IDENTIFYING THE INDICATORS OF LIVEABLE COMMUNITY: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Sustainability in higher education has become a global imperative. Understanding the successful implementation Liveability is a buzzword describing a community's satisfaction with city living. With the pressure of urban development and the complexities of the interests and aspirations of the community, the translation of the liveability concept into concrete proxies is more demanding than ever. Against the background, this paper has two objectives: 1) to identify the assessment tool used to measure the liveable community and (2) to examine the indicators and sub-indicators used in the liveable assessment tool. Using the PRISMA standard, this paper conducted a systematic literature review. After screening 3,800 articles from electronic databases (WoS, Scopus, Science Direct, and Emerald Insight), the study included about 20 articles. After referring to the reference list of selected papers, the researchers had only 27 papers in this systematic literature review. Three dimensions - social, economic, and environmental - were used to divide the indicator of a liveable community. This study focuses on the indicators within each dimension that contribute to developing liveable communities. Future research should investigate and identify context-specific indicators for assessing liveability in specific locational or geographic areas.
