“…A pre-testing of 10 questionnaires was also done to streamline it. The 5-point Likert scale based questions were arranged for finding the residents perceptions about livability attributes from 1 = not at all satisfied, to 5 = extremely satisfied (Pandey et al 2014a); Mahmoudi et al 2015;Pampanga et al 2015). These attributes were categorized under cultural, environmental, social, infrastructure and economic dimensions.…”

Livability is an important and crucial aspect of urbanity which depicts quality of life. The emerging cities have a variety of urban challenges, including poor quality of life that has focused urban planners towards livability measures. Pakistani cities are facing similar challenges, like provision of adequate infrastructural facilities and amenities, due to which cities are losing their livability standards. Hyderabad, the second biggest city of Sindh Province, is an emerging metropolitan facing the same dilemma. The objective of this paper is to measure the livability as perceived by the residents. Six urban settlements were selected through stratified sampling to represent three income groups present in the study area, i.e. upper, middle and lower. Through systematic sampling, a sample size of 290 was procured for the household-based questionnaire survey, and descriptive statistics and multiple regression techniques were used. Results showed a significant relationship between perceived livability and livability attributes. The environmental attribute was found most significant in affecting livability perception of residents. The study also highlights eight livability variables which need to be considered for improving the quality of life in future urban development projects, not just in Pakistan, but also other developing countries.

ObjectivesLiveability is a multi-dimensional and hierarchical concept which consists of various criteria and sub-criteria and may be evaluated in different ways. The aim of this study was to systematically review indicators and methods used for the evaluation of urban liveability in literature.ContentThe five-stage methodological framework of Arksey and O’Malley was used to conduct this scoping review. A systematic search of electronic databases, including Scopus, Medline (via PubMed), Embase, Web of Science and EBSCO was done until May 29, 2019. Web searching, searching reference lists and hand searching was also conducted to retrieve more relevant articles. Two reviewers screened the papers for eligibility based on the inclusion criteria and extracted their key data and reported them descriptively.SummarySixty seven (67) out of 3,599 papers met the selection criteria. This review showed five distinct domains considered to be important components of liveability. These were Economical, Environmental, Institutional, Social, and Governance (Political) domains. The most important subdomains (indices) which were frequently applied in various studies were Environmental friendliness and Sustainability, Socio-Cultural Conditions and Economic Vibrancy and Competitiveness. We also identified seven different methodologies and six ranking tools used for assessing urban liveability. Among the quantitative methods, three methods accounted for 89.6% of the articles. These methods were the Analytical hierarchy process and entropy (AHP; n=24; 50%), Factor analysis & Principle Component Analysis (FA & PCA; n=12; 25%) and Spatial Multi-criteria Decision-making Method (Spatial; n=7; 14.6%). Among the ranking tools used, three ranking tools accounted for 65.4% of the articles. These tools were the Livable City Scientific Evaluation Standards (LCSES; n=9; 34.6%), The Global Liveable Cities Index (GLCI; n=4; 15.4%) and the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU; n=4; 15.4%).OutlookThis paper discusses and summarizes the latest indicators and methods used for determining urban liveability. The information offered in the review can help future investigators to decide which method suits their purpose and situation better and measure urban liveability more systematically than before.
