Jakość życia najczęściej interpretowana jest jako stopień zaspokojenia materialnych oraz duchowych potrzeb człowieka. Kształtowana jest przez wiele czynników, z których za najważniejsze uważa się: sytuację mieszkaniową, bezpieczeństwo zatrudnienia, ochronę zdrowia i życia, możliwość uczenia się i podnoszenia kwalifikacji, dostęp do kultury, dostęp do placówek handlowych, stan infrastruktury technicznej czy stopień zaspokojenia indywidualnych potrzeb.Wieś, przechodząc zmiany związane z postępem cywilizacyjnym, powinna odejść od przypisanych jej w przeszłości stereotypów identyfikujących ją wyłącznie z produkcją rolniczą. Obecnie wieś, oprócz wytwarzania i dostarczania żywności, spełnia także wiele innych funkcji związanych z ochroną i kształtowaniem krajobrazu i bioróżnorodności, kształtowaniem gospodarki wodnej, zachowaniem wartości dziedzictwa kulturowego tych obszarów. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań ankietowych zrealizowanych w 2011 r. wśród mieszkańców obszarów wiejskich województwa podkarpackiego. Na subiektywne poczucie jakości życia mogą mieć wpływ takie czynniki jak płeć, wiek osoby, a także kontekst społeczny wynikający na przykład z turystycznego charakteru gminy lub jej położenia względem miast. Wyniki analizowano w podziale na gminy zlokalizowane w pobliżu miast, oddalone od miast oraz gminy o charakterze turystycznym. W gminach oddalonych od miast doceniano wartość rolniczej przestrzeni produkcyjnej oraz czystość środowiska naturalnego, w gminach zlokalizowanych w pobliżu miast zaś podkreślano jakość sieci dróg, sieci kanalizacyjnej i wodociągowej oraz wiejski rynek pracy. W gminach zlokalizowanych z dala od miast obserwowano mniej różnic w ocenie czynników środowiska, co może świadczyć o lokalnej jednolitości postrzegania świata. Słowa kluczowe: jakość życia, obszary wiejskie, czynniki środowiskowe 1. WSTĘP Jakość życia może być bardzo różnie postrzegana i interpretowana. Dla różnych grup społecznych jest ona związana z zaspokojeniem różnorodnych potrzeb materialnych, pewności i stabilizacji życiowej, rozrywki czy potrzeb duchowych. J. Rutkowski 3 do czynników wpływających na kształtowanie jakości życia zalicza:1. Czynniki subiektywne -ogólne zadowolenie z życia, oczekiwania, perspektywy na przyszłość, aspiracje.
The electricity sector in the 21st century should be associated with renewable energy sources (RES), which the majority of society currently equates with solar photovoltaics, wind power, and hydroelectricity, with this energy being used mainly in households. Households consume only 20% of energy, with the remainder used in various sectors of the national economy. In these sectors, the possibilities of using renewable energy sources should be sought. Many experts express the opinion that myths about renewable energy sources exist only “in our minds and opinions, that we formed years ago”, mainly under pressure from the decreasing number of supporters of conventional energy sources. Currently, we observe much greater possibilities of using renewable energy sources globally, and all forecasts suggest that—by 2050—the economy, transport, and industry may become almost emission-free and rely on RES. Of course, we cannot present renewable energy sources only in terms of superlatives, because they also involve many unknowns and myths which we will present in the article. Considering the complexity of factors influencing the involvement of young people in shaping the socio-economic reality, a group of people aged between 18 and 40 was selected for the study. The aim of this study was to identify the attitudes of young inhabitants of south-eastern Poland regarding the issues of climate change and renewable energy, and to identify the level of acceptance for changes in Poland’s energy mix. The conducted research shows that the studied group of people appreciated the importance of climate change and considered the anthropogenic impact on this phenomenon to be of key importance. The perception of renewable energy was positive, and respondents saw the solution to the problems of the energy deficit in increasing the use of renewable energy sources. Respondents also showed significant support for nuclear energy and expected government support programs for activities related to energy conservation. The survey shall be repeated on a random sample at the time when the energy price changes caused by the transformation of the energy mix occur—i.e., around 2025.

This paper focuses on the analysis of trends in the development of nuclear energy in selected European and non-European countries in the context of the pace of renewable energy development in the world. The perception of Poles related to their openness to various energy sources against the background of European trends was also examined, as well as their ecological approach to the quality of the environment in this context. The survey was carried out using the Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI) technique. The total number of correctly completed forms was 923. To identify the ecological attitude, purchasing attitude, and the perception of nuclear energy, the research tool contained a number of statements on the issues studied, and the respondents assessed compliance with their opinion using a seven-point bipolar scale. The semantic differential was also used to gather opinions on the characteristics of nuclear energy. This paper shows that global trends are promoting the development of unstable renewable energy sources and the reduction of the share of nuclear power plants as an energy source. It has also been shown that the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries are more skeptical about nuclear power than countries that do not belong to the OECD (for example, China and Africa).
The pandemic brought significant changes to the functioning of society. This article examines the opinion of consumers in south-eastern Poland on lifestyle elements such as shopping preferences, physical activity, holiday preferences and others, against the background of the COVID-19 situation. The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between selected components included in the lifestyle of society in the context of the COVID-19 emergency situation. The research was conducted from 9 November 2020 to 17 January 2021. In order to identify the respondents’ attitudes and their perception of the issues discussed in this study, a questionnaire was created containing a number of theses formulations assessed by the respondents in terms of compliance with their beliefs. The evaluation was carried out using a seven-point bipolar Likert scale with a neutral value. The study was not probabilistic, therefore the inference applies only to the studied group. A total of 737 questionnaires meeting the research assumptions were collected. The form was used to identify ecological attitudes, shopping behavior, food preferences, physical activity and tourist preferences in the COVID-19 situation in which the research was conducted. Also identified were holiday destinations in 2019 and 2020, preferred diet type, and socio-demographic background: sex, age, place of residence and approximate per capita income. The research revealed that the purchasing behavior of the respondents was a predictor of their physical activity and tourist preferences. Studies have also shown that the food preferences of the respondents are an important part of their balanced lifestyle and depend on the sex of the person. The respondents preferred an active lifestyle as a form of pro-health activity when living in the situation of COVID-19. During the COVID-19 pandemic, respondents’ interest in domestic tourism also increased.
