Sažetak
The paper analyses the social aspects of planning city
transport on the example of public opinion regarding these
two proposed Zagreb projects: the building of the under-
-and-above ground light railway (metro) and building of the
tunnel through Medvednica. Specially emphasised are the
planning of the transport system as a continuing process of
adjusting the transport infrastructure with the city, as well as
the role of the public as an important factor in contemporary
planning processes based on communication models and
the interactive approach. The paper underlines the
expectation that the criterion of acceptance or nonacceptance
of certain city projects in the eyes of the public is
formed based on assessing the projects both as
infrastructural improvements and symbolic projects which
confirm the metropolitan identity of the city. Based on results
of two surveys in which the examinees assessed the supposed
developmental consequences of the given projects, it was
indicated that the public's attitudes towards these new project
proposals are formed between the demands for economic
profit and demands for preserving the environment, while in
both cases the dominant criteria were the advantages for the
community in general and the metropolitan image of the city.
Factor structures were obtained indicating that the public's
expectations from the infrastructural projects were generally
connected with developmental advantages, but also with fear
from the risks these projects introduce into the city's
environment.
