Conference Organization:  International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies
Conference Theme:  How to Measure Quality-of-Life in Diverse Populations.
Location/Dates:  Wyndham Hotel, Washington, DC, November 29th to December 1st,
2001.

The design of living environments has a significant impact on quality-of-life,
especially when effective design enhances the benefits that green spaces,
residential landscapes and cared-for natural resources bring to communities.
Measurement of quality-of-life has historically focused on areas such as
economic well-being or patient health.  Limited research has been directed
toward the quantification of quality-of-life enhancement relative to sensitive
environmental design and planning and the resultant opportunities for
people-plant and people-nature interaction.

Several research/program tracks at the Fourth ISQOLS Conference have been 
added
or expanded to provide enhanced opportunities for dialog in these critically
important quality-of-life areas.  They include Environmental Well-Being, 
Housing
and Neighborhood Well-Being, and Design/Architecture and Quality-of-Life.   
The
deadline for submission is June 1, 2001 (refer to the conference web page for
additional information).
