Social well-being as an indicator of the quality of life of residents of the Moscow region

Abstract

A social well-being is the main indicator of efficiency of social development of the Moscow Region and the quality of life of people living there. This article analyses a social well-being of residents of the region based on a sociological study conducted by MAGRAM Market Research in 2019.
Within the framework of this article a social well-being is defined through the concept of human satisfaction with various aspects of life and represents the evaluative judgments of a person against the place occupied in social space. A sociological aspect of the concept of “social well-being” is associated with a comprehensive study of satisfaction with the quality of life of an individual. “Quality of life” is considered as a complex characteristic of the living conditions of the population, which is expressed in subjective assessments of satisfaction with such areas of life as improvement of human settlements, the quality of services provided by the housing and communal services, as well as the road and transport infrastructure. These issues have a special relevance and practical significance for the residents of the Moscow Region, what determines the choice of the above-mentioned areas of urban economy as a priority for analysis.
