Abstract
|
How can we qualitatively determine social and physical indicators that have the potential to predict general well-being in Tehran, Iran? This article implements qualitative methodologies including content analysis and interviews to identify these features. The article studies the existing literature, projects and research on urban well-being and determines its social-physical components. Based on interviews with seventeen experts of urban life quality in Iran and a cross-impact matrix and cross-section analysis formed from this data, three key factors for improving general welfare in Tehran are identified: better urban land use planning, improving access and transportation networks, and creating variety and attractive leisure opportunities.
