During the last decades (especially the black Decade), Algerian cities have experienced a remarkable upset: a pace accelerated, a spread, a transformation on them selves. They have become spatially exploded, socially heterogeneous and composite, economically complex and difficult to manage and environmentally unviable. They take a lawless space configuration and countless pressures that affect the quality of life of its inhabitants into the most intimate dimension. And yet the environmental dimension of the actions of development is often obscured in Algeria. Also the issues of environmental quality and the quality of life arise relevant way and guide reflection on spatial practices and the strategies of the players behaviour. The objective of this paper is to assess the quality of life in neighbourhoods of the city of khenchela, an inland city of the East Algerian. To do this, he was initiated an investigation by questionnaire on land between 15 and 30 March 2015 at the level of five neighbourhoods in the city basically differentiated in terms of geographical location, age and typology of habitat. Special attention is given to the perception of the quality of the framework of life and the urban atmosphere of these neighbourhoods by their residents. Map of the results of the survey and statistical representation allows visualizing the practices of the inhabitants in neighbourhoods, and guiding the actions of development specific to advocate for each neighbourhood to improve their quality of life in urban areas.
