Abstract

Kvaliteta ţivota multidimenzionalan je koncept koji obuhvaća niz različitih pokazatelja. Alternativni pokazatelji kvalitete ţivota nove su mjere društvenog napretka koje zamjenjuju tradicionalni BDP za koji je otkriveno jako puno nedostataka. BDP mjeri samo ekonomski napredak drţave, a zaboravlja promjene u prirodnim, društvenim i ljudskim komponentama zajednice. Među najpoznatijim su alternativnim pokazateljima Indeks ljudskog razvoja, Indeks sretnog planeta, Ekološki otisak, Indeks socijalnog progresa, Legatumov indeks prosperiteta, ali i još mnogi drugi. Ove mjere kombiniraju objektivne i subjektivne pokazatelje pa zato daju detaljniji prikaz nekog društva. Cilj ovog rada bio je istraţiti poloţaj Hrvatske u odnosu na druge drţave Europske unije prema odabranim alternativnim pokazateljima kvalitete ţivota. Prema većini pokazatelja Hrvatska ne ostvaruje visoke rezultate jer još u mnogo područja ima prostora za napredak. Kvaliteta ţivota se moţe poboljšati ako se učestalo prati, analizira stanje i koriste primjeri dobre prakse. Smjernice za poboljšanje kvalitete ţivota predstavljene su u zadnjem dijelu rada.

Abstract (english)

Quality of life is a multidimensional concept that encompasses variety of indicators. Alternative indicators of quality of life are new measures of social progress that replace the traditional GDP for which many disadvantages have been discovered. GDP reflects only the economic progress of the state, forgetting the changes in the natural, social and human components of the community. Among the most known alternative indicators are the Human Development Index, Happy Planet Index, Ecological Footprint, Social Progress Index, Legatum prosperity index and many others. These measures combine objective and subjective indicators and for that reason give a more detailed view of a society. The aim of this paper was to investigate the position of Croatia in relation to other EU member states for selected alternative life quality indicators. Croatia, according to most indicators, does not achieve high results because there is still room for progress in many areas. Quality of life can be improved if it is frequently monitored, analyzed by good practice and good practice. Guidelines for improving the quality of life are presented in the last part of the paper.
