Abstrakty

Assessment of quality of life (QOL) has been recently subject to extensive research and discussion. According to many authors, QOL includes different aspects of life which implies its multidimensional character. The main aim of the paper is to provide assessment framework for the QOL dimension of material living conditions and to calculate integrated indices of material living conditions quality in the Visegrad Group (V4). We use Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) method to calculate partial and integrated indices in the V4 and analyse its development over the period of 2005–2013. Analysis of dynamics of material living indices point out differences and facilitate comparison between the V4. Analytical framework of material living conditions assessment can help to develop policy and management recommendations which improve material living conditions and consequently QOL.

Ocena jakości życia (QOL) została ostatnimi czasy przedmiotem rozległych badań i dyskusji. Zdaniem wielu autorów, QOL obejmuje różne aspekty życia, które zakładają jej wielowymiarowy charakter. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie ram oceny dla wymiaru QOL materialnych warunków życia i obliczenie wskaźników jakości materialnych warunków życia w Grupie Wyszehradzkiej (V4). Używamy addytywej metody oceny wskażników (ARAS), aby obliczyć wskaźniki cząstkowe i zintegrowane w V4 i przeanalizować jej rozwój w okresie 2005-2013. Analiza dynamiki indeksów materialnych warunków życia podkreśla różnice i ułatwia porównanie pomiędzy krajami V4. Analityczne ramy oceny materialnych warunków życia mogą przyczynić się do rozwoju polityki i zaleceń dotyczących zarządzania, które poprawią materialne warunki życia, a w konsekwencji jakość życia (QOL).
