Sažetak
In this paper the authors present the results of sociological
research, where they try to establish disco-club entertainment
as an interesting and completely unexplored social
phenomenon in Croatia. Methodologically and theoretically,
the authors made on effort to pull out the research of young
people's spare time from the context of functionalist-
-structuralist theories and from the already instrumentalized
theoretical typologies in sociology. Therefore, they created a
new research paradigm which united a quantitative and
qualitative approach towards the disco phenomenon. The
main purpose was to find an effective key for identifying
newly established transformations of young people's night
entertainment in seaside counties, where this research was
field located. Combining methods of survey and semistructured
interview, 1 502 young people were examined.
The results confirmed the hypothesis of specific transgression
of social order among young people who perceive order as something strange, which brings a manifestation of
sociability to night disco entertainment. This in turn becomes
more intensive and makes young people experience deeper
and more concrete group life and group belonging. In
conclusion, a more adequate social response is necessary in
order to cure cases of social pathology, especially various
aspects of drug addiction among young people, all with the
aim of improving social interactions with and among young
people and creating a social order and framework of legality
in these areas of social life. All this will bring about more
homogenous social development in segments related to
young people's leisure time, because it must not be neglected
that disco clubs manifest themselves as one of the most vital
aspects of night entertainment in this part of Croatia.
