The two tables depicts the data about city residents’ opinions associated with a number of aspects of life in the two years, 1980 and 2010.
Overall, it can be seen that although shops, healthcare, transport system and accommodation improved their status among residents, the reverse was true for education and environment. Meanwhile, the most improved aspect of life was healthcare in the given period.
In 1980, 82% of respondents said that education was good, while 75%, 72% and 64% of people rated the shops, environment and healthcare as also being good, respectively. Meanwhile, only 54% and 56% of surveyed individuals said they were satisfied with the transport system and accommodation. They were, however, the two aspects having the greatest number of neutral opinions, 31% for the former and 34% for the latter. Regarding negative feedback, 14% of residents both thought the shops and transport system were bad, which was double the number for negative feedback about education, at a mere 6%.
Over the span of three decades, the data for all aspects considerably changed. In particularly, the opinions of healthcare services and shops were increased, to 83% and 81%, in turn holding the top ranks. Conversely, opinions regarding the environment and accommodation decreased, with the quantity of negative opinions climbing to 20% and 18% respectively, much higher than that of healthcare with at only 7%. Lastly, neutral opinions related to all aspects dropped significantly over the 30 years of period.
