Abstract

This study investigated the quality of life (QoL) in residential communities through residentsʼ behaviors and how it could affect the social sustainability of the urban environment. Four aspects have been discussed; opportunities and constraints, Land use encroachment, satisfaction, and models of relations between users and their urban environment.A convenient sample of subjects has been chosen, and the merging method “Swapping tools and attitudes” has been chosen to apply its procedures in the fieldwork of the selected case studies. The determined indicators have been evaluated in each case study, and a comparison has been held to evaluate the findings of each setting. The selected case studies are;• Al Rehab City, New Cairo.• Zeinhom Residences, El Sayeda Zeinab, Cairo.Perceived barriers were found to have direct and indirect effects on human well-being. Recognition of the differential roles played by environmental attributes, residentsʼ satisfaction, and use patterns can guide planners and designers to create outdoor spaces that enhance urban residentsʼ wellbeing.
