ABSTRACT

Liveability is a factor that is also important in urban design and is related to a more general perception of beauty, quality and comfort of the place, not necessarily in connection with health. Urban happiness can be given by both perceptions and intangible aspects and is strongly connected to architectures, public spaces and the natural environment, although with a certain degree of subjectivity. A focal point is the identification of the intrinsic and extrinsic elements which contribute to urban liveability, health and happiness. Indeed, those elements are in strong relation each other, and consequently, the identification of the areas which need to be improved from those points of view is complex. The app is a support for the dynamic visualization of the results of the maps; this is useful for its flexibility and different functionalities and is customizable for many kinds of users.
