This paper provides an overview of changes that have occurred within the Bad Blue Boys fan group in the last decade as a result of clashes with the GNK Dinamo management. The dynamics of this ...relationship are studied through the concepts of political non-participation and action through civil society and within the Against Modern Football Movement. This study used a qualitative methodology, and 11 in-depth interviews were conducted with members of the Bad Blue Boys fan group. The study established a weakening in group cohesion in the last ten years and the beginnings of action through the sphere of civil society. The most significant project resulting from this, and which is driven by these concepts, is Futsal Dinamo. This, in combination with the element of nostalgia, is a novelty for the Bad Blue Boys fan group.
The question of how digital technologies, especially the use of the Internet, affect young people's lives is one of the central research topics in contemporary sociology. On the one hand, the ...positive effects of digital technologies, enabling the emergence of online communities, are highlighted. On the other hand, there are also many negative effects, especially the fear of alienation. Based on the results of research conducted with 552 third and fourth grade high school students in Vukovar-Syrmia County (Croatia), this paper examines how social networking, frequency of digital technologies use, and technologically-mediated socializing influence attitudes towards the local community. It has been shown that the frequency of using digital technology does not have a negative effect on the sense of community, on the contrary – the use of mobile phones is positively correlated to support and emotional connection with peers. However, the tendency to use technology for socializing has a significant effect on two of the three measured dimensions of sense of community, in the way that young people who prefer to establish and maintain online relationships are less close to the local community. The findings support previous studies indicating multiple and varied effects of digital technologies, particularly the Internet use, on local social relationships. It has also been shown that the use of digital technologies had a much stronger effect on the assessment of attitudes towards peers in the community than in other studied dimensions of sense of community – support and emotional connection in the community and satisfaction of needs and opportunities for involvement.
Cilj je ovog rada prije svega razmotriti neke osnovne pojmove i njihova značenja, vezane uz suvremene društvene interakcije, polazeći od klasičnih socioloških pojmova društveni odnos i društvena ...interakcija te sagledati što se mijenja, a što je isto u doba umrežavanja i »preseljenja« u virtualni prostor. Drugim riječima, želimo preispitati formu i sadržaj istih u dobu bez nužnosti dimenzije prostora u nekom odnosu, pri čemu nastaju nove forme i pojmovi kao što su mreža, umreženost, virtualnost i sl. U prvom poglavlju prikazat će se značenje pojmova društveni odnos i društvena interakcija koji podrazumijevaju one dru- štvene odnose u kojima su prisutni kontakt/susret ili komunikacija te koji nas vode prema pojmu društvena interakcija u istom prostoru i istom vremenu. Tema drugog poglavlja je društvena interakcija u istom vremenu bez prostora, kada pojavom informacijske tehnologije pojedinci i društva ulaze u cyber prostor nove virtualne stvarnosti. To nas pak dovodi do razvoja različitih oblika interakcija na društvenim mrežama, što je tema trećeg poglavlja. U četvrtom poglavlju razmatraju se neki rizici i neke pozitivne mogućnosti virtualnih interakcija u odnosu na realne.
The aim of this paper is primarily to consider some basic concepts and their meanings related to contemporary social interactions, starting from the classical sociological concepts of social relationship and social interaction, and to see what is changing and what remains the same in the age of networking and “moving” to virtual space. In other words, we want to re-examine their form and content in an age without the necessity of the spatial dimension for a relationship, in which new forms and concepts occur, such as network, networking, virtuality, etc. The first chapter will show the meaning of social relations and social interaction, which imply those social relations in which contact/encounter or communication is present and which leads us to the concept of social interaction in the same space and at the same time. The topic of the second chapter is social interaction at the same time without space, when, with the application of information technology, individuals and societies enter the cyberspace of a new virtual reality. This leads us to the development of various forms of interaction on social networks, which is the topic of the third chapter. The fourth chapter discusses some of the risks and positive possibilities of virtual interactions over real ones.

Gradovi zbog prenapučenosti prolaze veliku strukturnu promjenu te se suočavaju s društvenim, ekonomskim, ekološkim i političkim izazovima. Kako bi se doskočilo spomenutim izazovima u akademskom, ...znanstvenom i političkom diskursu sve češće se koriste različiti konceptualni pojmovi koji odražavaju potrebu za suočavanjem s novonastalim promjenama. Među tim pojmovima često se koristi i pojam pametnoga grada. Još uvijek ne postoji jednoznačna definicija spomenutoga koncepta, no često se povezuje s idejom održivoga ekonomskoga, ekološkoga i socijalnoga razvoja. S obzirom na nedostatak istraživanja koja problematiziraju koncept pametnoga grada ovo istraživanje provedeno je s ciljem razumijevanja spomenutoga koncepta u hrvatskom urbanom kontekstu primjenom online anketnoga upitnika, na uzorku zaposlenih u javnoj gradskoj upravi, koji su na profesionalan način povezani s ovom problematikom.
