Location of the point beneath diagonal line means that importance of the matter is more valid than satisfaction level. In turn, when points are located above the line represents situation when satisfaction is higher than importance of the matters. The greater distance between the points and the line, the discrepancy between satisfaction and importance ranks. Horizontal location of the points indicates the level of importance of the matter, therefore the larger shift to the right of the point, the more priority is given to this matter. On the other hand, vertical location of the point indicates the level of satisfaction: the higher location, the more contented respondents. On this basis it can be concluded about the priorities of the activities of municipality authorities. The lower and more to the right is located a selected point, the more urgent actions are required. But if it is high located on the chart and the same time is shifted to the left, it means that the case is not a priority, while the respondents are satisfied with it. 5,0 3 4 Satisfaction 4,0 2 3,0 1 5 2,0 1,0 1,0 2,0 3,0 4,0 5,0 Importance Chart 1: Example of a diagonal graph Scaling Scaling satisfaction (axis Y) and importance (axis X) ranks is analogous to the scales used in the questionnaire: in all cases from 1 to 5. But since the most of average ratings have been placed very close to each other so that it was difficult to spot differences in the chart, the chart scales were shortened and start from 2,5. Projekt realizowany przy wsparciu Szwajcarii w ramach szwajcarskiego programu współpracy z nowymi krajami członkowskimi Unii Europejskiej p. 5 1.2 Histograms The interpretation of histograms is as follows: Histograms show entirely the degree of the respondent’s satisfaction of the issues placed in the questions of the questionnaire. Their height represents the average amount of ratings on a scale of 1 to 5. Green columns show results from Lublin and blue columns show results from St. Gallen. Because in St. Gallen not all the questions from Lublin questionnaire have been applied, not everywhere it was possible to make comparisons. 4,8 5 4,5 4,5 4 3,0 3 Lublin 2,7 2,5 St.Gallen 2 1,5 1 Question 1.1 Question 1.2 Question 1.3 Question 1.4 Question 1.5 Graph 2: Example of a histogram Projekt realizowany przy wsparciu Szwajcarii w ramach szwajcarskiego programu współpracy z nowymi krajami członkowskimi Unii Europejskiej p. 6 2 Report Introduction Lublin City Hall in cooperation with St. Gallen Municipality and Institute for Quality Management and Business from University of Applied Science in St. Gallen (IQB-FHS) conducted a survey of inhabitants in November and December 2013.

Overall, there were conducted 29 surveys using this method. For field studied a few questions (6 to 14) were formulated on matters focusing attention of municipal authorities and city inhabitants. The respondents were asked to express their views on these subjects in terms of two criteria: degree of satisfaction and importance. They used the rank scale proposed in the questionnaire, which was then converted into points (1 to 5). Based on this responses arithmetic means were calculated for each question and the entire fields. In addition, the respondents had the opportunity to formulate their own opinions on various topics.

Projekt realizowany przy wsparciu Szwajcarii w ramach szwajcarskiego programu współpracy z nowymi krajami członkowskimi Unii Europejskiej p. 7 The survey sample. Initially it was assumed sample size on 1,000 respondents. On the basis of official data on the number of inhabitants in particular districts of the city the proportions of respondents from every district were established. In order to all ages of inhabitants counting 18 and more years were proportionally represented, age distribution of the inhabitants was also taken into account in the sample. As an additional criterion of the sample sex of inhabitant was adopted, establishing that half of the respondents would were male and half female. During the survey it was found that some districts are overrepresented and others underrepresented. In order to reduce these disparities the sample was supplemented by the necessary number of respondents in some districts. As a result, 1,058 respondents aged 18 and older from every district of Lublin were interviewed.
