What is it about?
In Bandung, Indonesia, there are enormous challenges to the maintenance of a high quality of life (QOL) for its citizens. Unequal income distribution in the city threatened social cohesion. In 2018, we investigated the states and correlation of social cohesion and QOL in the city through a survey. The results revealed that the population of Bandung has high social cohesion and decent QOL. QOL is significantly correlated with social cohesion, therefore strategies that seek to enhance social cohesion may be beneficial to improve the QOL.
