Quality of life is a multidimensional concept that combines different aspects of life and its quality, both tangible and intangible, objective and subjective, individual and collective. One of the key elements of quality of life is the availability and quality of public services, the spatial dimension of which is a crucial condition for increasing the quality of life of all citizens and for overcoming social exclusion and isolation. To measure the quality and availability of public services, a set of nine indicators was used, based on which rural municipalities in the Republic of Serbia were grouped. The OECD criterion was used to determine the rurality of the municipalities. Municipalities in the Republic of Serbia were divided into three groups using cluster analysis. The first cluster, the most numerous, includes the least developed municipalities. Twenty municipalities, the most developed according to three out of nine indicators, were grouped in the second cluster, while the six most populous municipalities of the Republic of Serbia were grouped in the third cluster.
