in many areas. It is believed that the incorporation of this discussion into urban planning can contribute significantly to think and operationalize instruments that can help to direct actions and execution of public policies to improve the living conditions of the population. Keywords: Urban Planning; Indicators; Quality of life.   INDICADORES GEOREFERENCIADOS DE CALIDAD DE VIDA URBANA: posibilidades de planificación urbana Resumen En este artículo se pretende profundizar el debate sobre el surgimiento del tema de la calidad de vida relacionado con el ambiente urbano y sus posibilidades para la planificación urbana. De carácter exploratorio, a través de la investigación bibliográfica y documental, el artículo busca definir los marcos conceptuales de la calidad de vida y su relación con un nuevo modelo de planificación urbana desde el paradigma del desarrollo social y las directrices del Estatuto de la Ciudad (2001), además de discutir maneras de hacer operativo este concepto basado en algunas experiencias en la construcción de sistemas de indicadores de calidad de vida urbana en Brasil. Como resultado de ello, es evidente que la preocupación por la calidad de vida ha sido una expresión recurrente en los debates sobre el presente y futuro de las ciudades, ganando terreno y legitimidad a través de esfuerzos de delimitación conceptual y herramientas para su medición, destacando la contribución de indicadores georeferenciados para una mejor comprensión de las desigualdades intra-urbanas en muchas áreas. Se cree que la incorporación de esta discusión a la planificación urbana puede contribuir significativamente a pensar y operar instrumentos que ayudan a dirigir las acciones y ejecución de políticas públicas para mejorar las condiciones de vida de la población.

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.

<p>Prace z zakresu rozmieszczenia i ewaluacji zieleni w mieście w kontekście potrzeb mieszkańców mają duże znaczenie w związku z postępującym rozwojem przestrzennym miast i presją na wykorzystanie każdego wolnego kawałka gruntu. Szerzej możemy mówić tu o jakości życia w mieście, biorąc pod uwagę komponent zieleni. Warto również zwrócić uwagę, że analiza przestrzenna jakości życia w mieści jest trudnym i złożonym zagadnieniem, dlatego też rzadko jest przeprowadzana w obrębie miast. Typowe jest natomiast analizowanie jakości życia w odniesieniu do miasta jako całości, co pozwala na analizę porównawczą pomiędzy miastami. Nie daje to jednak możliwości analizy strukturalnej wewnątrz miast.</p><p>Celem pracy było zaproponowanie możliwości wykorzystania zdjęć satelitarnych z satelity Ikonos 2 oraz technik związanych z GIS dla potrzeb analizy terenów zielonych ośrodków miejskich oraz modelowania jakości życia w mieście. W artykule przedstawiono sposób integracji danych pochodzących z rejestracji teledetekcyjnej, dotyczących roślinności, oraz danych dotyczących rozmieszczenia ludności w mieście. Modelowanie kartografi czne doprowadziło do określenia rozmieszczenia przestrzennego wskaźnika jakości życia w mieście w aspekcie zieleni. W związku z tym wyniki mogą być przydatnym narzędziem w monitorowaniu i planowaniu przestrzennym.</p><p>Na podstawie zobrazowania satelitarnego Ikonos 2 wygenerowano rozkład przestrzenny znormalizowanego wskaźnika zieleni (NDVI). Było to podstawą wydzielenia dwóch klas zieleni: zieleni wysokiej (zbiorowisk drzewiastych i krzewiastych) oraz zieleni niskiej (głównie roślinność trawiasta). Aby określić wskaźnik terenów z zielenią przypadających na mieszkańców, niezbędne było wykorzystanie informacji o rozmieszczeniu ludności, którą to opracowano w formie mapy kropkowej. Określenie cząstkowego wskaźnika jakości życia przeprowadzono w polach podstawowych, a następnie zwizualizowano, używając metody izoliniowej. Proponowana metodyka dała w rezultacie przestrzenny obraz zjawiska, który stał się podstawą analizy rozmieszczenia terenów z roślinnością w odniesieniu do miejsca zamieszkania ludności Lublina.</p>

Urban Quality

Urban quality of life (QOL) is a complex and multidimensional concept. A wide range of urban QOL assessment tools has been developed worldwide to measure and monitor the quality of urban life taking into account the particular conditions of cities/regions and the needs of their residents. This study aims to develop an urban QOL assessment tool appropriate for the context of Saudi Arabia (SA). For this purpose, this study developed and used a structured approach that consists of an in-depth analysis of 21 urban QOL assessment tools in use worldwide, combined with focus group analysis and feedback from a panel of experts. The results revealed that there is a lack of consensus among the existing tools regarding the usage of QOL indicators and domains, and that the majority of the tools demonstrate a lack of proper coverage of QOL subdomains. The results also show wide variations in the number of indicators used and that most of the examined tools are using objective measurable indicators. This study has identified 67 indicators distributed across 13 domains that constitute the core criteria of the proposed QOL assessment tool. The selected indicators and domains cover all the attributes of urban QOL and are evaluated by experts as important criteria to assess/measure QOL. Moreover, the results demonstrate the advantage of the developed framework and comprehensive list of criteria (CLC) as a structured and efficient approach to design better QOL assessment tools.
