The results showed that there was a meaningful relationship between the four dimensions (environmental, physical, economic and social) and life quality. This means that with increasing the quality of the four dimensions, the life quality in studied villages would be increased. Also, the value of correlation factor (R) among variations was 0.974 which showed that there was a relatively strong correlation among dependent and independent variations. The variations of physical dimensions with regression factor of 0.351 and environmental dimensions with regression factor of 0.317 had the most effects on life quality, economic dimensions, and social dimensions with regression factors of 0.341 and 0.275, respectively.
