Abstract
Neighborhood Quality of Life indicators are constructed based on diverse neighborhood profiles to get a full understanding of residents' well-being in the neighborhoods examined. The results of Neighborhood Quality of Life assessments have traditionally been delivered to the public in the form of printed or online materials. Under this mode of delivery, it is difficult for the public to re-examine the results by using their own weights or neighborhood definitions. Most of the public accept the results because most people do not possess the analytical capabilities and computer software to reevaluate those results. This paper proposes a new method of delivering evaluation results of Neighborhood Quality of Life, one which is based on WebGIS technology. Several system design alternatives are provided and examined in terms of ease of implementation and feasibility. Finally, a prototype system is constructed on the basis of the design alternative selected.
