Improving the quality of life of the community as one of the key indicators of development success is a must since it has an impact on the wellbeing of the community. This study aims to measure quality of life and analyze the effect of additional general allocation funds for village infrastructure development, education, and control variables on the quality of life of the community who lived in Tangerang. The researchers employed a sample size of 368 people. Using a cross-sectional survey approach, valid, and reliable questionnaires were distributed. The results of the multiple regression analysis showed that the general allocation funds for the village infrastructure development were proven to have a significant effect on improving the quality of life of the community. The education level variable did not have a significant effect on improving the quality of life, but it had a significant effect on the psychological health domain of quality of life. In addition to the provision and maintenance of health services, it is necessary for the government to include the construction of infiltration wells, community-based domestic wastewater management networks, light fire extinguishers, and portable fire pumps as development priorities.

“…The approach to planning and development of a given area and its surrounding areas should mainly encourage specific elements that will significantly improve the quality of living, maintain valuable and consistent community development, and consequently attract and retain more people to that specific location. 7 Adaptable and resourceful design methods, approaches, and policies used in the creation of livable communities and the rehabilitation of existing neighborhoods eventually result in well-managed and protected communities that are cleaner, safer, greener, more economically sustainable, and more habitable. 8 Place-making, as described in the planning domain, aims to develop community-scale planning with the goal of creating qualitative, habitable environments that conform to sustainability theories and practices.…”

The space layout problem encompasses challenges that rely on a diverse range of contexts regarding urban planning and architectural design, during the traditional design phases which require immense effort and time for the evaluation of the spatial elements’ characteristic needs. In order to eliminate the burden of considering all multidimensional design aspects at the same time, this research presents a three-bodied computational method for locating the spaces of the given architectural design program in a project site, according to the defined list of design objectives and criteria. Besides the determination of the layout according to the requirements of the spatial elements, this research proposes an integration of the space syntax theory’s analytical compounds in terms of Justified Graph Analysis and Integration Values as the fitness criteria for the multi-objective evolutionary optimization in the computational model. To satisfy the integrity levels of each various characterized element within site organization, that are implied inherently by the architectural design program and generate a sustainable space network layout for the project site.

“…These changes have affected the ecosystem, human settlements, environment, public health, and economy. Which has led societies to act as governments or as individuals to provide any kind of solutions, to improve the quality of life (Muhammed & Abubakar, 2019). One of the solutions is the urban catalyst as a sort of improving quality of life.…”

The growth of cities has led to multiple transformations that have changed the urban fabric; for this reason, many locations in urban areas remain neglected. The present study was undertaken to search for solutions that would minimize adverse changes in the urban fabric, buildings, and urban spaces. The aim of the study was to present examples of good architectural design that can be considered catalysts that improve the quality of life in cities. Architectural design contributes to urban development not only at the level of individual buildings, but also at the level of the overall quality of urban life. The research methodology involved developing a theoretical framework for the research topic, and applying selected indicators to analyse several international examples and investigate the strategies deployed in various countries around the world. The study demonstrated that good architectural design must be inspired by a city’s history, and that the urban context should be considered in order to integrate new urban development with the surrounding environment through catalytic mechanisms and their indicators. Sustainability, health, education, safety, psychology, material sourcing, and building materials are the most important quality of life (QoL) factors for developing a good architectural project.
