The Structure of Relations among Neighbours in Croatia
The Structure of Relations among Neighbours in Croatia

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses a study carried out by Croatian researchers from the Ivo Pilar Institute of Social Sciences. The research applied the method of face-toface interviews and was conducted between March and May 2014. Its goal was to investigate the structure of local social relations by exploring the frequency and density of interactions between neighbours. The obtained data were analysed according to the demographic and socioeconomic background of the respondents. The article includes a short introduction into the issue of neighbourhood patterns in Croatia, which is described in the context of broader, global changes. After reviewing the research theoretical and methodological assumptions, I present and discuss its findings. The summary suggests some problems and inspirations for further exploration in the matter of neighbourhood relations.
