The objective of the hereby article is an attempt to provide an answer to a question regarding life quality (standard) of inhabitants in Polish subregional communities with particular emphasis on these which cover large urban units or areas of high population density in 2009. The analysis was performed by means of synthetic measure constructed on the basis of indicators collected in four aspects: 'Access to goods and services', 'Health and access to health care', 'Social problems' and 'Education and culture'. The analysis applies linear ordering methods (standardized sums method) and Mahalanobis distance in order to evaluate properties differentiation in particular classes.
A survey of conceptual, theoretical and methodological studies and apprehension of the quality of life. Following a brief historical review, the survey illustrates an integration model of the quality of life, which distinguishes between basal (universal), individual (civilizing) and elite (cultural-spiritual) quality of life; the meaning of life operates there as a systematic (universal) psycho-regulator of 'good' life. Up to now, the Slovak psychologists have not created a specific method of their own, they have adapted several methods from abroad, e.g. WHOQOL-BREF, Bern Questionnaire of Well-Being, Irish SEIQoL and others. Listed in the references are major specialized events (workshops and conferences) on the quality of life in the Slovak Republic in 1994 - 2006 as well as corresponding the grant research projects. The study concludes with the demands for plausible psychological research of the quality of life as the new paradigm for a positive psychology movement.
The article examines the issues of monitoring the quality of the region life quality, taking into consideration the limitations of the economic systems functioning. A structural and functional scheme of the life quality monitoring is proposed.
