Airports conduct economic impact analyses, employment studies, and environmental studies.  Going further, airports can gain a more complete understanding of the variables affecting their surrounding communities by measuring quality of life (QOL) as discussed in a TRB webinar.  Community QOL is a multi-dimensional concept that refers to a community’s perceived and actual well-being. It also reflects a broad range of indicators.  The webinar featured research from ACRP’s Measuring Quality of Life in Communities Surrounding Airports.
