Poland’s membership in the European Union offers great opportunities to improve such infrastructure in rural areas. The aim of this paper is to present the causes for satisfaction and dissatisfaction of living conditions among inhabitants of rural areas. For comparative purposes, assumed evaluation encompassed the period of 2005–2013. The findings of the study demonstrated that Poland’s membership in the European Union results in increasingly poor social, technical and functional infrastructure. However, regardless of many deficiencies of both types of infrastructure, inhabitants of rural areas show high level of satisfaction concerning their place of residence. The basis for compiling this paper was analysis of subject-related literature and secondary source materials containing results of nationwide Polish empirical studies presented in research reports. Analysis of other source materials was also employed.}, type={Text}, title={Poziom zadowolenia mieszkańców wsi z życia na wsi w świetle badań empirycznych = Satisfaction level of rural inhabitants concerning place of residence in light of empirical research}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/59953/PDF/WA51_79423_r2016-t41_SOW-Sikora.pdf}, keywords={satisfaction, dissatisfaction, inhabitants of rural areas, opinions}, }
