Abstract
An exploratory analysis of relations between the overall life satisfaction, selected specific aspects of the life satisfaction, and size of settlements in Slovenia in a case study from 2015 is presented. Analyses of variance and discriminant analysis show weak differences between group averages of life satisfaction in groups defined on the basis of settlement size. However, regression trees method reveals the settlements size as an important life satisfaction factor in specific circumstances, and that overall life satisfaction prediction rules are different for “bigger” (>10.000 inhabitants) and “smaller” settlements (<10.000 inhabitants).
