A research into subjective people's ideas on the environment surrounding them, attitudes towards this environment and spatial preferences are dealt by behavioural geography. Spatial perception (like other types of perception) is a complex cognition process taking place under the influence of natural and cultural stimuli. Spatial configuration of human activities results from an activity (behaviour) of many individuals. Therefore, a key to the explanation of spatial configuration is learning what decisions lead to particular activities of individuals. In this work a try has been made to recognize ideas and evaluations of the city inhabitants on a housing function in Szczecin. The following research issues have been brought up: the reconstruction of the Szczecin inhabitants' opinions concerning the placement of a housing function in the city, the next issue has been the reconstruction of the perception of living standards and of the infrastructure in the housing regions of Szczecin, as well as the determination of an evaluative aspect of ideas on urban space in Szczecin and of factors which mould these ideas. The presented study of ideas on urban space in Szczecin represented by its young inhabitants, gives an idea about the social perception how the city space is organised. The Szczecin inhabitants considered Śródmieście and Słoneczne quarters to be the largest housing clusters. It is interesting how the quarters which seem to have performed so different functions, are evaluated: Słoneczne is an area of apartment housing with a living function mainly, and also an added service function. Śródmieście, on the other hand, is a structure being intensively transformed into a so called "functional city centre", that is an area of service concentration and with a diminishing living function. The split of the city into the Left Bank and the Right Bank has influenced the perception of the city by the surveyed; clear domination of the Left Bank zone is noticeable, however, the Right Bank has Been recognized as a kind of a "satellite-city" (a lot of living and service housing). The attractiveness of quarters depends to a large extent on communication accessibility, a lot of greenery, places for recreation and on safety. While spatial planning, one should pay more attention to taking advantage of greenery as a natural barrier which could limit negative effect of bothersome influence of communication and industry functions (noise, pollution). The need for making use of greenery in this way, is often expressed by young people.
