This handbook provides an extensive overview of the links between
quality of life and social change as pursued in not only
humanitarian and development work, but also in the private sector
and academia. It combines theoretical and practice-focused chapters
and addresses socio-economic, environmental, and
political/governance aspects as well as communication and human
behavioural factors that favour or hamper social change dynamics.
The handbook showcases vast diversity both in the
authorship---which includes practitioners from a wide range of
sectors and academics from various disciplines---as well in
geographical contexts and regions. The chapters cover a wide range
methods and tools, which facilitate an inclusive understanding of
the relationship between quality of life and social change. They
show connections between micro (individual) changes and the
dynamics that derive from them at the meso (community), macro
(country) and meta levels (planet) of quality of life, and the
social change processes sustained through time. The chapters
demonstrate that quality of life and social change mutually
condition and nurture each other. The handbook overall provides a
holistic perspective to social change processes that includes both
material and non-material aspects relating to quality of
life. This comprehensive and one-of-a-kind volume is of
interest to a wide readership, from students and researchers of
social development, quality of life and wellbeing research, to
development workers, policy makers and other government
officials.  The handbook is bundled with an
interactive online course.
