Sažetak
The article deals with some aspects of life in the city-republic of Dubrovnik (Ragusa) with the way the governing patricians dealt with problems confronting them and with explanations and justifications they gave for their actions and attitudes.
After a brief introduction, the first portion of the article is concerned with the way the workers were paid and their salaries protected. The second part deals with the attitude of the Ragusan government towards the poor and with some actions taken to alleviate their situation. Children, governmental and private attitudes towards them and ways in which they were protected are the subject of the third portion of the article, while the old people, their problems and government’s actions to help them are the topic of the fourth section. Finally, the fifth part of the article deals with problems connected with the functioning of the administration in the Republic of Dubrovnik, the abuses and deficiencies within the state "bureaucracy” and the measures the government took to try to cope with those difficulties.
The article ends with a brief conclusion, underlying the need for further study which might contribute to a better knowledge of daily life and problems in an urban environment, such as Dubrovnik.
