Furthermore, a questionnaire of a Likert-type scale has applied to a sample of 31 specialists who were asked to rank the importance of the sub-dimensions proposed. The questionnaire analysed using descriptive statistics to arrange the urban quality of life dimensions, and sub-dimensions, indicators to give them a relative weight in the Tool-Kit. The Tool-Kit also shows the frequencies of the proposed indicators in the three dimensions, the used tools, and the validation tools for the measurement. The proposed Tool-kit proved that it's important to take into consideration both quantitative and qualitative measurements of the urban quality of life for low-income groups.
