Land Use Study

The League of Women Voters of Brookline is organizing a local study to look at the impact of land use density on quality of life (QOL) in the Town of Brookline. This year the study will focus on the quality of life of Brookline's public school students in grades K-8, and we are looking for a parent-liaison from each school to join our Study Committee.
Examining land use/density characteristics in each of the eight elementary school districts, the goal of this study is to describe these neighborhoods from a child's perspective by gathering insights from the parents of elementary school children. The first task of the study committee will be to define "quality of life" and identify both subjective and objective measures as they relate to public school children.
A couple of existing models that look at the comparative livability of cities around the world can serve as a starting point for creating a tool for evaluating QOL within Brookline's school districts. The Economist*, for example, has come up with a "quality of life" index that combines results of a subjective life-satisfaction survey with 9 objective factors that determine quality of life.
Janice Kahn will be heading up this study. If you are interested in joining this study please send an e-mail to info@lwvbrookline.org or call 617-566-3238.
