Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of the article is to address the gap in approaches to assessing the quality of urban life (QoUL) in small towns, with a particular focus on the environmental dimension of the QoUL concept. The authors examined a statistical relation between life satisfaction and QoUL in small towns, detected the position of the environment among other dimensions of QoUL, and explored the link between the stated and revealed preferences of residents in a small town on the outer margin of the metropolitan area of Prague, the capital of Czechia. The results revealed a pathway to assess trade-offs in QoUL posed by the varying effects of the proximity of small towns to larger urban centres. The discussion focuses on the limitations of exploring stated and revealed preferences regarding the use of the QoUL concept in urban planning. The authors conclude that the worst QoUL compared with overall life satisfaction resulted from the ‘bounding effect’ of those who were socially and economically bound to the study location. Additionally, they conclude that the environmental concerns represented an important but not major dimension of QoUL, as was also reflected in election manifestos and results.

小城镇城市生活的环境质量:一项对捷克大都市外围地区陈述和揭示的偏好的探索性研究

本文的目的是解决小城镇城市生活质量(QoUL)评估方法的差距，特别关注QoUL概念的环境维度。作者研究了小城镇生活满意度与生活质量之间的统计关系，检测了生活质量在其他维度中的位置，并探讨了捷克首都布拉格大都市区外缘的一个小镇居民的陈述和显示偏好之间的联系。研究结果揭示了一种途径，可以评估小城镇与大城市中心的邻近程度所带来的不同影响对城市生活质量的权衡。讨论的重点是探索在城市规划中使用QoUL概念的既定和揭示偏好的局限性。作者得出结论，与总体生活满意度相比，最差的生活质量来自于那些在社会和经济上受到研究地点束缚的人的“束缚效应”。此外，他们得出的结论是，环境问题是一个重要但不是主要的方面，这也反映在选举宣言和结果中。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
