Sažetak
In the article the author discusses some important aspects of the application of the idea of »social justice« in the research of social stratification in urban areas. The author discusses at the beginning basic notions such as stratification, differentiation, segregation, residential segregation, »-grey zone«, etc. The author uses two basic terms when discussing residential segregation — the notions of homogenization and heterogeneity. The data from the census taken in 1971. and 1981. show that a specific pattern of social segregation exists in Zagreb too. Strangely enough, segregation is not a concentrated, but »dispersed« one, which means that one would not find in Zagreb strong concentration of some social strata only in some parts of the city and the other strata in another parts. This pattern is rather strange and is not to be found in every urban setting. To show the real situation in a more clear way, the author chooses two basic pairs of municipalities of Zagreb when discussing the data — the »elite« and »periphery« ones. Concluding his paper, the author argues that the principles of »social justice« are to be applied with great difficulties when redistribution of wealth is involved and the subject and criteria of redistribution are unknowo.
