Quality of Life Indicators (Natural and Living Environment) and Air Pollution Awareness - The Example of Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia

Abstract

The state of the environment has a significant impact on the quality of life. Citizens are becoming more aware of the benefits of a high-quality environment, from basic rights like access to clean water to aspects like creating a noise-free living and working environment with access to nature and green areas.Environmental quality indicators, environmentally responsible behaviour, and consumption of environmental services are used to evaluate quality of life. At the global level, various types of indicators that can be used to measure the quality of the environment that affects citizens' quality of life can be identified. These indicators are linked and provide an objective and precise criterion of the level of pollution and its impact on the quality of life of citizens.Air pollution awareness is a critical component of incorporating environmental indicators and improving citizens' quality of life. Although no relevant data or studies on the link between the citizens' quality of life as measured by environmental indicators in the Republic of North Macedonia over the last two years exist, some research conducted during this period indicates a lack of awareness of the issue of air pollution in the capital Skopje.
