Sažetak
An empirical research has been conducted (autumn 1994) on a sample of 682 respondents, representatives of various socioprofessional groups, in Osijek, Rijeka, Split and Zagreb. Research focused on the situation "in the field" of politics, economy, science and technology, environmental protection, quality of living, education, culture and arts, and international relations.
Over 50% of respondents think that the situation in the regions mentioned would be "better" or "considerably better" in next ten years. This kind of situation is expected more by men, believers, those who sympathize with some political party, those with living standards "above average" and "much better" than that of others, examinees of age "46–55", as well as government agrencies officials, and those working in science and education institutions.
Between 19% and 36% of examinees, depending on the "region", think that this situation would not change. Regarding the future state of environment, no difference have been established among respondents accepting different development models ("market", "etatistic" or "social–market"). Although, those who accept market model expect that future situation in environmental protection will become even worse.
Most of the respondents perceive nowadays environmnetal problems as very serious. While respondents express pessimism regarding the enviromnetal protection improvement in next ten years, they also express optimism regarding general development of Croatia.
