The public is satisfied with the quality of life, but there is concern about housing, the health system and safety
In the latest EITB Focus survey, citizens rate the quality of life in the ACV at 7.6 and in Navarre at 7.5. Housing is the main concern in most municipalities.
The Basque people value the quality of life in Hego Euskal Herriaand give it a high rating, 7.6 in the ACV and 7.5 in Navarre. However, housing, the health system and safety have become a source of concern for the citizens. According to the latest EITB Focus survey, housing is by far the issue that should be dealt with primarily by the administrations, although there are significant differences depending on the municipality.
With regard to the satisfaction of the quality of life of the environment, there are no major differences between age groups, but in the case of the CSC the younger population is slightly better valued (7.72) than the average.
The study also asks about the issues that should be prioritised by the administrations, both at the municipal level and at the territorial level and at the Basque Country level, where one thirdof the respondents mention housing; 19-24% (depending on the area of management), the health system; and 14-16%, public safety.
In this section of the study, however, there are significant differences between municipalities: the housing problem is particularly evident in Donostia-San Sebastián (49.7 per cent), Tolosa (41.2 per cent) and Amurrio (36.6 per cent), while the health system appears as a priority issue in Agurain (48.3 per cent) and Pamplona (31.8 per cent).
The survey, which will be available from this Friday, includes extensive analysis of both these and other topics (artificial intelligence, industry...).
In addition, EITB Focus devotes a section to analysingthe social mood of the population, 68% of the respondents say that the social climate in the ACV and Navarre is "very or quite calm", while 35.9% of the population say that there are issues that they avoid in public because they avoid criticism, opinion or conflict.
With regard to the overall situation in the ACV and Navarre, 78 per cent of respondents consider the situation to be "good or very good", 9.9 per cent to be "bad or very bad", 55 per cent of the population to be good and 4.1 per cent to be "very good", 20.2 per cent to be "mediocre" and 19 per cent to be "bad or very bad".
