Abstract: | The study explores whether Quality of Life (QOL) corresponds to the spatial pattern of urban system as a result of compact
development policy practice in Bandung city, Indonesia. It examines the connection between QOL and selected attributes of
compact development. A self-reported life satisfaction is used as a proxy for QOL based on a cross-sectional survey data from
400 respondents. The analysis shows that the changes in QOL significantly correspond to the change of different attributes
of compact development. The result suggests that compact development policies in Bandung have not shown a desirable result
in improving QOL of the urban residents. The result also indicates that the implementation of the policy is less beneficial
in the context of developing countries. The study strengthens the existing argument that compact development policies need
to be tailored to suit the context of developing countries, rather than just be taken for granted from the practices in developed
countries. |
