As I was making my last blog entry, I got to thinking that if we want
sustainable living to maintain or improve our quality of life, it would be
helpful to have some information on what is relevant to quality of life.
I found
this site- the quality of life
research unit at the university of Toronto- that talks about it a bit.
They have a model that identifies three life domains: being- who one is,
belonging- connections with one’s environments, and becoming- achieving
personal goals, hopes and aspirations. They then break each of these
domains down into three subdomains. Being is broken down into
physical being, psychological being and spiritual being. Belonging is
broken down into physical belonging, social belonging and community
belonging and becoming is broken down into practical becoming, leisure
becoming and growth becoming. They also give examples of each of these
subcategories. Kind of neat!
