Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the quality of life of Korean-American residents of the Seattle-area in the United States, and their satisfaction with the way they live. The method was chosen to more clearly understand the opinions of Korean-American residents about their own “quality of life,” by drawing out ideas of quality of life in the Seattle area from among the entire population. The results of this study were as follows. First, Korean Americans living in the Seattle area have a generally high quality of life. Second, Korean-Americans’ quality of life is ranked just below white Caucasians. Third, the Korean-American community and network is strong. Fourth, among the main factors influencing quality of life, Korean-Americans counted social welfare, citizen participation, transportation and housing affordability high on their list, while white/Caucasian and Asian-American/others ranked health as an important factor.
