Sažetak
The topic of this research is the “Incijativa– Čuvajmo naš park (Initiative - Let’s protect our park)” which was created as a reaction of the local community to the official announcement of interventions in its environment. The announcement of the construction of a sacral building in the area of the only larger public green area in the city district of Trnje provoked resistance from the local community, which was articulated by the establishment of an independent civic initiative “Let’s protect our park”. The initiative sparked protests by citizens and successfully halted the construction of the church and the alternative plan, which included renovating the green area by setting up a children’s playground and sports and recreational facilities made of artificial materials. In this paper, we try to gain a deeper insight into the characteristics of this initiative, its course and results by analyzing the content of the media, more precisely the three main Croatian Internet sites (Index.hr, Jutarnji.hr and Večernji.hr). The analysis maps key actors and their relationships, diagnoses media-mediated attitudes of various actors about the observed intervention in public space and tries to determine whether there is a similarity of this initiative with some earlier initiatives of the local population in the city of Zagreb.
