Material and desire in people continuing to pursue a happy life on the road,changing people’s values, the analysis of the psychological point of view allows us tosee some impact on the presence of well-being factors, however, with the changingsocial environment, impact factors are alsoconstantly changing. In recent years, somecities continue to appear the system of happy framework, and then how to build aneffective happiness system is an imperative of the practical problems.The paper outlines the development of happiness research at home and abroad.From research theory to research methods,abroad are being perfected,however,thecountry only in the initial stage of development. Complex and special social contextof a specific research area be able to find specific local happy influencing factors,which is valuable for the study area of social harmony,and happiness research ismeaningful.This paper reviews the development of welfare theory, the capabilities approachis a new development of the welfare theory; found happiness factors affectingprogress in the theory of subjective well, these same variables also affect happiness.In most studies, the happiness paradox has been confirmed; hedonic adaptation andsocial comparison, making sense of happiness to become complicated, whether theyhave an impact in the scope of our research has yet to be confirmed.The third section describes the capabilities approach, the capabilities approach isa good way for people learn how to get free. According to Sen capabilities approach,functional measurement has been achieved the level of benefits; the ability to measurethe potential or feasible level of welfare. In order to provide new ideas for welfaremeasurement, Sen proposed welfare measurement in the space of features andcapabilities, from two aspects of the features and capabilities to measure welfare.Space of happiness through the set of capabilities, easy to look directly at the happyrealization of the process, provide a platform for the happiness of factors.In the empirical part of Chapter IV,capacity and function of decoupling selectthe happiness of the residents of Zhangye Prefecture, work, health, education, socialrelations, the environment and personal career these types of "goods" for thedecomposition of the features and functions, through analysis,rural residents than urban residents are not satisfied with education, but the satisfaction of social relations;urban residents satisfied with the education, but are not satisfied with the livingenvironment and career achievement.Based on capability method described in Chapter III, the Chapter selected as theresearch area of Zhangye City, by the ability of methods and structural equationmodeling in the design of the questionnaire, on the basis of the survey data toconstruct the structural equation model, the design19observed variables (indicators)as well as seven latent variable (factor), the income of the personal characteristics andqualifications as the reason latent variable, individual functions (realized) that theliving environment, family status, social relations, health engaged in work as a resultof latentvariable, due to the different personal characteristics of individual educationand income decisions, resulting in differences of individuals to achieve thefunctionality.
