“…In studies that seek to evaluate intra-urban quality of life, the number of components varies with the different authors (see, in particular, Aureli and Baldazzi 1998;Baldazzi et al 1998;Cicerchia 1996;Findlay et al 1988;Kuz 1978;OCDE 1978;Pacione 1982aPacione , 1986Sénécal et al 2005;Stimson et al 2000;Ü lengin et al 2002;Wish 1986). A number of researchers have identified a series of indicators and have grouped them into dimensions (see Smith 1973;Kuz 1978;Russ-Eft 1979;Wasserman and Chua 1980;Cook 1988;Omuta 1988;Bonnes, Bonaiuto and Ercolani 1991;Olfert 2003;Sun 2005).…”

“…Several studies on quality of life have emphasized the importance of this dimension (Cicerchia 1996;Sirgy and Cornwell 2002). From the perspective of policy making, studies have shown that very good access to public services and facilities in disadvantaged neighbourhoods may play a compensatory role (in regard to a low level of individual resources) and could thus be a means of combatting poverty (Buck 2001;Ellen and Turner 1997;Small and Newman 2001;Séguin and Divay 2004;Talen 1998).…”

“…The quality of life construct considers three questions from previous studies (Cicerchia, 1996;Cummins, 1996;Sirgy, 2001) that depicted the specific living conditions in Aruba. The chosen questions cover job security, facilities in the community, and leisure time.…”
“…In general, data show that transients are becoming part of new enlarged and adaptable communities also based on an increasing number of in and out population flows. According to the Optimal Urban Size Theory (Cicerchia 1996(Cicerchia , 1999, the quality of life of a city increases with the size of the city itself. The concentration of populations means more services, more work opportunities and cultural events, but after a threshold the social, economic and environmental costs become greater than the benefits.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
