Systematic Mapping of Quality of Life Indicators

Abstract

The Amazon has been jointly glimpsed as a space where a wide range of differences emerge, both within and outside the region. Establishing ways to measure these diversities through the prism of the quality of life and well-being of their populations is an urgent initiative to be satisfied. Thus, this article presents the application of the PICOC methodology for mapping the indicators from the actions that represent the quality of life and welfare of the population of the Brazilian Amazon. A systematic mapping was carried out in five scientific databases in order to map works published in the period from 2017 to 2021. As results, 31 indices related to quality of life and well-being were found arranged in the dimensions of environment, health, education, governance, social programs, and income. The dimensions of environment, health, education, governance, and social programs and income are the main recurrences. The findings allowed as contributions: (i) quantify and qualify the works, listing their sources, year of publication, area of application and repository of origin; (ii) identify the most recurrent dimensions of the indicators found; (iii) relate the indexes to the quantities of dimensions that compose them.
