Abstract

Liveability is a concept that involves the integration of sustainability factors with the quality of life experienced by the people living in a particular place. The objective was to get a profound understanding of the viewpoint held by its community. Many reviews and studies on liveability commonly gathered quantitative data to conclude and compare liveability among regions. Conversely, this study introduces an innovative approach for evaluating the quality of life. Utilising a blend of autobiographical and narrative analysis, this work seeks to depict the concept of liveability via the lens of personal experiences, with a particular emphasis on Muslim woman value and perspectives in the Bush Capital.
