Sažetak
Disembedding of social relations from a local context has often been pointed
out as one of the main characteristics of contemporary social changes. Taking that
as a starting point, this paper explored the role of neighborhood social relations in
contemporary Croatian society. The analysis presented in this paper had two aims.
The first aim was to get insight into structure of local social relations in Croatia and
the second one was to determine whether dynamics of local social relations are related
to some demographic, socioeconomic or spatial characteristics. Data analyzed
in this paper were collected through the survey entitled Pilar’s Barometer of Croatian
Society. The survey was conducted in the spring of 2014 on the national representative
sample of Croatian citizens aged 18 years and older (N=1000). Findings from the
analysis indicate that neighboring is a usual form of social interaction for majority of
the target population. Furthermore, analysis showed that the level of education and
the size both of settlements and buildings where respondents live are the most important
determinants of neighborhood social relations. In addition, the analysis revealed
that years of residence at the present address are particularly important for density of
neighborhood social relations.
