The paper deals with maintenance and management problems in multi-family buildings in Zagreb and other Croatian cities from the perspective of co-owners’ representatives. After 1990, when there was ...intensive privatization of housing, the responsibility for the maintenance of the housing stock shifted to private owners and management companies. Apartment owners have been given the obligation to maintain multi-family buildings and have faced problems and challenges in maintaining and managing common property. The empirical research was conducted on a convenience sample of co-owners' representatives (
N
= 353) using the survey method. The results are analysed according to three construction periods of multi-family buildings: built before 1945, during the socialist period (from 1945 to 1990) and the post-socialist period (after 1991). The results show that in all three construction periods there are certain bigger or smaller shortcomings regarding the building quality, and then the maintenance. The paper concludes that insufficient financial and organisational resources, insufficient engagement of managers, inadequate collaboration between representatives and managers, and weak energy renovation of multi-family buildings are some of the most important problems faced by co-owners’ representatives.
There are still relatively few studies on job satisfaction and the quality of work among sex workers, partly due to the ideologies surrounding sex work. In this paper we move away from dichotomous ...thinking and investigate the professional experiences of indoor independent sex workers in Croatia against the background of criminalised context and gendered socio-economic realities. We look into sex workers’ motivations, perceptions and experiences, their control and safety strategies. The study shows that despite many structural constraints on the sex workers’ agency, all participants exercise some degree of autonomy and control over their working lives. The factors that seem to be the most relevant in terms of their ability to set up their own conditions, which in turn influences their experiences, are their economic situation, motivation and self-perception. Negative experiences mostly stem from criminalisation and stigmatisation of sex work, which affects women primarily, and creates more risks to their health and safety. The results of the study call for integrative policy approaches, which presuppose full decriminalisation of adult voluntary sex work.
This paper presents the results of a research on the problems and challenges of post-earthquake renovation in the inner city center of Zagreb, where mostly older, historical buildings are situated, ...which were severely damaged in the 2020 earthquake. Almost two years after the earthquake, political actors have not been able to make much progress regarding the post-earthquake renovation, which has caused discontent among vulnerable citizens. This paper presents the results of a qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with owners of damaged apartments and co-owners’ representatives. The authors found two main issues with the post-earthquake renovation in Zagreb: 1) incomplete renovation and problems with the financing of repairs to damaged buildings, and 2) people moving out of the city center and city apartmanization. The results showed that the cost of damage repair in most cases was covered by the citizens themselves and that institutional help has been slow and bureaucratized. Also, the participation process regarding renovation has not been successful for the citizens and they are still dealing with similar problems as in the beginning of the renovation.
U ovome se radu raspravlja o klasifikaciji antifeminizma iznesenoj u knjizi Visoko čelo filozofkinje Gordane Bosanac. U toj knjizi, u potpunosti posvećenoj temi antifeminizma, Gordana Bosanac ukazuje ...na povezanost feminizma i antifeminizma, pri čemu antifeminizam određuje »konzervativnom recepcijom feminističkih vrijednosti i reakciju u osnovi primitivne svijesti«. Feminizam određuje humanističkim i najširim demokratskim pokretom koji počiva na toleranciji, ali i svjetskim idejama koje su usmjerene k miru i pravu na život prirode. Klasifikacija antifeminizma u ovom radu kontekstualizirana je s obzirom na pojavu novih vrsta antifeminizama i njegovih oblika u suvremenim društvima, a posebno u svijetu interneta. U radu se zaključuje da je klasifikacija izvanredno vrijedan i poticajan okvir za daljnja istraživanja ne samo u teorijskom nego i u empirijskom pogledu. Klasifikaciju antifeminizma stvarnost nije demantirala, ona je ostala otvorena za nove pojave i veze koje antifeminizam ima s idejama nove desnice i desnim društvenim pokretima.
This paper discusses the classification of antifeminism presented in the book The High Forehead by the philosopher Gordana Bosanac. In this book, which is entirely dedicated to antifeminism, Gordana Bosanac points out the connection between feminism and antifeminism, where antifeminism is determined by the conservative reception of feminist values and the reaction of basically primitive consciousness. Bosanac determines feminism to be a humanistic and the broadest democratic movement based on tolerance but also on broader world ideas aiming at peace and nature’s right to live. The classification of antifeminism in this paper is contextualized with regard to the emergence of new types of antifeminism and its forms in modern societies, especially in the world of the Internet. The paper concludes that the classification is an extremely valuable and stimulating framework for further research, both theoretical and empirical. Reality did not deny the classification; it remained open to new phenomena of antifeminism and the connection that antifeminism has with the new right and right-wing social movements.

