This article deals with NUTS 2 regions quality of life (QL) evaluation for the
Visegrad Group in year 2015 developed by means of rules based methods. QL
evaluation is a phenomenon, topical issue, dealt with by a large number of institutions
and organizations. Approaches to QL evaluation however differ and there exists
a whole range of indicator sets and methodologies for QL evaluation. The evaluation
is based on Eurostat methodology for QL evaluation in this article. The QL evaluation
works with official indicators of this methodology and uses rule-based systems
methods: modification of Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal
Solution (TOPSIS) - fuzzy TOPSIS (fTOPSIS), fuzzy inference system (FIS) and Casebased
Reasoning (CBR) and with using pre-defined fuzzy sets (FSs). The objective
of this article is to create a model for QL evaluation based on utilization of the abovestated
methods, comparing results of the individual methods and the total results
of such QL evaluation. Another objective of this article is to achieve fairness
supported by this model – the results from this model shall serve as recommendations
for provision of subsidies for regional development including the definition for what
area such subsidy should be used.
