<p>This volume provides an overview of the ways the Italian school of quality of life studies addresses well-being&nbsp;and quality of life, from both a substantive and a methodological point of view. It discusses various&nbsp;topics such as those of equitable and sustainable wellbeing, lifestyles, the organization of economy and&nbsp;welfare, as well as aspects related to the measurement of quality of life in small towns, institutional&nbsp;transparency and corruption prevention indicators. Chapters presented in this volume are drawn from&nbsp;papers presented at the conferences of the Italian Association for Quality of Life Studies (AIQUAV) held in&nbsp;Florence, Italy, in 2015 and 2016. The volume is organised into three parts. The first part is devoted to&nbsp;methods and indicators for research on quality of life, the second part to social sustainability, lifestyles,&nbsp;cultural aspects and local applications, and the third to economy, welfare and quality of life. The volume&nbsp;hosts contributions that are interdisciplinary in scope and mirror the complexity of the globalized world.</p>
