Abstract
The paper deals with the attitudes and opinions of the displaced
persons from the Croatian Danube basin regarding the
Plan of Peaceful Reintegration in relation to their personal characteristics,
intention to return, emotional attitude towards the place
of displacement and 'its characteristics, and experience of war
and displacement. The data were processed by the non-parametrical
contingency analysis and expressed in relative frequencies.
lt was determined that attitudes and opinions were, in a more or
less varied degree, statistically significantly correlated to all variables-
predictors. The highest correlation was observed between
some personal characteristics (education, age and nationality) and
criticism towards the Plan, and the lowest correlation was found
between experience of war and displacement and general opinion
of the Plan. The data confirm the Hocke's thesis that exclusively
humanitarian approach to the problem of displacement without defining
its political causes, proved to be inefficient.
