Abstract

The issue of quality of life is an interdisciplinary issue. Non-economic and economic factors influence its level. The aim of the study is a subjective assessment of the quality of life for residents of the border commune of Hanna and to assess the impact of investment in the commune on its level.

The article attempts to answer the following question. What types of investment affect the quality of life of residents to the greatest extent? In order to achieve these objectives, surveys were conducted for the period January – April 2014. The samples for the research were not made by randomised choice, but instead used the snowball method. The results indicated that the subjective assessment of the quality of life for residents is high. It can be said that in the opinion of the respondents, quality of life has not changed significantly over the past five years. Respondents recognize the affect that the important role of the commune’s activities has on the quality of life of households; particularly investments from EU funds.
