“…For example, McCrea et al (2005) investigated quality of life and the subjective evaluations of it at a different spatial level. He found regional services such as access to health and higher education services gained the highest satisfaction at a regional level while neighborhood satisfaction was found to be associated with social interactions, crime and urban amenities such as K-12 schools, parks and libraries.…”

“…En tal sentido, se ha analizado la forma en que las condiciones físicas, sociales y económicas de la colonia influyen en la satisfacción con ésta, lo que a su vez determina el nivel de satisfacción con la vida (Salleh y Badarulzaman, 2012;Miller et al, 1980); también ha sido importante determinar cómo el grado de satisfacción es un factor que influye en las decisiones de mudarse de los residentes (Clark et al, 2006;Brower, 2003;Droettboom et al, 1971;Kasl y Harburg, 1972;Lee et al, 1994;Nathanson et al, 1976;Newman y Duncan, 1979;Quigley y Weinberg, 1977); en el nivel o calidad de vida (Campbell et al, 1976;Sirgy et al, 2000;McCrea et al, 2005;Sirgy y Cornwell, 2002;Parkes et al, 2002), así como en la educación que reciben los hijos en el hogar (Martinez et al, 2002). Se ha reconocido que los residentes que experimentan mayor satisfacción con su colonia reportan mejor salud mental, perciben menos inseguridad y muestran una menor probabilidad de mudarse (Baba y Austin, 1989;Adams, 1992;Bolan, 1997;Sirgy y Cornwell, 2002;Austin et al, 2002;Oh, 2003).…”

“…McCrea et al [30] examined different geographic levels of subjective urban QOL. Regional satisfaction was best predicted by evaluations of regional services (such as health and education) and the cost of living, while evaluations of environmental and urban growth problems were significant predictors of regional satisfaction for younger persons.…”

“…Objective urban QOL studies typically include many objective characteristics of the urban environment, often combining or weighting objective indicators to generate an objective urban QOL ranking for places [2,3,6,43,48,50] . Studies on subjective urban QOL have found that subjective evaluations of many aspects of the urban environment can contribute to satisfaction in urban domains and overall life satisfaction [30,33,45,46,49] . The urban quality of life is measured by using the subjective indicators and instead of secondary data, the citizens are asked (questionnaires, interview…) directly for the level of their happiness about different aspects of urban life.…”

Problem Statement: Researches of quality of life are concentrated mainly on the urban nature in the recent years and the urban quality of life gained many attentions in empirical studies. The concept of urban quality of life is a multi-dimensional and complex issue. So, needless to say that this concept can be used in planning when there is an appropriate and reliable framework for measuring. Approach: The present study tried to create a framework on the base of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for objective measuring of urban quality of life and then it would be applied for a comparative study of two northern cities of Iran. Results: The results showed that using analytic hierarchy process model creates opportunity to involving the different groups' views of urban users with respect to their duties and functions in the stage of criteria weighting. Conclusion: This process not only provided an appropriate bed for objective measuring of urban quality of life but it facilitated the participation of urban authorities in the process of measuring and analyzing the urban quality. Also one of the advantages of the model was its high level of clarity and simplicity which could be perceived by all urban decision makers. Key words:Objective Urban Quality of Life (UQOL), Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), measuring, comparative study INTRUDUCTIONResearchers from a variety of disciplines have studied Quality Of Life (QOL) since the 1930s [53] . They tried to identify the components of QOL and compared various geographical areas such as cities, states and nations by means of QOL indices that they developed [2,3,25,48,47] . In addition to the researchers, international organizations such as UNDP [51] developed its own measures for QOL. The desire to improve the quality of life in a particular place or for a particular person or group is an important focus of attention for planners [28] . An important reason for such an interest in QOL lies in the question of effective allocation of scarce resources [32] . In fact improvement of life quality in each society is one of the important aims of public policies. In recent years studies of life quality have mainly concentrated on the urban nature and urban quality of life gained much attention among the researchers. Clearly the increase of urban population and the increasing tendency for living in the city is one of the main incentives to expand an independent movement on life quality researches.The urban QOL concept gains more importance when it is considered that the world population is expected to reach somewhere between 7.6-9.4 billion [22] and the urban population is expected to reach 50% [47] in the beginning of the next century. The multi-dimensional character and evolutional nature of quality of life led to different interpretations which made the investigation difficult. So the recent research on the quality of life emphasis on the quality of measuring this concept in the cities. Clark and Kahn [7] used a two-stage hedonic approach to estimate willingness to pay fo...
