Description
Summary:Quality of life is the term that describes how people explained their life conditions. It can be assessing by different methods and one of them can be done through reliable data obtained from a guided interview session. Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (ANP) has been widely applied in various field. However, there have been very little discussions about the application of hierarchical network based on decision analysis to evaluate QOL. This study focus on an evaluation of QOL in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia. An expert in population studies was interviewed to provide linguistic evaluation with respect to three factors and ten sub-factors of QOL. Six step of fuzzy ANP method was implemented to obtain the total value in the evaluation of QOL. The results showed the indicators of social contributed to the first ranking, followed by economic and physical. As a conclusion, knowing the indicators that contributes to the QOL can help people in the population as well as the authorised parties to improve their life conditions.
