| Abstract: | A new measure of community well-being is developed based on the notion that community residents perceive the quality-of-life
(QOL) impact of community services and conditions in various life domains (e.g., family, social, leisure, health, financial,
cultural, consumer, work, spiritual, and environmental domains). These perceptions influence residents’ overall perception
of community well-being, their commitment to the community, and their overall life satisfaction. Survey data were collected
in the Flint area (Michigan, USA) in four waves (1978, 1990, 2001, and 2006). The data supported the nomological validity
of the measure. |
