dc.description.abstractThe purpose of the thesis was to establish a level-living index for an urban coIIIIllunity in order to clarify the concept and function of class. Level. of living refers here to the status which a person or family occupies with reference to the ownership of types of goods. The criteri9n used in the selection of the sample was gross family income. Two geographically, socially and economically diver­gent areas were sampled in the City of Calgary with one hundred and thirty-five single-family dwellings in each sample. The interview schedule was de??igned to obtain information on the possession or nonpossession of certain household amenities, cultural amenities and the condition of certain of those facilities. A Guttman scaling technique was applied to the data. Error of reproducibility for all scales obtained was ninety percent. A discussion of each scale and the implication of the study for the measurement of social class and urban blight is given.
