Abstract

Pojam kvalitete svakodnevnoga života u nekom naselju obuhvaća prostorni i socijalni aspekt. Osnovna je osobina kvalitete života njegova cjelovitost, što znači da obuhvaća sve ono što sadrži svakodnevni život (nabava, zabava, rekreacija,...) Pretpostavka je da čovjek mora imati mogućnost sve aktivnosti svakodnevnoga života obaviti u blizini mjesta stanovanja, odnosno u svojem kvartu. Osim toga, javni prostor, odnosno javne zelene površine u naselju imaju važan utjecaj na kvalitetu života stanovnika. Njihova dostupnost omogućuje tjelesnu aktivnost, koja je starijem stanovništvu prijeko potrebna te otvara mogućnosti za socijalizaciju. Svaki je kvart, kao mikro jedinica grada, u očima svojih stanovnika jedinstven. Uz njega se vežu emocionalne vrijednosti te se prema njemu oblikuje tzv. „kvartovski identitet“. Ciljevi ovoga istraživanja bili su ispitati na koji se način stariji stanovnici Travnog koriste javnim zelenim površinama u svojem naselju te kako dostupnost zelenih površina u naselju utječe na percepciju kvalitete života starijega stanovništva Travnog. Rezultati su pokazali kako je stanovnicima vrlo važna dostupnost i kvaliteta zelenih površina u naselju te su potvrdili da to pozitivno utječe na kvalitetu života. Aktivnosti za koje se koriste zelenim površinama su boćanje, kartanje, igranje šaha te šetnje i druženja sa susjedima i prijateljima iz Travnog i okolnih naselja.

Abstract (english)

The notion of everyday life quality in any urban centre includes both the territorial and social aspect oft he urban settlement. The fundamental characteristic of the quality of life int he community is its integrity, wich means it encompasses all oft he aspects of everyday life (suppliespurchasement, leisure and recreation purposes, etc.). The essential presumption is that one should have the ability to participate in all oft he needed everyday life activities near his or her permanent residence, i.e. in the neighbourhood. Furthermore, public spaces, i.e., green areas, have the essential impact on the quality of life ot the residents living int he neighbourhood. The availability of such areas allows people to remain physically active, which is an imperative need, especially for elderly residents. However, in addition to that, they give the residents the ability to socialise with one another. Each neighbourhood, as a micro-unit of a city, is unigue int he eyes of its residents. People create certain emotiond towards the neighbourhood they live in, i.e. they create a so-called „neighbourhood identity“. This research aimed to see how the elderly residents ot the Travno neighbourhood situated in Novi Zagreb, actually use the public green areas and how do those areas influance on the qualitiy of their everyday life. The researche shows that the elderly residents use the public green space areas mostly for activities such as boccie, card-playing, paying chess as well as for going for walks or get-togethers with their friends either feom Travno od surrounding neighbourhoods.
