             abstract = "The concept of well-being has evolved over the past several 
                         decades as research has continued to reveal its multidimensional, 
                         dynamic, person-specific and culture-specific nature. Most 
                         recently, the ecological embeddedness of well-being has also 
                         gained recognition, and this development of the concept demands 
                         that we explore and identify new conceptual frameworks and 
                         appropriate methodological approaches towards the assessment of 
                         quality of life within a socioecological context. This paper 
                         offers a review of seminal and current research in the fields of 
                         social indicators, human development, ecological economics, and 
                         natural resources management, with the aim of examining the 
                         concept and the various methodologies designed to assess both the 
                         objective and subjective components and the multiple dimensions 
                         that comprise well-being. We also present some methodological 
                         approaches that have the capacity to account for the role of 
                         ecosystem services, considering several studies of rural 
                         populations whose well-being depends on the flow of ecosystem 
                         services, highlighting the participatory methods these studies 
                         employed to identify and assess locally relevant well-being 
                         indicators, and addressing some of the challenges inherent in such 
                         methods. We conclude with an appraisal of what we regard as the 
                         most appropriate methodological approach for measuring human 
                         well-being in the socioecological context. © 2013 Springer
