20 Conducting a Quality of Life Assessment This chapter describes the stepbystep tiered approach to conducting a QOL assessment and use of the survey tool, as outlined in Figure 4. The research team recommends that each airport review the steps in this chapter to determine the appropriate number of steps necessary to meet their objectives.

24 Measuring Quality of Life in Communities Surrounding Airports Examples of stakeholders identified for each of the three airport partner workshops are pro vided in Appendix E The selection of stakeholders may have differed if the partner airports planned to undertake a full QOL assessment, but the identification process aligned with the process used by the airports to identify stakeholders for other purposes, such as master planning or communicating information concerning noise.

Conducting a Quality of Life Assessment 25 QOL in cases where resource constraints make conducting a more comprehensive assessment impractical. Airports can select any number of indicators, but 25 to 35 should be considered the minimum necessary to undertake this type of study.
