Sažetak
The article discloses partly the results of the research project „Opinions of Inhabitants of Ivanec region on potential radioactive waste repository sites in Republic of Slovenia“: the project has been realized within the Institute for Sociology of Faculty of Philosophy of Zagreb. The research has been made in June 1992, on the sample of 297 canvassed inhabitants of Ivanec region. The danger of the radioactive waste repository for the environment is analysed and their acceptability estimated, the opinions of the impact of such an object upon the development of local community disclosed.
The research project discusses the fact that the low-level and medium-level radioactive waste repository is considered to represent a highly dangerous object, therefore any later compensation does not seem to be the motif which would incite better acceptance of the fact. The repository is considered to be a threat to the habitual way of life of local community as well as to its developmental aspirations. It is supposed that, apart from the real danger the radioactive waste repository causes, the attitude has been brought out by the local authorities being inadequately and insufficiently included in decision making on the possible locations for the low-level and medium-level radioactive waste repository: the fact points to the need of different approach to the problems - the one respecting the social aspects of the problem as well.
