CITIZENS’ SATISFACTION WITH SELECTED ASPECTS OF URBAN LIFE
When looking at the development of civilization, it is worth assessing the quality of life of residents, but it should be noted that the concept of urban quality of life is not clearly defined in the literature, and measurements are carried out in various approaches. The aim of the paper is to assess the quality of life of the inhabitants of Szczecin and Koszalin by indicating their perceived level of satisfaction with selected areas and aspects of urban life. The article uses the results of own research conducted using the CATI and CAWI methods among 427 residents of Szczecin and Koszalin in 2021, as well as the literature on the subject. The data indicates that satisfaction levels of citizens of Szczecin and Koszalin are generally higher and more consistent in certain areas (green areas and safety) and lower with greater variability in others (e-office and attractiveness of real estate).
