The article presents the subjective opinion of the inhabitants of the South Bohemian Region on the development of their region, as well as the satisfaction of the municipalities of the South Bohemian Region with their place of residence and with the municipal life. The outputs are based on the questionnaire survey which was implemented on a representative sample of 700 inhabitants of municipalities of different size and character in the South Bohemian Region. The data were statistically processed in the SPSS program in relation to the size of the municipality and to other selected sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents through the chi-square test and t-test analysis at a 95% level of significance. The following outputs were found. The tested sociodemographic variables had no significant relation with the satisfaction with the life in any given municipality: gender (p=0.520), education (p=0.509), and socioeconomic status (p=0.340). 44.8 % respondents assess the situation in their municipality as an average situation; only 19.2 % state that the situation is good. 20.8 % respondents plan to move house; 13.5 % in the course of the current year. The respondents most frequently plan to settle in their current district. 51.2 % respondents believe that their municipality develops; 47.5 % see the differences between municipalities of the Czech Republic as significant. 38.9 % believe that the people in their municipality live like people in other Czech municipalities; 26.3 % believe that they live better, which is related to their answer to the next question - the respondents most frequently state that their municipality has developed equally well or better in recent ten years, as compared to other similar municipalities. Nevertheless, the prospects are more conservative; about one half of the respondents believe that the municipality development will stop and stagnate.
