The article presents the proposal of the measurement scale of subjective quality of life of the inhabitants living in cross-border regions. In the design of the measurement tool the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used. The exploratory analysis was based on principal components analysis with VARIMAX rotation. In the evaluation of the model fitting the method that was used is the estimation one which combines thegeneralized least squares method with the maximum likelihood method. Three potential factor models differing in the number of subscales were analysed. The article includes the results of the survey conducted in 2012 within the Polish-German project: “The quality of life in the border area – strengthening of cross-border flows for the common sustainable development and regional planning”.
