Sažetak
The subject matter of this paper is the analysis of the Croatian society's structural strata and of the changes occurring within them.
The analysis is founded upon the data collected from a representative
sample of the adult population of Croatia by means of the structured
questionnaire. The sample was constructed upon the results of the
census conducted in 2001 and the research was carried out in the mid
2004 as the part of the project Sociological aspects of the network of
settlements within the context of transition. The results giving foundation for the insight into the course of Croatia's integration in
contemporary processes influenced by globalization are being examined: the analysis is being made of the family, educational and
the newly established class structure, i.e. ownership structures,
occupations, working statuses and economic activity branches
(employment structures), Proportional sample of settlements within
which the data were collected enabled the distribution of characteristics mentioned above with regard to the type of settlement
to be particularly examined. The results of the research show
comprehensive social re-structuring but as far as the scope and the
degree of changes are concerned the characteristics researched are
greatly various. The analysis showed that family and educational
structures are highly resistant to changes within the process of the
post-socialist transformation while economic activity branches and
especially ownership structures are subject to greatest changes.
And also not all types of settlements are equally affected by
these changes. There is bigger or smaller systematic difference
between urban and rural settlements, and Zagreb differs from all the
other settlements by its characteristics. The author concludes that
hierarchically organized network of settlements comprises various
degrees of social density and, accordingly, various degrees of capacity for change.
