Abstract

Place of residence, society affects human well-being. Well-being, which is a multidimensional construct, includes such interrelated components as: health, social relations, income, work. Personal characteristics, cultural values, economic, social and political environment. Poor health, feelings of loneliness, lack of social relationships and unemployment have a negative impact on well-being. Analyzing well-being in relation to the environment and understanding the factors affecting well-being are critical to creating a livable environment and achieving social sustainability.
