Summary/Abstract: The culture of social relations and social organization in developed societies, although traditional, represents a very wide complex of separate topics. Therefore, in this paper, I focus on key social relations and organizations, such as family and family relations, village organization, neighborhoods, and so on. The aim of the paper is to provide enough ethnographic data on the culture of the social organization in order to make an insight into the basic structural relations of the rural population of Tara. As a framework for systemic foundation of this work, the structure of a traditional rural society was taken into account, considering the processes of transformation during the second half of the 20th century. The work also included a cultural unification inherent in modern society, with an attempt to understand the specific integration of peasantry into the wider modern society of Serbia. Ethnographic data were derived from targeted ethnographic research, primarily carried out in villages within Tara National Park, as well as surrounding villages for comparison. Various data were cited from the literature.
