Residents’ Perception of some Aspects of Quality of Life in the Cities of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: In five focus groups, organized in five major cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina residents gave answers on how they perceive some aspects of quality of life that would have to be improved by their municipal authorities. On this basis, we constructed a scale for measuring the quality of life in those areas which are under the local jurisdiction and in which local authorities can affect the quality of life of residents. Factor analysis extracted 7 factors of quality of life with which we can explain 71% variance, while individual factors explain 5-26% of common variance. Th e scale for measuring the quality of life was administered to 1503 respondents in 14 cities in B&H. It is found that there are significant differences in quality of life among certain municipalities, while the quality of life in the Republic of Srpska and Federation B&H is uniform.
