Résumé: L'amélioration de la qualité de vie (QdV) de la population est l'un des programmes de développement les plus importants pour tous les pays en voie de développement, notamment la Malaisie. L'objectif de cette étude est d'examiner la qualité de vie des habitants de Pulau Redang et de Pulau Perhentian, deux îles dans l'état de Terengganu, en utilisant la méthode mixte. Les résultats ont révélé que près de 20 pour cent des répondants n'ont jamais reçu aucune forme d'éducation formelle, et plus de la moitié des répondants ont reçu une éducation primaire seulement. Le faible niveau d'éducation des parents a abouti à la formation de bas niveau de la deuxième génération. L'éducation, l'emploi, la vie familiale et l'aide sociale sont parmi les facteurs qui ont influencé la qualité de vie objective (réelle) et subjective (perçue) des habitants des deux îles. L'étude a également montré que le niveau de la qualité de vie objective et subjective de la plupart des habitants sur les deux îles a été au niveau moyen. Cependant, un niveau faible de la qualité des logements a affecté la qualité de vie des peuples. Les revenus du ménage a influencé en quelque sorte le score de la qualité de vie. L'étude a également révélé que le développement et l'amélioration de la qualité de vie des habitants entretenus par le gouvernement de l'île progresse à un rythme lent. Les résultats obtenus de la corrélation de Pearson a également révélé que la qualité de vie objective et subjective ont été significativement corrélée. Cela signifie que pour la plupart des habitants sur les deux îles, plus haut le niveau de leur qualité de vie objective, meilleure leur qualité de vie subjective.
