Title: Quality of life in the urban context, within the paradigm of digital human capital. Authors: Navarro, J.L.; López, V.R.; Huete, N. y Nevado, D. (2024)
Highlights
We analyze the relationship between citizens’ digital capabilities and their perception of quality of life.
We use a multifactorial national survey for Spain in the year 2023.
The results reveal a significant correlation between the level of digital skills and various quality of life factors.
Residents in densely populated urban areas with greater digital capabilities show higher levels of social happiness.
Human capital and digital ability are critical in the smart cities construction and social happiness improvement.
At the General Assembly held on May 24, 2024, my appointment as Honorary Member (foreign, SPAIN) of the Academy of Romanian Scientists (AOSR) in the section of Economics, Law, and Sociology was overwhelmingly voted for (105 votes – 99%). This recognition is for my contribution to science, especially in econometric models, social indicators, intangibles, knowledge management, and quality of life measurement. Additionally, I have been proposed as an associate editor of the section journal. I feel honored and grateful to a country that has welcomed and valued my research career over the past two decades and that encourages me to continue working in this field.
Environmental sustainability can positively affect quality of life by reducing environmental degradation and increasing access to natural resources, while economic sustainability initiatives can have both positive and negative impacts on quality of life, depending on the context. Social sustainability initiatives can also have both positive and negative impacts on quality of life, particularly for marginalized communities and low-income populations. The investigation draws on a comprehensive national survey in Spain encompassing 2,270 responses, ensuring representative profiles in terms of gender, residence, income, age, and economic sector. Considering the aforementioned factors, this research aims to underscore the necessity of recognizing the interconnections between sustainability and quality of life in policy and decision-making processes towards social happiness. To achieve this, an analysis of variance is presented, enabling the examination of significant differences in the sociodemographic characteristics of Spanish citizens across the three dimensions defining sustainability. Specifically, income, age and population size are key in determining the relationship between sustainability and social happiness. Furthermore, an econometric analysis has demonstrated a positive relationship between sustainability and quality of life in Spain. The key factors are safety, trust, income, and accessibility. The findings of this study can provide valuable insights to inform policy decisions aimed at promoting sustainability and enhancing the overall quality of life. The interlinked integration of smart cities and smart rural areas constitutes the quality of life zone that influences sustainability.
