Good Living indicators: For the valuation of cultural identities

Abstract

Currently, in the most different socioeconomic and environmental contexts, the indicators of well-being and quality of life are privileged, based on qualitative and quantitative information in the space-time scope. The objective of this article is to present a proposal, in the theoretical-methodological framework, of a system of indicators of Good Living related to subjective well-being, overcoming the limits of mere economic quantification. The methodology is bibliographical with a narrative description. From both theoretical and contextual points of view, it consists of an analysis of literature references, with interpretation and critical analysis. Although the concept is in the process of construction, requiring progress in terms of conceptualization and operationalization, a matrix of indicators is proposed that suggest utility for measuring the dimensions of Good Living, which seek a complementarity between subjective and objective aspects and intersubjectivity.
