Sažetak
The paper aims to explore the relation between the concept of housing communities developed
within designing and planning practices of residential settlements in the period of
dominance of collective values and structures in Belgrade, and spatial practices of their actual
users. Thereby it seeks to achieve the reaffirmation of the notion of neighborhood, which
was not explicitly recognized in the dominant concept of housing communities and planning
of large residential settlements in socialism. In the introductory part, the concept of housing
dwellings is defined and then the concept of neighborhood, developed within social sciences.
The initial assumption of the analysis is that respecting the principle of territorial gradient in
the observed residential ensembles provides the basis for the development of neighborhood
as communities of individual persons. In the central part of the analysis, the idea of neighborhood
is brought into connection with the production of space, especially with the term spatial
practices. Afterwards, based on specific examples of spatial practices in the settlements set
up during socialism, residents’ activities are shown. They generate cooperation and cohesion,
creativity in use of mutual resources, which is the positive effect of spatial structures and their
quality. The planning and design of such settlements confirm that they generate neighborly
relations in smaller units. It is only to be expected that residents should jointly take care of
common rooms in their buildings or corresponding land plots as well as maintain space of
common interest for both public and civil sector. In order to reaffirm the neighborhood and
the resulting spatial practices which are an important element of the production of space,
some suggestions are offered in the domain of planning and designing.
