Quality Of Life Variance Across London
Introduction
============
Quality of life is the focal point of this piece of coursework. In
order to investigate the quality of life across London, we carried out
fieldwork in six different areas in London.
Quality of life is the level of satisfaction people have with their
lives in their environment. This is a relative concept. It is the
standard of living' which is the satisfaction people have with their
way of life - a more general term used to describe countries rather
than regions - along with other considerations such as noise and air
pollution.
Models are theoretical framework, which have been created to show
land. They help to explain the reality though may not actually exist.
As the urban area grows, they tend to develop recognisable patterns
and although each settlement has its own unique pattern it is likely
to show similarities with other cities.
Many models have been put forward but there are two models, which are
commonly used. They are two of the earliest and most simplified land
use models, the concentric model - or Burgess Model - and the sector
model - or Hoyt model.

v Burgess model
This was created in 1924 and is based on Chicago. He claimed that
there was a CBD in the centre of all towns and cities and that it went
out in a concentric pattern. He believed that as you went outwards,
the buildings got newer and the occupants became wealthier. Therefore,
the quality of life improved with distance from a city centre.
However, he did make assumptions: -
ü Assumptions
Ø City is built on flat land
Ø Transport system was not significant
Ø Land values were highest in the centre and declined as you go
outwards
Ø Poorer classes lived near the centre and places of work
ü Limitations
Ø Only specific to one place and time
Ø Each zone actually contains more than one land use
Humans are mortal beings, therefore with life comes death; this is a certainty. What is not so certain is the quality of life which one will lead thereto; and the variances they will face in life which will underwrite a person’s health. Health, which can be measured, regulates the quality and longevity of people’s lives. People have long since philosophised that it is “luck of the draw” as to who are inflicted with illness or disease. In fact, through research and consensus reports, analysis

different meanings in the different societies. In today’s multicultural business environment it is instrumental that managers are culturally aware so as to enable productivity and maximum efficiency of their human resource. Culture This is a way of life, customs, beliefs and norms of a given society by which they direct and live their lives. This can be seen in the way they behave, work, and even think given the circumstances before them. Another definition to this
