Abstract
In the article "Quality of Housing in the Republics of former Yugoslavia" the author presents the results of the research: "Social Structure and Quality of Life" realised in 1989/90. in Yugoslav republics and conducted by Consortium of Institutes for Social Sciences. The author deals with one particular element of quality of life-housing!
In her analysis she compares quality of housing in cities, capitals and villages. Quality of housing is composed of:narrow conditions (all about apartment or house), wide conditions (neighborhood conditions) and satisfaction of tenants with their housing situation.
The main results show drastic differences between cities and villages in favour of first ones. This differences are bigger than between republics themselves. Joint index of housing conditions shows that Slovenia and Vojvodina are in the best position while Kosovo and Monte Negro are in the worst situation. Croatia has surprisingly bad conditions taking into account it’s level of development. War destruction and migrations of refugees will make such situation even worse. The results confirm the hypothesis about uneven urbanisation in favour of the cities and neglecting villages.
