OUT OF HOME-PUBLIC SPACE OF TE INHABITANTS OF HOUSING PROJECTS IN SMALL TOWNS

Summary/Abstract: Public space is a space of interaction – meeting people (neighbours) – which within the spatial dimension is placed outside of home but within the limits of a given residential complex. When analysing it, I considered public space of the inhabitants of housing projects in small towns as a social structure of space, i.e. space of necessary, optional or social activities. I also used the division of public space into internal and external. Study results indicate that the inhabitants of housing projects in small towns maintain more neighbour-to- neighbour contacts than the inhabitants of large cities (e.g. Łódź) and the distance between the inhabitants is smaller. What was similar to Łódź, were the opinions of the inhabitants of small towns regarding the structure of space, i.e. the division into internal and external space.
