在当前的区域规划背景下，社会经济剥夺问题及其对生活质量的影响变得非常重要。虽然城市及其边缘地区的一些区域在不断发展，但其中各次区域的社区发展街区呈现出较为明显的二分性和二元性发展格局。因此，与发展准备程度较高的城市相比，次区域在社会经济方面变得更容易受到影响，也更容易受到影响。主要原因是国家资产和资源在各次区域体系之间分配不均。因此，有必要评估不同分区的易感程度。通过研究次区域的剥夺模式，可以在空间上解释发展过程中的敏感性。此外，还对生活质量进行了观察，发现物质基础设施和住房条件较差，这与易感性有关。本文试图从这两项观察中确定剥夺的模式及其对生活质量的影响。该研究是根据 15 个社会经济增长指标的表现进行的，这些指标大致分为健康、教育和经济指标，遵循人类发展指数 (HDI) 指南。通过计算整个区域剥夺指数的分布，可以确定子区域的剥夺模式。最后，本文试图理解剥夺指数与生活质量指标之间关系的本质。马尔达是西孟加拉邦相对欠发达的地区，有一个具体案例，被选为案例研究，以最好地表达本文的关注点。
In the current context of regional planning, the issue of socioeconomic deprivation and its impact on quality of life is becoming highly significant. Though several regions in cities and their fringe areas are continuously developing, but the community development blocks of various sub regions in them exhibit a fairly evident pattern of dichotomy and duality in development. Consequently, the sub regions become more socio-economically susceptible and more prone to vulnerability compared to the cities having a higher level of preparedness in development. The key reason is the unequal distribution of national assets and resources across the systems of sub regions. Hence, there is a need to evaluate the degree of susceptibility in the different sub regions. The susceptibility in the process of development can be spatially explained by studying the patterns of deprivation in the sub regions. Additionally there is an observation on quality of life in terms of poor physical infrastructure and housing conditions, which has bearing with susceptibility. The present paper tries to identify the patterns of deprivation and its impact on quality of life from the two observations. The study has been performed based on the performances of fifteen socio-economic growth indicators, broadly categorized as health, education and economic indicators following Human Development Index (HDI) guidelines. The patterns of deprivation of a sub region have been identified by calculating the distribution of deprivation index across the region. Finally, the paper has tried to understand the nature of relationship between deprivation index and quality of life indicators. There is a specific case of Malda, a comparatively less developed region of West Bengal which has been selected as the case study to best forward the concerns of the paper.
