Quality of Life in Town of Split - Objective and Subjective Aspects

Tijekom veljače, ožujka i travnja 2018. godine na uzorku od 160 građana, provedeno je sociološko istraživanje stavova, mišljenja i percepcija stanovnika kotara Mejaši i Lovret o kvaliteti življenja u gradu Splitu. Cilj istraživanja bio je prikazati kvalitetu životnog prostora grada Splita pomoću objektivnih i subjektivnih pokazatelja. Objektivni pokazatelji korišteni su za analizu područja grada Splita i okolice, a subjektivni za analizu odabranih gradskih kotareva. Putem subjektivne procjene četiri glavne domene kvalitete življenja (trenutna životna situacija ispitanika, pitanja o zadovoljstvu stanovanjem u kućanstvu i kotaru i zadovoljstvo elementima kvalitete življenja u Splitu) stvorena je opća slika kvalitete življenja ispitanika. Istraživački rezultati pokazuju da se građani Splita ističu visokim razinama zadovoljstva u čak trima domenama: trenutna životna situacija ispitanika te zadovoljstvo stanovanjem u kućanstvu i kotaru. Iako su generalno zadovoljni što žive u gradu Splitu, građani su svjesni društvenih, urbanih i političkih problema grada koji vape za skorim rješavanjem. Domene kojima su ispitanici u pojedinom kotaru prosječno najmanje zadovoljni aspekti su kojima bi se trebala posvetiti posebna pozornost s ciljem poboljšanja kvalitete življenja.During February, March and April 2018, on a sample of 160 citizens, sociological research was conducted on the attitudes, opinions and perceptions of inhabitants of districts Mejaši and Lovret about the quality of life in the city of Split. The aim of the research was to show the quality of the living space of the city of Split with objective and subjective indicators. Objective indicators were used for analysis of the area of Split and its surroundings, and subjective for the analysis of selected city districts. Through the subjective assessment of the four main domains of quality of life (current lifestyle situation of respondents, questions about satisfaction of housing in the household and district and satisfaction with the elements of quality of living in Split), a general picture of the quality of life of respondents was created. Research results show that Split citizens point out high levels of satisfaction in even three domains: the current situation of the respondent and the satisfaction with housing in the household and district. Although they are generally happy living in the city of Split, citizens are aware of the social, urban and political problems of the city that are struggling to solve the problem. The domains to which the respondents in an individual district are on the average least satisfied with the aspects that should be given special attention with the aim of improving the quality of life
