The paper identifies the quality and integrity of residential environment RE in Slovenia that changed according to socio-economic circumstances when the new socialist society in the Yugoslav era (1945-1990) was formed and was substantially changed in the post-independence era of the liberal market society. The research of RE from different periods was conducted in the city of Maribor. The results indicate differences in quality in the period of the Scandinavian influence, engineering economy parameters after the housing reform, and of the market economy after independency. U clanku se analiziraju stambena naselja RE u Sloveniji s obzirom na njihovu kvalitetu i integritet koje su se mijenjale ovisno o socio-ekonomskim okolnostima: najprije u kontekstu socijalistickog društvenog poretka u vrijeme Jugoslavije (1945.-1990.), a zatim nakon stjecanja državne neovisnosti u okolnostima slobodnog tržišta. Rad donosi istraživanje stambenih naselja u Mariboru u razlicitim vremenskim razdobljima. Rezultati ukazuju na kvalitativne razlike u razdoblju skandinavskog utjecaja, kao i parametre inženjerske ekonomije nakon stambene reforme i tržišne ekonomije nakon stjecanja nezavisnosti.
