Abstract

Socio-spatial inequality is an important subject matter of human geography. Assessment of urban quality of life is significant to assess intra-urban inequality in social and environmental terms across various localities. By using principal component analysis, spatial inequality in objective quality of life in Aizawl City is measured at locality level. High ranked localities were found at central locationand important junctions where buildings are mixed with both residential and commercial functions. On the other hand, the lowest ranked localities are the most peripheral localities which are mostly older settlements that have been incorporated into the city proper through legislative decisions.
