Summary/Abstract: Questionnaires are a popular tool in surveys assessing the value and availability of space. The correctness of survey results has to be analyzed during the statistical processing of questionnaire data. This study proposes a paired comparison method for evaluating natural and anthropogenic resources that support recreation planning in the region of Warmia and Mazury. The gathered data have been analyzed in view of the consistency coefficient of individual questionnaires and the coefficient of concordance determined for the entire group of experts. The proposed methodology relies on statistical formulas developed by Kendall. A list of key attributes for recreation planning in the analyzed area has been developed. Statistical methods were deployed to validate the analysis of consistency and concordance of questionnaire data.
