Abstract

Grad je društvena konstrukcija, a dobrobit graĎana trebala bi biti na prvome mjestu. MeĎutim, nemaju svi akteri jednaku moć. Upravo graĎani koji u svom svakodnevnom ţivotu najviše osjećaju posljedice svih društvenih promjena i kretanja često imaju najmanju ulogu. Ekonomski razvoj i zarada nerijetko su vaţniji od kvalitete ţivota lokalnog stanovništva što se najbolje očituje na primjeru turizma koji se sve više razvija u gradu Zagrebu. Ovaj rad analizira pozitivne i negativne dimenzije kvalitete ţivota u centru grada Zagreba koji je najviše opterećen turističkim dogaĎanjima i manifestacijama. Analizira se i sam utjecaj turističke djelatnosti na svakodnevni ţivot graĎana te pitanje njihove participacije u odlukama koje se tiču njihove okoline. Analizirana je i simbolička slika grada i mapirana dogaĎanja u Zagrebu. Osim s dugogodišnjim stanovnicima i svakodnevnim korisnicima, intervjui su provedeni i s predstavnicima Gradskih četvrti i Mjesnih odbora, predstavnicima civilnog društva te stručnjacima s područja relevantnih za ovu temu. Izabrani stručnjaci istaknuli su potrebu za sustavnom revitalizacijom centra grada, rasterećenjem centra i formiranjem precizne strategije razvoja turizma. Razvojni ciljevi moraju promišljati o ekonomskoj, ekološkoj, ali i društvenoj odrţivosti – turizam bi trebao pomoći očuvanju resursa i pridonositi većoj kvaliteti ţivota lokalnog stanovništva.

Abstract (english)

The city is a social construct and the welfare of its citizens should be a priority. However, not all actors have the same amount of power. Citizens are the ones who are mostly affected by the consequences of all social changes and movements, yet often they have the smallest role in those processes. Profit and economic development are often more important than the quality of life of the local population, which is best seen in the example of the increasingly developing tourism in the City of Zagreb. This paper analyses the positive and negative dimensions of the quality of life in the Zagreb city centre, which is loaded with tourist attractions and events. Furthermore, it analyses the impact of tourism on the citizens’ everyday life as well as their participation in the decision making process which directly affects their surroundings. The symbolic image of the city was also analysed and the events in the city were mapped. Apart from permanent residents and everyday users, interviews were also conducted with representatives of the city districts and municipal boards, civil society representatives and experts relevant to this topic. Said experts emphasised the need to revitalise and unburden the city centre, but also create a clear tourism development strategy. Development goals should be set with economic, environmental and social sustainability in mind and tourism should help preserve the resources and improve the quality of life of the local population.
