Kwaliteit van de leefomgeving en leefbaarheid; Naar eenbegrippenkader en conceptuele inkadering
2004
The National Institute of Public Health and the Environment in the
Netherlands (RIVM) and RIGO Research and Consultancy BV (Amsterdam)
performed a major literature review to identify various concepts in the
literature concerning environmental quality, the relationships between
these various concepts, as well as their respective theoretical bases.
This report summarises the outcomes of this survey. First the history of
concepts related to environmental quality is sketched from different
perspectives such as city-planning, architecture, sociology, economics,
well-being and health over the past 150 years. The development of these
concepts is placed in a broader framework of societal development. It
reviews the main (types of) concepts of livability, environmental
quality, quality of life and sustainability, and presents examples of
underlying conceptual models. Different notions and concepts are
compared along the dimensions of domain, indicator, scale, time-frame and
context as described by Pacione. It is concluded that a
multidisciplinary conceptual framework of environmental quality and
quality of life that will go beyond the disciplinary differences found in
the current literature is needed if the field is to advance. In order to
support the policy-making needs and goals of the Dutch Ministerial
projects NMP4 and MILO some directions for future research are
identified.
