The Quality of Life and Social Capital in Post-industrial Peripheral Cities
Journal Title: Przegląd Socjologiczny - Year 2014, Vol 63, Issue 1
Abstract
This article presents the subjective dimension of the quality of life of the residents of five post-industrial cities located in Poland, Russia, Turkey, Lithuania and Hungary. The main goal is to determine the level of both the overall sense of well-being of the respondents and their satisfaction from particular areas of their lives. The analysis covers the relationships that exist between the level of the quality of life, the components of social capital in the cities under study, as well as the degree of their socio-economic development. The authors focus on the similarities and differences that exist between the cities with respect to the topics under discussion.
