Community Well-Being or Quality of Place? A Few Notes and Their Application in Czech Republic
Original language description
Community well-being is an umbrella term for different ways of describing community development. The combination of words community and well-being is a result of the application of the psychological term well-being to territorial planning, or generally, to a geographical context. This paper includes an analysis of the concept of well-being in its original psychological context, and an assessment of the suitability of its application in the form of community well-being. Quality of life, in our understanding, is based on the examination of a good life. In psychology and other sciences oriented towards the subjective dimension of quality of life, the attention is focused on `how` a person lives his/her life; on the other hand, in geography and other sciences oriented towards the objective dimension of quality of life, the attention is focused on `where` a person lives his/her life, i.e. the `place`. The key element of the geography of quality of life is the phenomenon of a `good place` as a place, where a good life is lived. The described approach provides a framework for the analysis of different-size groups of municipalities and small towns, using self-reported evaluations of the quality of life of their inhabitants.
