“…The quality of place refers to the characteristics of a place of different geographical scales that affect the quality of life of the inhabitants and the quality of experience of current and future visitors ( Burton, 2014 ). The quality of place, thus, has two dimensions for fulfilling the expectations and needs of local residents and visiting tourists.…”

Most studies on tourism destination competitiveness examined the direct relationships of destination attributes and destination competitiveness. Few studies explored the intervening mechanisms between destination attributes and competitiveness. This study selected cities above the “alpha” level in the Globalization and World Cities Research Network rankings as samples to examine the relationship between local demand and urban tourism competitiveness mediated by the quality of place. Results showed that the relationship between urban wealth and tourist arrivals was completely mediated by the quality of place, while the mediating effect was not significant in the relationship between urban wealth and per capita tourism spending, though per capita tourism spending was directly and positively associated with urban wealth. In other words, richer cities had a higher quality of place, and a higher quality of place attracted more tourists but did not increase tourism per capita spending. Furthermore, the study found that there were two opposite influence paths of city size on urban tourism competitiveness. Although urban tourism competitiveness was directly and positively affected by population, the population had a significant negative effect on urban tourism competitiveness mediated by the quality of place. Through the quality of place, we can be aware of the indirect negative effect suppressed by the direct positive effect. This study revealed that the quality of place helped to better understand the competitiveness of urban tourism.

“…Another hypothesis of livability theory brings into question the responsibility of societies to meet human needs and points out the differences between societies if these requirements are not fulfilled [9]. Livability can be measured by taking into consideration the standard or level of living [11]. Good living conditions refer to the livability of the environment [12].…”

(1) Background: Adequate housing conditions and access to basic house amenities are fundamental human rights and indicators of individual wellbeing. The paper aims to present children’s perception regarding housing conditions and household goods and their impact on children’s overall satisfaction with their house. (2) Methods: We aim to determine the contribution of housing conditions and household goods on children’s satisfaction with their home in 31 countries worldwide. To capture differences in children’s satisfaction with their house based on their housing conditions, we analyzed models conducted on data from 10 lower- and upper-middle-income and 20 high-income countries. We used secondary analysis on data from the third wave of Children’s Worlds: International Survey of Children’s Well-Being (ISCWeb) (87,000 children, aged 10–12, worldwide). (3) Results: The results show that there is a link between the material conditions of the family and children’s satisfaction with the house they live in, and also that having a place to study and access to internet are the main factors related to housing that explain children’s satisfaction. (4) Conclusions: Children mostly appreciate the way housing setting and household goods contribute and ensure their proper development through the creation of a stimulating home learning environment. Results are helpful in setting future standards to increase children’s wellbeing and quality of life, and ensure adequate housing as one of the pillars of sustainable development.

“…The quality of place can be described as emotional and cognitive assessment of external, material and immaterial conditions for human life. Usually, the term 'quality of place' is used in different contexts, such as creative class (Florida, 2002), urban development (Trip, 2007;Burton, 2014), economic development (Reily, Renski, 2008), and quality of life (Pacione, 2003;Azevedo et al, 2013). Murgaš and Klobučník (2016) propose the term of quality of place for the objective dimension of quality of life, as psychologist use for the subjective dimension the term of well-being.…”

“…'Place in general is a central concept of human geography' (Henderson, 2009, p. 539). For this reason, the term quality of place is used for the objective dimension focusing on space (Trip, 2007;Burton, 2014;Murgaš, Klobučník, 2016). Various rankings testify 1 that states, regions or settlements can be regarded as good places; then we talk about the settlement quality of life.…”

The conceptualization of quality of life in terms of geography is based on two assumptions. The first assumption is that the quality of life consists of two dimensions: subjective and objective. The subjective is known as ‘well-being’, while the objective is the proposed term ‘quality of place’. The second assumption is based on the recognition that quality of life is always a spatial dimension. The concept of quality of life is closely linked with the concept of a good life; geographers enriched this concept by using the term ‘good place’ as a place in which the conditions are created for a good life. The quality of life for individuals in terms of a good place overlaps with the quality of life in society, namely the societal quality of life. The geographical conceptualisation of quality of life is applied to settlements within the city of Liberec.
