Introduction
Quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE is a multifaceted STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND dynamic concept that can be different from city to city STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND region to region STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND can be defined by various indicators. Not paying attention to this issue STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND considering the concept of quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE equally in all cities has caused the level of quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE to decrease in many cities, especially middle STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND small cities, in recent years. On the other hSTYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND, considering the concept of quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE in cities to be the same, urban planners do not have a precise understSTYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">ANDing of the factors affecting the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE. Following this, the main goal of this research is to identify, identify STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND compile effective factors for improving the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE in middle STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND small cities on an intra-provincial scale. In order to achieve this goal, the cities of Qazvin STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND Zia Abad in Qazvin province were selected as study samples, so that according to the size of the city, in order to achieve the goal of the research, the factors affecting the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE are analyzed on an intra-provincial scale.
Methodology
The research method is applied research based on quantitative methods. In line with data analysis, after extracting 60 indicators of quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE, first, the indicators were separated into separate STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND structured factors using the exploratory factor analysis method in SPSS software. STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND then, step by step regression method was used to measure the effective factors in improving the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE in cities.
Results STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND discussion
The research findings show that based on exploratory factor analysis, 16 factors were extracted in Zia Abad city STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND 15 factors in Qazvin city as effective factors on the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE in small STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND middle cities. In order to present STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND explain the factors affecting the improvement of the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE in small STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND middle cities, the factors extracted from the factor analysis were analyzed by multivariate regression method STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND step-by-step method. Furthermore, finally, (13) factors were introduced in Zia
Abad STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND (13) factors in Qazvin as the main factors influencing the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE. The analysis of the findings indicates that in Zia Abad, factors such as STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE expectancy STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND social relations, security, the state of urban services STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND access to urban facilities, living expenses, the state of urban furniture, urban traffic, the state of offices STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND housing have more effects in explaining STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND improving the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE. In Qazvin, factors such as the state of urban services, the state of green STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND public spaces in the city, the state of security STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND economic opportunities in the city, the density STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND hope of urban, economic, STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND cultural STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE, the state of roads STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND leisure in the city are effective in explaining the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE. Following this, according to the above findings, quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE is a multidimensional STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND dynamic concept that directly relates to the type of cities STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND the specific characteristics of cities. Therefore, the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND its indicators can differ from city to city; because every city has its characteristics STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND characteristics with citizens with different cultures STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND thinking, which causes the factors affecting the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE to be different. Therefore, considering the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND its indicators to be the same in all cities is wrong, which can lead to the decline of the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND the failure of quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE improvement programs.
Conclusion
Finally, the research results indicate that quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE is a simple concept covering various urban STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE aspects. This concept can be defined as a determining factor in the excellence STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND progress of cities STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND residents' satisfaction with their urban STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE. It is multifaceted STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND dependent on place STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND time. As a result, the perception of people in different cities STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND communities about the concept of quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND the factors affecting it can be different. Following this, factors STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND indicators should be selected according to the characteristics STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND conditions of that city in urban planning to improve the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE for each city. Thus, this research, using the classification of cities based on the size of the city, has presented factors specifically for middle STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND small cities, which in small cities due to strong social solidarity among people STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND the great importance of social STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND cultural concepts, social indicators are more important. Moreover, in middle cities, due to the importance of finding economic concepts STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND urban services in people's lives STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND people's less communication with each other STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND the weakening of solidarity STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND social connections, indicators of urban services STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND facilities STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">AND economic factors have the most importance in explaining the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE; this shows that the quality of STYLE="font-STYLE:inherit;color:rgb(255,0,120);">LIFE indicators are different in all cities.
