The purpose of this article was to identify the factors that influenced the quality of residents’ life in Bach Long Vi island, Vietnam. Survey data were collected from 63 households per total 150 household on Bach Long Vi Island, Vietnam. The research model was proposed from the studies of Quality of life (QOL). QOL is proposed as a multi- scale, multi-dimensional concept that contains interacting objective and subjective elements. The article relates QOL to the opportunities that are provided to meet human need in form of material well-being, community well- being, emotional well-being and health and safety well-being. Issues related to defining, measuring, and scaling those concepts are discussed. Policy implication will be showed to give conditions for maximizing QOL at individual and community in that island and all similar islands in Vietnam.
