Problems Connected With Return of Refugees and Displaced Persons
Ines Varšek
Abstract
War does not only bring suffering and destruction, but also a great deal of problems as a consequence of it. Mass migrations of refugees and displaced persons emerged from the Croatian and Bosnian & Hercegovinian areas that have been struck by war. According to the facts given by these people, Mr. Mesiæ and his collaborators tried to
develop a sophisticated typology of refugees and displaced persons. Socio-psychological elements of such typology enable us to distinguish people by their war experience and views of return. The reaserch of Mr. Mesiæ and his colloborators, together eith other studies, have shown that the return of these people depend on their age, education, occupation, place of living etc. These findings correspond (when compared) with the real picture of returns because some people – the younger ones, more educated, or those who live in the city - are likely to return in smaller quantity. Such people require not only material support, but also sociopsyhological help.
