ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INCOME OF SENIOR CITIZENS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND SELECTED ASPECTS OF THEIR RESIDENCE

The objective of the entry is to analyze the relationship between income of senior citizens in the Czech Republic and selected aspects of their residence. The research sample consisted of senior citizens above the age of 65 selected via a quota selection in all regions of the Czech Republic (N=1173). The research was conducted via a questionnaire of the authors' design from which questions were analyzed focusing on the size of the municipality and the region, the amount of their own and their family's income, and subjective evaluation of this income, as well as selected aspects of the location in which the senior citizens reside (e.g. accessibility of transport, infrastructure, security, etc.). The results of the statistical testing showed that while the objective income does not correlate with the location's factors, the subjective evaluation of the income correlates with transport accessibility, neighborly relations, and the upkeep of the location. The smaller the municipality, the worse its accessibility was rated; however, the size of the municipality did not impact other factors. The region also impacted the subjective evaluation of the income, the transportation accessibility, the price of accommodations, and the reputation of the location.
