Abstract

IN ENGLISH: In Western and Northern Europe, post-war large housing estates (LHEs) stand out as areas of segregated and minority-populated housing, and have faced numerous attempts of reconstruction with the idea of social mixing. LHEs in Central and Eastern Europe had different developmental pathways. The heterogeneous structure of these estates has persisted until today, but due to the systematic neglect and aging, the estates are threatened by physical and social deterioration. The analysis is based on a survey conducted in Croatia in 2022 on two types of housing estates (socialist and post-socialist; N (Zagreb = 657). The results confirm that the social composition in both types of estates is mixed, with a predominance of middle-class residents and without pronounced social differences. The residential satisfaction is high, so the majority of residents are stayers. Nevertheless, certain regeneration policies should be adopted because the population of the socialist LHEs is aging, which could jeopardize the present heterogeneity and make maintenance of multifamily buildings more challenging, thus contributing to further deterioration of the estates. - --------------- IN CROATIAN: U zapadnoj i sjevernoj Europi velika stambena naselja iz razdoblja nakon Drugog svjetskog rata ističu se kao područja segregiranog stanovanja za manjinsku populaciju te su bila podvrgnuta brojnim pokušajima obnove u cilju ostvarivanja društvene mješovitosti. Velika stambena naselja u srednjoj i istočnoj Europi imala su drugačije razvojne putanje. Heterogena struktura tih naselja održala se do danas, no zbog sustavnog zanemarivanja i starenja ova su naselja ugrožena fizičkom i društvenom degradacijom. Analiza se temelji na istraživanju provedenom u Hrvatskoj 2022. godine na dvije vrste stambenih naselja (socijalističkim i postsocijalističkim; N (Zagreb = 657). Rezultati potvrđuju da je socijalna struktura u obje vrste naselja mješovita, naseljena su pretežno stanovnicima srednje klase i bez izraženih socijalnih razlika. Zadovoljstvo stanovanjem je visoko, tako da većina stanovnika želi ostati stanovati u trenutnom naselju (engl. stayers). Ipak, trebalo bi usvojiti određene politike za obnovu socijalističkih stambenih naselja jer im stanovništvo stari, što bi moglo ugroziti sadašnju heterogenost i otežati održavanje višestambenih zgrada, pridonoseći daljnjoj zapuštenosti naselja.
