Make A Better City teacher background Local government & community standards Community standards are the guidelines, rules and norms that govern acceptable behaviour and conduct within communities. Community standards are set in place to encourage residents to treat each other with respect and make it possible to live together in an area. These standards encourage the safety and health of a community and its citizens. Community standards dealt with in this resource refer to rules, guidelines and laws that influence behaviour in a geographic area. However, community standards can also refer to behaviours that are mandated in groups, teams and other types of communities, including, for example, those often established for web-based communities. Encouraging students to make these types of comparisons can provide a balanced context in which to explore the concept of “standards.” Quality of life The Quality of Life Research Unit at the University of Toronto develops conceptual models and instruments for research, evaluation and assessment related to quality of life research. The study of quality of life explores the “influences upon the goodness and meaning in life, as well as people’s happiness and well being. From the perspective of this research project, the ultimate goal of quality of life study and its subsequent applications is to enable people to live quality lives – lives that are both meaningful and enjoyed.” Quality of life is defined, in simple terms, as the answer to the question, “How good is your life for you” Use Technology A number of tools and research studies are available on the University of Toronto Quality of Life Research Unit website, at www.utoronto.ca/qol/ projects.htm. “Every person’s life is different, and thus the way in which each person experiences a quality of life is unique. Individuals lead complex lives that have many dimensions. A quality of life approach recognizes that there are many different aspects of living that may contribute to quality.” University of Toronto Quality of Life Research Unit. www.utoronto.ca/qol/.
