Abstract
The ineffectiveness of a development program in increasing the quality of life of an indigenous community is often linked to the attitude of the planners who fail to understand the needs and life’s aspirations of the target group as well as the realities of their social world. Therefore, the objective of this study is to understand the world-view of the Bidayuh community about quality of life. This research has drawn on the phenomenological approach utilising abductive logic based on idealist ontology and constructionist epistemology. This study was conducted in the Serian District, Sarawak which is one of the four districts under the administration of Samarahan Division. The population of this study consisted of two groups which were: i) the Bidayuh community living in the suburban areas; and ii) the Bidayuh community living in the rural areas.
A total of 100 respondents were involved in this study using the technique of non-probability sampling. The size of the sample for this study was achieved through the continuous support toward measurement or the criteria on theoretical saturation. Data in this study was collected using the technique of in-depth interview and informal group discussion. The study found that there are 23 types of themes and seven categories of world- view of the Bidayuh community living in the suburban areas about quality of life. The themes of capability, participation and empowerment are the themes that became the main choice. In the meantime, the world-view of the Bidayuh community who lives in the rural area about quality of life also consists of 23 types of themes and seven
categories. The themes of residence, income, money and savings, employment, infrastructure and public services, customary land and land grant and accesibility to agricultural produce market are the themes that became the main choice of the rural Bidayuh community. The findings also showed that even though the position of the categories of quality of life based on world-view between the respondents who live in the suburban and rural areas differ, the respondents’ interpretation of each theme contained in those categories are almost similar.
