Abstract

The paper aims to present the results of surveys of students' opinions on the quality of municipal services available in Krakow and its changes during the Covid-19 pandemic. The analysis covered most basic municipal services, in particular water, heat, and public transport. Opinions on the public services were collected through surveys carried out twice, in 2019 and 2021, on a representative group of students of several major Cracow universities. The analysis revealed that, despite the challenges associated with the Covid-19 pandemic, the municipal services' general quality has not deteriorated.
