Sažetak
This paper is topically related to the research project of the Institute for Social Research in
Zagreb "Sociological aspects of the settlements network in the context of transition" (2002 -
2005). In 2004 a field research was carried out as a part of it, and same of its resu Its will
be the theme of this paper. The said project referred to the sociological research of the
settlements network of the whole Croatia with a sample of 154 settlements of different
types. The settlements network is a system of urban and rural settlements that make together
a spatial and functional whole. The subject matter of the research is to examine the
quality of life in the settlements network, using as parameters the dwelling and the quality
of equipment of the households, the immediate surrounding ar neighborhood. The obtained
resuIts served to ascertain the existing quality of living in the settlements and a primary
and secondary level of the quality of equipment of the bousebolds in the settlements
network. As expected, the resu Its showed the best quality in the biggest cities, especially
Zagreb, and the worse in srna!! villages. In general, the existing hierarchic structure of the
network with Zagreb on top was confirmed. However, by using a detailed analysis, it can
be seen that the situation is much more complex. The resuIts for macro-regional and regional
centers are often better tha n for Zagreb, and for rural settlements than for urban,
but it depends on the examined criterion ar the element of quality of living, dwelling respectively.
