摘要

This study aims to measure the quality of life (QoL), using the proposed conceptual model within the context of theinteractions between human behaviour and the environment. It aims to research the effect of the control of residentson QoL, and the findings constitute the basis for a discussion on the effects of environmental policies on QoL.Doğanbey in Bursa, which is in close proximity to the Khans (Inns) District, is selected as the study area because it representsan urban transformation implemented according to administrative decisions. QoL measurements in theresearch reflect people’s evaluations, their adaptation to post-transformation environment and the implementationprocess by means of questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The findings indicate that lack of resident control has anadverse effect on satisfaction and QoL, and that an urban transformation conducted without user participation will fail.In conclusion, the study aims to contribute to decision-making mechanisms within the framework of residents’ influenceto ensure increased QoL. The intention of the authors is to promote the usage of QoL scale developed for other housingor transformation areas by modifying the questions according to varying geographies and social groups.
