Holistic and sustainable quality of life

Anotace: In the article we focused on incorporating sustainability into the concept of quality of life in response to the current accelerating environmental problems. Quality of life is understood holistically as a link between the personal or subjective dimension with a geographic dimension or objective, expressed in terms of quality of place. Two goals were formulated in the article. The first is to analyze the possibility of including sustainability in the concept of holistic quality of life. It includes an answer to the question of which lifestyle - hedonistic or eudaimonic is sustainable. The second goal, closely related to the first, is to explore the spatial differentiation of holistic quality of life in districts of the Czech Republic. In the theoretical part of article, we explore quality of life, holistic quality of life and sustainable quality of life. In the empirical part we measure both dimensions of holistic quality of life in the form of satisfaction with life and satisfaction with the place in districts of the Czech Republic. The data were obtained by face-to-face interviews so that all districts were proportionally represented in terms of population. The informative value of such measurements, based on correlations, is high, much higher than the measurement of place quality in the form of set indicators. The value of the correlation between life satisfaction and place satisfaction according to the verbal evaluation of the correlation values is medium high.
