For developing the model of my PhD thesis about "urban happiness in public spaces", I would like to recognize the best system dynamic methods. I sincerely looking for the recommendation.
Cities or urban places are very complex particularly when you investigate the topic of happiness in public spaces. Issues or variables such as center/periphery, high or middle/lower classes, population/density, industrial/commercial or tourist, secular/religious significance among other variable must be considered. Focus on one or more of these variables might help attacking the problem.
Dear Researcher, the following questionnaire in a tabular form wit perfection of individuals AT DIFFERENT AGE GROUP SUCH AS 25-35 / 35- 45 / 45-55 / 55 - 65/
EACH AGE GROUP CAN BE UP TO 100 - 150 PERSON - MALE AND FEMALE IN EQUAL PROPORTION OF 50% AND 50%.
The dynamic methodologies to evaluate happiness and mental health would be as follows:-
Work or profession / Salaried or self employed
Job security / sustainability as self employed
Earning is adequate / less / sufficient/ more
Both husband and wife working or single earning
Number of dependents
Any dependent Physically or mentally challenged - if YES = How many?
Savings - possible / some savings /little savings / no savings / impossible
Medical insurance - Have / Do not Have = if Do not Why?
Residence - Rental / Owned / Bank loan
Transport - Rental / Owned/ Bank Loan
Using public transport - Always / sometimes / occasionally /never
Children education - Govt / private / no education = why
Job satisfaction - Happy / Unhappy / cant help but do it
Whole Family Vacation - possible / Impossible
Vacation if possible - How many times in a year and for how many days?
Easy to save for vacation - make sure to save / never save but just go with the month expenditure
How is the feeling with city life in the crowded society - Happy /some what Happy / cant help it but live / never Happy
Routine city life - like / dislike / hate / tolerate
City life in total understanding is - Better / Best / Bad / Good / Excellent.
Entertainment such as - TV / Cinema / concerts and others - Yes / No
If YES how many times in a year?
Do the family celebrate all festivals adequately and happily - Yes / No
Do the family attend all family oriented functions - Yeas / No
like to live in the city for ever or return to village during retirement?
How happy city life is - very Happy / Happy / Not Happy / want to leave as soon as possible
A perfect evaluation can be done with the work out and can easily identify the number of people happy in various levels and their mental state of happiness in different levels.
