ANALYTICAL STUDY OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL DIMENSION OF QUALITY OF LIFE IN KHENCHELA CITY
Abstract
This study aims at shedding light on the current state of the environmental dimension of the quality of life in the city of Khenchela by studying four variables : water, air, green spaces, and waste management. It focuses on the objective indicators of the four variables obtained from an international database and fieldwork, as well as on the use of subjective indicators of one variable through the distribution of an online questionnaire that included a random sample of 500 individuals. The findings of the study revealed that the environmental dimension of quality of life in the city of Khenchela is characterized by limited water sources with dilapidated distribution networks, good air quality despite the concentration of some pollutants exceeding the thresholds set by the World Health Organization, and lack of effective waste management in contrast to the availability of green spaces.
