Quality of life is a concept that has been used in the lives of the people of the town and village. This article sought to investigate the quality of life in villages that are near a far from city in central district of Kermanshah. This is a quantitative-survey research that uses questionnaire to collect information. The population size is 300 people (150 inhabitants of villages under radius of 15 km distance from Kermanshah and 150 inhabitants of villages with radius of more than 15 km radius of Kermanshah). Selection of villages was based on simple random sampling (total of 20 villages) and sampling in each village was based on systematic random sampling method. The reliability of the study was confirmed by Cochran's formula of 0.73 and the validity of the research was confirmed by geography and social sciences experts. The test used was Friedman. Research findings show that the quality of life in rural areas near the city is better than rural areas far from the city. This was confirmed by the Friedman test. There is not much difference in job diversity and quality of life earnings and this difference is more in infrastructure and social components.
