About 20 years ago, in the Trimulyo village, Genuk Sub-districts, the community still feels comfortable to live in, a river that flows in the region can still be used for washing, and as a playground for children (pool and bath), the well is still clean. But after Genuk Sub-districts started many emerging industrial area, then begin a wide range of environmental issues toward this region. Currently in the Trimulyo village Genuk Sub-districts, shallow wells can not be utilized as a source of clean water, as well as river conditions ranging turbid, have a dark color of water, foul odor, especially when the dry season arrives. Settlements in Trimulyo village is one of the victims of the land use change from fishery and agricultural (rural) to industrial (urban). Many farmers and fishermen, who then turned as a laborers, or they have to moved after the land was purchased for the construction industry. For those who stayed, their work changed as industrial workers, or open food stalls,or rent out his house to the settlers. Environmental quality are positively correlated with the quality of human life, if the quality of the environment ugly then so did the quality of its human (Sarwono, 1992). This study examines the correlation between environmental quality and the quality of human in the settlements of neighborhoods in Trimulyo village. The quality of the environment detected by the condition of the buildings, facilities and infrastructure, location and accessibility, as well as the comfort of the physical environment. While quality of life is detected through health, economic, educational, and social relationships. The results showed that not all regions with poor environmental physical conditions certainly people have a poor quality of life as well, because it turns out that the poor environmental can still grow social kinship attitudes that is able to raise the degree quality of life. In addition, the quality of public education is relatively good, will improve the quality of life as well. So in this Trimulyo village, although the quality of the environment is ugly, but the quality of life is in good category. keywords:quality of life, environmental quality, settlements, Semarang, Indonesia I. BACKGROUND Semarang is now facing land subsidence of which speed reaches 8 cm per year. The land is directly adjacent to the sea so that this location suffers real loss of the sea water rise and relative sea water rise. In fact, this location has great number of population and is the center of industrial activity in Semarang. The location suffers from this environmental degradation is located on the East-west of the city that is Genuk Sub-district. GenukSub-district is a suitable area for urban activities which include industrial activities, settlements, and other life activities. The land is flat (the slope is only 5%) and has traffic lanes connecting big cities in Java (Jakarta-Surabaya). Unfortunately, there is a great land subsidence that is 8 cm per year (Khadiyanto, 2005). Thus, Genuk area is unquestionably flooded by the tide. In this poor condition, however, the people still put their interest to settle in this area which is proven by the every-year population growth in this sub-district. In Semarang, PedurunganSub-district faces the highest population growth, seen from the coming inhabitants, then Ngalian, West Semarang, Tembalang, Banyumanik, and GenukSub-district. It shows that even though GenukSub-district suffers from environmental degradation due to the land subsidence and is always inundated due to the sea level rise which is occurred twice in a month. Yet it does not lessen the people’ interest to come to GenukSub-district.

Almost all kinds of habitat are occupied by human such as coastal area to the high Andes, from tropical forest to hot, dry, and humid dessert and to arctic area full with ice. With their great capability to adapt, human population keeps growing and is ready to occupy any new habitats. There are three process of adaptation (Sarwono, 1992) that are (1) Physiologic adaptation – a physiologic change within the actor of adaptation, (2) Morphologic adaptation – shape adjustment on the actor of adaptation, and (3) Cultural adaptation – that is life style adjustment done by the actor of adaptation. Soemarwoto (1991), explains that the quality of the environment can’t be easily determined, it is because people's perceptions of the environment quality is different. With a simple formula mentioned that someone will declare the environmental quality was good when the environment can make people feel comfortable, feel at home, comfortable for a long stay. The comfortable feeling caused by several factors, such as the considerable economic, climatic conditions of an environment, and other natural factors that according to human feelings. Feeling comfortable is subjective. Enjoy staying or pleasure to stay, is not the same as filling happy, enjoy staying showed that he wanted to stay longer in there. There are certain factors that affect optimum for comfortable and "enjoy to stay”, like feel at home is. In general, the quality of the environment can be considered as something that meets the preferences of imagination ideal person or group of people (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). Environmental quality is a subjective assessment associated with the psychological aspects and socio-cultural communities that inhabit in a housing area. While quality of life is a multidimensional and complex, have many linkages between economic, social, cultural, and psychologi (Halim D. 2005). The need of essential life, referred to as the basic living needs. People's perception of basic needs will vary, because it is also influenced by social, cultural, economic, psychologi, and also time, as well as consideration of the needs of short-term and long-term. Quality of life is basically dependent on the fulfillment of basic needs of each individual(Klien D.C. 2005;Samsunuwiyati P. 2006). The better the basic needs are then met the better Correlation Between Quality Of Environment DOI: 10.9790/0837-2109020109 www.iosrjournals.org 5 | Page quality of life. Quality of life was often irreparably if not essential life needs can also be met. However, if basic needs can not be met, the fulfillment of which are not essential does not make much sense (Soemarwoto 1991), according that, the quality of human life turns out is determined by three (3) things: 1. Meeting needs of life as a living being, or referred to as a basic necessity. 2. Meeting needs as a human life, or so-called civilized beings. 3. To fulfill the need for the ability to choose, or referred to as an alternative property that much. From the description above, it can be concluded that the quality of life seen from the aspect of health, economy, education, and social relationships. Environmental quality housing can be measured based on the physical aspects of the condition of settlement, type of dwelling, home ownership, environment and the availability of facilities (Kuswartojo, Tjuk, et al., 2005). Budihardjo (1996) and Catanese (1986) mentions factors that can be used to assess the quality of the residential environment is as follows: 1. Puddle or inundation 2. Drinking Water Source 3. Sanitation 4. Rain Water Channels 5. Garbage Disposal 6. Entrances or Accessibility 7. Income Residents 8. The layout of the settlement 9. Building Quality 10. Location 11. Age of Village / Settlement 12. Resident Education, and 13. Building Density Environmental quality is a measure of the quality of the environment in which people can feel comfortable in that place. The quality of this environment can be measured both subjectively and objectively. Subjectively can be seen from the base desires of each individual, and objectively viewed by the physical condition of the environment, whether natural or artificial (Turner, John F.C, 1976). In addition there is a certain threshold of basic needs according to Maslow (1943) which can be connected with the meaning of a house, that they got some sense according to their respective needs, among others: 1. Physiological Needs, houses provide protection against natural disturbances and animals, as a private family, and serves as a resting place. 2. The need for a sense of security, as the place to conduct rituals, a place to store belongings, guaranteeing personal rights. 3. The need for social relations, the home provides an opportunity for interaction and communication activity that is familiar with the surrounding neighbors. Humans require recognition of ownership, and this means that human beings need social contact in the environment. The house needs a residential neighborhood as a unit that can be identif
