Abstract

Kvaliteta života važan je pokazatelj razvijenosti društva, stoga je mjerenje i analiza iste od velike važnosti za planiranje daljnjeg razvoja. Relevantnost bavljenja kvalitetom života na hrvatskom selu proizlazi iz brojnosti seoskog stanovništva u Hrvatskoj. Ovaj rad bavi se upravo kvalitetom života i životnim zadovoljstvom, od teorijskog okvira da primjene u praksi, stavljajući ih u kontekst hrvatskog sela, a postojećim istraživanjima dodaje osobno iskustvo samih stanovnika sela dobiveno metodom intervjua. Rad koristi kombinaciju objektivnih i subjektivnih pokazatelja kvalitete života, analizirajući infrastrukturnu opremljenost sela i subjektivne dojmove stanovnika. Područje interesa ovog rada je Zagrebačka županija zbog svojeg posebnog statusa u odnosu na ostatak Hrvatske, odnosno sela u okolici jednog grada ove županije – Velike Gorice. Za istraživanje su odabrana četiri sela i u svakom su provedena dva polustrukturirana intervjua. Kvalitativnom analizom uspoređeni su rezultati intervjua s objektivnim pokazateljima kvalitete života u odabranim selima. Usprkos blizini Zagreba i Velike Gorice, odabrana sela infrastrukturno su slabo opremljena, što je vidljivo i u intervjuima sa stanovnicima sela. Jedno od sela ima zaseban status općine koji je utjecao na kvalitetu života u selu i posljedično na zadovoljstvo stanovnika, što govori mnogo o ulozi lokalne samouprave na razvoj hrvatskog sela. Nalazi rada ističu važnost korištenja subjektivnih i objektivnih pokazatelja u bavljenju temom kvalitete života, ali i važnost bavljenja hrvatskim selom koje se administrativno briše iz hrvatskog društva. Struktura i uloga sela su se promijenile, ali selo je i dalje značajni dio hrvatskog društva i iskustva njegovih stanovnika iskustva su stanovnika Hrvatske.

Abstract (english)

Quality of life is an important indicator of development, which is why the study of this indicator is important for the future development. The relevance of this topic in the context of the Croatian village comes from the percentage of the population living in the rural areas of Croatia. This paper deals with quality of life and life satisfaction, from theory to application, placing them in the context of the Croatian village and adding to the existing research the personal experience and attitudes of the rural population acquired via interviews. The paper combines the objective and the subjective indicators of the quality of life, analysing the local infrastructure and comparing it to the subjective opinions of the locals. The target area for this research is the Zagreb County due to its specific features compared to the rest of the country, more specifically the villages near one of the towns in this county – Velika Gorica. Four villages were chosen for the study and two semi-structured interviews conducted in each of the villages. The results of the interviews were compared qualitatively to objective indicators of quality of life for those villages. Despite the proximity of Zagreb and Velika Gorica, the villages of this study have lacking infrastructure, which also comes up in the interviews with the residents. One of the villages in the study has the title of a county which did influence the quality of life in the village and consequently the residents’ life satisfaction. This speaks volumes on the importance of the local government for the development of the villages in Croatia. The results of the study highlight the importance of analysing both objective and subjective indicators of the quality of life, but also the importance of research on the Croatian village which is disappearing from the national statistics and the Croatian society as well. Even though the structure and the role of the Croatian village has changed, the village is still an integral part of the Croatian society and the experiences of its residents are the experiences of Croatian residents.
