Abstract
IN ENGLISH: Neighborhood satisfaction is one of dimensions of the quality of life. It is explored in relation to the perception of life satisfaction in urban areas, and regarded as an indicator of the quality of housing policies. Nowadays especially, the concept of life satisfaction includes ecological characteristics of the environment. This paper examines the ecological aspects of life satisfaction in large Croatian cities (Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, Osijek), and the ecological aspects of life satisfaction in large housing estates (LHE), built both in the socijalist and post-socialist periods. The research was conducted using mixed methodology; the questionnaire was applied on a sample of N=1,536 inhabitants, and focus groups were carried out with residents of socijalist and post-socialist housing estates. Th e results show that the residents of the cities and estates are most satisfied with natural resources, i.e. the quality of water and air, less satisfied with the level of noise, and least satisfied with the way waste is disposed and removed. In that regard, there are statistically signifi cant differences among cities, as well as estates, in relation to the period when they were built. Regarding the green infrastructure, previous research has shown that due to a lack of planning and the market conditions of post-socialist construction, the estates from this period have defi cient green areas. Furthermore, the residents of all estates think that the greening of the environment is a priority, due to climate change, but also for ensuring the quality of life in them. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Zadovoljstvo stanovanjem jedna je od dimenzija kvalitete života koja se ispituje u vezi s percepcijom zadovoljstva životom u urbanim područjima te se smatra indikatorom kvalitete stambenih politika. Koncept zadovoljstva životom danas pogotovo uključuje ekološke osobine okruženja. U ovom radu ispituju se ekološki aspekti zadovoljstva života u velikim gradovima Hrvatske (Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, Osijek) kao i ekološki aspekti zadovoljstva života u large housing estates (LHE) izgrađenima u socijalističkom i post-socijalističkom razdoblju. Istraživanje je provedeno mješovitom metodologijom; anketom na uzorku od N=1536 stanovnika te metodom fokusnih grupa sa stanarima iz socijalističkih i post-socijalističkih naselja. Rezultati pokazuju kako su stanovnici gradova i naselja najzadovoljniji prirodnim resursima odnosno kvalitetom vode i zraka, manje zadovoljni razinom buke, a najmanje zadovoljni načinom odlaganja i odvožnje otpada. U tom pogledu postoje značajne statističke razlike među gradovima kao i naseljima s obzirom na razdoblje izgradnje. Što se tiče zelene infrastrukture pokazuje se da su uslijed neplaniranja te tržišnih okolnosti izgradnje post-socijalistička naselja deficitarna zelenilom, a da stanovnici svih naselja smatraju kako je ozelenjavanje okoliša prioritet zbog klimatskih promjena ali i kvalitete života u njima.
