The social aspect that is observed on the subject, Schalock (1996)

Research on Quality of Life is important because the concept is emerging as an organizing principle that can be applicable for the improvement of a society like ours, subject to social, political, technological and economic transformations.

It is considered that the true usefulness of the concept is perceived above all in human services, immersed in a "Quality revolution" that advocates person-centered planning and the adoption of a model of support and improvement techniques. the quality.

The concept can be used for a number of purposes, including the assessment of the needs of people and their levels of satisfaction, the evaluation of the results of human programs and services, the direction and guidance in the provision of these services and the formulation of national and international policies aimed at the general population and more specific ones.

It seems important to reflect on the public space of cities, when and how do they emerge, how are the planning of their growth developing? What is the impact on the cultural process in a dynamic and evolutionary way. Second, we can ask ourselves some questions about this type of public space in the context of modernity and the social and cultural trends of the world, especially in Mexico.

How is the configuration of public spaces influencing the lives of people, their health, their relationships with others, their civic life, that is, their quality of life? Other questions that can be taken into account are: Is the design of public spaces responding to the need for a better quality of life and social integration of people and their development? To what extent does urban design promote an interpersonal encounter, communication between citizens, life in the community, so necessary for the health of people? How can we enhance the design of public spaces in a way that favors the quality of life of its users? (two) By observing these questions we can understand how a group of people interested in the subject, begin to identify the role played by the environment for a person, being this determinant in generating spaces that enrich or impoverish the quality of life, in which has related to the impact on the health status of the population. Recent studies have shown that in large cities there is an increase in certain types of diseases that do not occur in small cities with a different level of development.
