Abstract
The Quality of Life (QOL) study gradually has been increasing in various fields recently. We think that the environmental policy finally must aim at the improvement of people's QOL by improving the environment. However, there is a little QOL study in environmental field. Therefore, very few attempts have been made at following question in our country; how will the environmental satisfaction in environmental policy and its related areas improve QOL of an individual and a group of people? This paper attempted to develop the quantitative method to the question. WHOQOL26 index, which is one of the future global standard candidates, was applied in this study. We examined a simple weight method to the index. After reliability and validity of the improved index were verified, a technical application to environmental problems was shown, and the merits were considered.