Rad se bavi utjecajem sociodemografskih i društvenih faktora na migracijske aspiracije mladih u Hrvatskoj u 2012. i 2018. godini te komparacijom migracijskih aspiracija mladih iz Hrvatske s ...migracijskim aspiracijama mladih u 2018. godini iz 9 zemalja jugoistočne Europe (Albanija, Bosna i Hercegovina, Bugarska, Crna Gora, Kosovo, Rumunjska, Sjeverna Makedonija, Slovenija i Srbija). Prezentirani nalazi rezultat su projekta koje je provela Zaklada Friedrich Ebert u navedenim zemljama. Regresijskim modelom na uzorku mladih u 2012. u Hrvatskoj pokazano je da su pojedine sociodemografske karakteristike (dob, obrazovanje, tip naselja te planiranje izvanbračne veze) najvažniji prediktori migracijskih aspiracija. U 2018. godini uz dob, migracijske aspiracije iskazuju ispitanici prema svim stupnjevima obrazovanja te mladi iz manjih gradova. Stavovi mladih prema budućnosti Hrvatske relativno su konzistentni; pokazuje se da su 2012. odlasku bili najskloniji oni koji su gospodarsku situaciju u Hrvatsku vidjeli jednakom ili lošijom, dok su u 2018. godini aspiracije pokazivali mladi koji su budućnost hrvatskog društva percipirali lošijom. Nezadovoljstvo stanjem demokracije u 2018. bilo je statistički značajno. Ukupno gledano, mladi iz svih zemalja jugoistočne Europe dominantno iskazuju migracijske aspiracije zbog želje za poboljšanjem životnog standarda, viših plaća i boljih mogućnosti zapošljavanja, što je osobito prisutno u Bosni i Hercegovini, Rumunjskoj i Sjevernoj Makedoniji. Bolje obrazovanje u znatno manjoj mjeri glavni je motiv za preseljenje u drugu zemlju . U regresijskom modelu najkonzistentnijim prediktorom pokazao se pogled na budućnost društva uz ostale prediktore koji se razlikuju s obzirom na analizirane zemlje.
Koristeći Bourdieuov teorijski okvir, rad nastoji istražiti strukturu kulturne participacije i njenu povezanost sa socijalnim obilježjima ispitanika koji stanuju u novim stambenim naseljima i ...lokacijama u Zagrebu i susjednim gradovima (Samoboru, Velikoj Gorici i Zaprešiću). Anketno istraživanje provedeno je 2014. godine na ciljanom uzorku od 308 ispitanika. Faktorskom analizom identificirana su četiri obrasca kulturne participacije: „participacija u visokoj kulturi“, „čitanje i konzumacija kulturnih programa“, „aktivno bavljenje umjetničkim i primijenjenim aktivnostima“ i obrazac „auditivna kultura“. Kako bi se ustanovio utjecaj odabranih sociodemografskih obilježja, faktori su pretvoreni u aditivne skale, na kojima je provedena analiza varijance i t-test. Sa skalom „participacija u visokoj kulturi“ povezani su obrazovanje, radni status, zanimanje ispitanika te prosječni mjesečni prihod kućanstva. Sa skalom „čitanje i konzumacija kulturnih programa“ povezani su ženski spol, dob, obrazovanje i bračni status, a sa skalom „aktivno bavljenje umjetničkim i primijenjenim aktivnostima“ povezan je od svih obilježja samo ženski spol. Skala „auditivna kultura“ nije povezana ni s jednim sociodemografskim obilježjem. Ovo istraživanje potvrđuje važnost socioekonomskog statusa za potrošnju visoke kulture te važnost roda u objašnjenju pojedinih oblika kulturne participacije. Razlika u kulturnoj participaciji stanovnika grada Zagreba i stanovnika susjednih gradova nije se utvrdila.
The article deals with the relationship between body and identity, considering the impact of structural factors (globalization, capitalism) on positioning of the body in modern societies. It starts ...from the assumption that global markets are encouraging standardization of consumer habits and values that manifests itself in the modes of body modification. The emphasis is put on invasive modifications (cosmetic surgery) which influence the age-group, family and racial/ethnic identification. The trends of changing the physical appearance are guided by the looks of body ideals that have, through products of cultural industries, a global impact. Thus are present, beside the "westernization" of body appearance, other non-homogenic forms of "standardization" as well as the procedures of the deliberate body "grotesquization". In this paper it is shown that modifications are supporting wider inequalities and cannot be viewed outside the gender power matrix. Since this problem is a frequent subject of (post) feminist theories we have used these views to analyze and problematize extreme body modifications immanent in the subversive works of the French artist Orlan which alter the patriarchal expectations towards women.

Primjenjujući sociološku perspektivu, ovaj se rad bavi analizom rizičnih ponašanja i njihovom povezanošću s nekim sociodemografskim obilježjima mladih u Hrvatskoj. Pritom se koriste dva teorijska ...pristupa. Prvi je klasni, odnosno socioekonomski pristup koji položaj u društvenoj strukturi smatra važnom odrednicom odabira ponašanja. Drugim se pristupom rizična ponašanja promatraju u kontekstu sociokulturnih faktora, specifično rodne dimenzije. Oba pristupa se nastoji teorijski približiti korištenjem Bourdieuova koncepta habitusa. Rezultati empirijskog istraživanja mladih ukazuju na konzistentnu prisutnost rodnih razlika pri čemu se one mogu pripisati kulturi muškosti koja rodno odreðuje rizična ponašanja poput pušenja, pijenja alkohola i konzumacije lakih droga te ostalih oblika devijantnih ponašanja. Socioekonomski status je značajno povezan s konzumacijom alkohola i nekim devijacijama u ponašanju, ali ta je povezanost različitog predznaka. Socioekonomski status značajno je pozitivno povezan s iskustvom konzumacije alkohola i s iskustvom (auto)destruktivnih ponašanja, dok je negativno i značajno povezan s ponašanjima koja se mogu označiti devijantnima u kontekstu školovanja. Ovaj rad temelji se na kvantitativnom istraživanju mladih provedenom 2018. godine na uzorku od 1500 ispitanika u dobi od 14 do 29 godina iz cijele Hrvatske.
