The brief data of the relation of living as commuters and quality of life

The dataset presented here is useful for identifying the relation of living as commuters and the quality of life. This dataset separates commuters into several groups according to their gender, marital status, educational background, and occupation to enrich the demography data and to give more insight. Data was collected from commuters who work in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Questionnaire-based survey with proportional random sampling has collected from 384 respondents by accidental sampling. We use statistic descriptive, median-test, Kruskal-Wallis, and spearman-rank correlation to analyze the data. The data shows there is any different response regarding the quality of life between gender, marital status, educational background, and occupation among commuters. The researchers found at least three dominant factors which make the differences, that is the time limitation for social interaction in the neighborhood, time limitation regarding quality interaction as parents, and time limitation for themselves to have quality time. However, the commuters have several reasons why they still survive in the situation. From ten factors proposed, there are only three factors which have significant relation with three dominant factors of commuters life problem which suggested previously. That is 1) Time Compliance with Income; 2) Income per Month, and 3) Fairness Travel Time to Work Location.
