The purpose of this
article was to identify the factors that influenced the quality of residents’
life in Bach Long Vi island, Vietnam. Survey data were collected from 63
households per total 150 household on Bach Long Vi Island, Vietnam. The
research model was proposed from the studies of Quality of life (QOL). QOL is
proposed as a multi-scale, multi-dimensional concept that contains interacting
objective and subjective elements. The article relates QOL to the opportunities
that are provided to meet human need in form of material well-being, community well-being,
emotional well-being and health and safety well-being. Issues related to
defining, measuring, and scaling those concepts are discussed. Policy
implication will be showed to give conditions for maximizing QOL at individual
and community in that island and all similar islands in Vietnam.
