Abstract: The redevelopment of Wakaf Che Yeh from an open-air night market into a permanent structure commercial area with shops and roadside stalls affected the quality of life (QOL) of the surrounding residents. The study examined the impact of the Wakaf Che Yeh redevelopment on QOL in terms of its physical, economic and social aspects as well as overall impact. The findings showed that the majority of respondents felt that the physical and economic aspects of QOL had decreased. However, the social aspect and overall QOL had increased. All the three (3) aspects of QOL, namely physical, economic, and social, were significantly correlated to the overall QOL impact. However, there was a stronger relationship between overall QOL and the social aspect as compared to the correlation between overall QOL and the physical or economic aspects. In fact, the nature of QOL leaned more towards the social concern or wellbeing of people.
