Komunikácia a priestor (Na príklade mestského sídliska)
Communication and Space (On the Example of the Housing Estate)

Summary/Abstract: The main task of the paper is the relationship between the space in urban – architecture meaning and social communication, social processes. This problem is resolved at a housing estate, which is specific urban place with mostly residential function, absent of typical street, a lot of dwelling houses etc. The author choosed for his ethnological research concrete smaller part - neighbourhood of Petržalka which he named T. Residents of T are visibly more participative and active in citizens life than those who live in another parts of housing estate. The first author promise was due to specific urbanism (evidently delimited neighbourhood, a lot of green places, majority of low-storied dwellings etc.), but research exposed that the main factor is age of the part. Meetings and contacts during thirty years period of existing T, almost half in „age of limited mobility“ (thanks to communist regime), brought more intensive social networks. The reason of urbanism seems to be secondary. Another characteristics (social structure etc.) are not specific for the T. Though this assignment is valid for the neighbourhood, generally can be told that the meaning of human factor (e.g. local leader) is most important for quality of social communication. Author evidence it by another small reasearch in high-storied dwelling. This statetement is very important for local development, in which the encourage of human resources should be the right way.
