Discrimination of Inhabitant Satisfaction with the Public Infrastructure Between Region and Various Income Groups in Punjab, Pakistan

Abstract

In the prevailing circumstances, an analysis of residents’ satisfaction with the quality of public infrastructure is essential in determining the degree of contentment of society. The aim of this study is to determine the degree of serenity of the inhabitant with the different public infrastructure provided for their use. This assessment is based on different regional and income classes in the province of Punjab, Pakistan. The stratified random sampling technique is used to explain such regional economic segregation by selecting 14 out of 36 districts in Punjab, Pakistan. A total of 1500 people from large, medium and small districts are interviewed. Multinomial logistic regression and study of the Chi-square tests were adopted. We see that the satisfaction of the population with the facilities (education, health, electricity, transport, water and sanitation) varies considerably within the region and the income classes. The government must therefore adopt a realistic strategy for balanced growth between the various regions and implement a labor-intensive project in small districts.
