For Analyzing data that collect by questionnaire by SPSS software using chi-square tests, T-test, and Pearson correlation and regression tests to measure the correlation between objective and subjective quality of life indicators. The results indicate that considering the negative outcomes in the domains of housing, income and employment, transportation, utilities and urban facilities, social and cultural dimensions reflect the low quality of life in these areas. In addition, it is only in a social security domain that is a positive indicator of the satisfaction of citizens in this area.
