The study is the third of a series of studies, where the first study was conducted and published in 2011 and the second in 2016. The results of the periodic research reveal the transformation of districts in Istanbul in terms of quality of life. The study, carried out on the same methods and parameters, aims to monitor the quality of life at the district level in Istanbul over the years. The weighted average method was used in the analysis made with the district-level 2020 data in Istanbul. According to the index results, Kadıköy, Beşiktaş, Bakırköy, Üsküdar, and Şişli are the districts with the highest quality of life, while Gaziosmanpaşa, Esenler, Sultanbeyli, Sultangazi, and Arnavutköy districts are in the last place. As a result of the clustering study, when evaluated in  terms  of  5  clusters,  it  is  observed  that  4.8  percent  of  the  population of Istanbul lives in the first level, which is the highest quality of life, while 15.9% are second, 31.5% are third, 36.2% are fourth, and 11.6% are in districts with a fifth level of quality of life.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Bu  çalışma  ilki  2011  yılında  ikincisi  2016  yılında  yayınlanan  İstanbul’da 39 ilçeyi karşılaştıran yaşam kalitesi endeksinin güncel verilerle yenilendiği ve geçmiş yıllarla karşılaştırmaların yapıldığı bir araştırmadır. Periyodik olarak yapılan araştırmanın sonuçları İstanbul’daki  ilçelerin  yaşam  kalitesi  açısından  dönüşümünü  ortaya  koymaktadır.  Aynı  yöntem  ve  parametreler  üzerinden  gerçekleştirilen  çalışma  yıllar  itibariyle  İstanbul’da  ilçeler  düzeyinde  yaşam  kalitesinin  izlenmesini  hedeflemektedir.  İstanbul’da  ilçe  düzeyinde  2020  verileri  ile  yapılan  analizde  ağırlıklandırılmış  ortalama  yöntemi  kullanılmıştır.  Endeks  sonuçlarına  göre  Kadıköy,  Beşiktaş,  Bakırköy,  Üsküdar  ve  Şişli  yaşam kalitesinin en yüksek olduğu ilçeler iken, Gaziosmanpaşa, Esenler, Sultanbeyli, Sultangazi ve Arnavutköy ilçeleri sıralamada sonlarda yer almıştır. Yapılan kümeleme çalışması sonucunda 5 küme açısından değerlendirildiğinde, İstanbul nüfusunun yüzde4,8’inin en yüksek yaşam kalitesi olan birinci düzeyde yaşadığı gözlenirken, %15,9’u ikinci, %31,5’i üçüncü, %36,2’si dördüncü ve %11,6’sı beşinci düzeyde yaşam kalitesine sahip ilçelerde bulunmaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>
