This study has the purpose to examine what the level of the quality of subjective life which the disabled feel in the daily life is, what the difference of the quality of subjective life according to individual factor and environmental factor is, and to confirm how the factors influence on the quality of life of the disabled.

The data collected in this are executed the frequency analysis, technical statistics, t-test, dispersion analysis, mutual relation analysis and multiple regression analysis by being utilized SPSS for Windows 12.0 statistical program.

Examining according to 6 subordinate areas, the score of the quality of subjective life according to life environment was the lowest, 47.87, and the score of family and relative relations was the highest, 63.15.
Second, as the result of t-test and dispersion analysis, there is the difference of the level of subjective life in accordance with the existence or nonexistence of job, the income of family, the type of handicap. Searching concretely, the quality of subjective life of the disabled having a job is higher than the disabled not having a job, and the quality is the highest in the case of the income of family over 2 million Won(Korean currency) under 3 million Won. Also, the score of the internal disabled such as the kidney · the heart · colostomy · urostomy etc, was the lowest. As the result of regression analysis, controling the influence of the other variables, it appeared that the higher the income of family is, the higher the quality of subjective life of the disabled is. On the other hand, the quality of subjective life of the disabled has the difference according to the standard of handicap, the existence or nonexistence of job, the income of family. Especially, the income of family, in other words, the economic situation of the disabled was the most important factor.
