This study attempted to concentrate on the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and looked at the QoL
and Well-being of individuals in thirteen of its districts representing its major population. It followed
an integrative and quantitative approach to measure Quality of Life. The results show that Material
Living Conditions (MLC), Productive Activity and Quality, Personal Development and Health Access
and Perception affect the quality of life positively and significantly in all the districts in both the
urban and rural areas with some exceptions. Personal Safety (PS) and Security has positive effects on
the QoL for nearly all of the target areas. The study shows that Governance and Basic Rights (GBR)
affects the quality of life negatively in majority of the research areas. However, in some areas like
Nowshera in the rural area (0.354), Lower Dir (0.004), Kohat in the urban area (0.301), the
governance and basic rights are affecting the QoL in a positive way. Inter-personal Relation and
Social Cohesion (IPRSC) effects the quality of life in both negative and positive way. Natural and
Living Environment (NLE) is affecting adversely the Quality of Life. There is a need to develop
dimensions of the aggregate effects which further requires data on these collective effects on
development in different areas for instance health, education, political voice etc., which are the
prominent characteristics for Quality of Life. There is a need not only to augment the acquired level
of information base but also to further ameliorate statistical prowess.
