Abstract

Quality of life (QoL) has received more and more attention from scholars and researchers from various fields such as healthcare, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and especially economics after many decades of focusing on income. However, researchers have faced many challenges to gain the proper measurement of QoL due to the contextually based concept. This study employs the primary data conducted in Ho Chi Minh City including 500 observations in 2022, with the application of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to construct a hierarchical model to measure the QoL of the dwellers in Ho Chi Minh City. The empirical model supports the multi-level hierarchical structure of the QoL. The statistically significant contribution of economic, social, and environmental dimensions in the integrated index has been confirmed. The environmental component shares the highest weight, followed by the economic factor. The social aspect contributes the least share in the quality- of-life index. Further analysis of the sub-criteria in each dimension has been made. The findings implicitly suggest the policy concentration on sustainable factors enhancement to raise the QoL. It was a milestone for policy makers to switch the focus from material to non-material factors in the life quality model in Vietnam.

Abstract

This research employs the spherical fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (SFAHP) to prioritize key factors shaping the higher education quality in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam within the context of increasing digitalization. Through a structured hierarchy encompassing criteria such as accessibility of digital resources, adaptability and innovation, pedagogical integration, student engagement, and technological infrastructure, a novel decision-making approach was applied in this study to evaluate the relative importance of these facets, using in-depth expert interviews. The findings underscore pedagogical integration and student engagement as pivotal, indicating the essential role of innovative teaching methodologies integrated with technology. Additionally, accessibility of digital resources emerges as critical, emphasizing the imperative of equitable access to technological tools for diverse student demographics. Lower-ranked criteria such as adaptability and innovation and technological infrastructure, though deemed less critical, are foundational for fostering an agile, innovative, and technology-empowered educational ecosystem. The implications drawn from these findings provide a strategic direction for policymakers and educational stakeholders, aiming to enhance the quality, accessibility, and relevance of higher education in Vietnam’s dynamic digital landscape. This framework could be expanded to different educational contexts to effectively integrate technology in learning environments.
