A quality estimation apparatus acquires quality information including QoEs and quality index values collected on a user terminal in a wireless network environment; and classifies the QoEs and quality index values according to area attributes. The quality estimation apparatus constructs QoE estimation models according to the respective area attributes using the acquired QoEs and quality index values for the respective area attributes.
