An Assessment About the Quality of Life: Case Study of Asansol
The ways in which the built environmentBuilt environment can impact the quality of life (QoL) tend to vary spatio-temporally. The entire debate revolving around the ability or inability of material assetsAssets and physical infrastructure to improve QoL has been gaining ground. A thorough review of the literature reveals that not only assets but the availability of select resourcesResource are equally important to improve QoL. However, such an assessment is lacking in the context of Asansol, the second largest urbanUrban agglomeration of West Bengal. This paper aims to analyse this theme in the context of Asansol Municipal Corporation by incorporating a ward-wise analysis based on material wellbeingWellbeing and the availability of select resourcesResource such as green spaces and blue spaces. The data presented has been obtained from secondary sources such as census records and LandsatLandsat imageries. A set of 23 indicators have been used following which various statistical analyses such as the calculation of HousingHousingIndex, SanitationSanitation and Basic Amenities Index, Asset Index, Material Wellbeing Index, Correlation and principal component analysis have been carried out alongside NDBINormalized differential built-up index (NDBI), NDVINormalized differential vegetation index (NDVI), ARVI, MNDWI. It can be observed that a disparity exists within the wards and in general the QoL of the entire region is not very high. The results of this chapter might help the planners and policymakers devise or implement strategiesStrategy that aim to resolve micro-level disparities and could help the residents lead a better QoL.
