The aim of research was to evaluate the quality of living conditions in selected prefabricated housing estates built in 1978–1986 in Lublin. The focus was on assessing how this built environment corresponds to current needs of the residents, and on setting priorities for rehabilitation measures in those areas. The method of collecting input was an opinion survey based on an original questionnaire, conducted in the form of direct interview. Statistical analysis of the questionnaires allowed the researcher to define a set of improvement measures most welcome by the residents. Interestingly, a considerable number of residents declared to participate in the rehabilitation projects by contributing their labor free of charge or by paying certain sums. The proposed way of asking residents on their view on the housing stock deficiencies provides a useful input for facility management plans. Surveys conducted periodically, as consecutive maintenance and improvement measures are taken, are argued to provide guidelines for improvement of studied estates. The proposed method of assessing the built environment can be used in planning rehabilitation projects for any type of housing estates.
