The satisfaction of living of the aged in the city of Baia Mare is determined to a great extent by its objective quality.This hypothesis will be tested by association two aggregate indies: the first, that of satisfaction with the dwelling, and the second, the aggregate index of living (both indices result from the agregation of he values of some simple indices of the satisfaction of living, as well as of the living conditions, surfaces, equipment, the overale quality of the building). The bigger the value of the index of the obiective quality of living is, the bigger the satisfaction with the living conditions will get.
