Abstract
The prerequisite of any scientific work is a catalogization and systematization of features which are investigated. Any scientific research projects begin with the catalogization of different aspects of reality which are relevant for the research. This will give the preliminary sketch of the real frameworks of the problem. But, the author points out that any logical typology has to be in strong connection with the characteristics of the real world which is under process of systematization so the division between the logical and empirical typologies is an arbitrary one.
Using some examples from sociological works (Merton, Đurić, Obradović and the others) the author, explains the difficulties in the construction of a typology for one empirical research of the housing situation in Zagreb.
