Popis: | The aim of this paper is to analyse the urban quality of life in the City District of Stenjevec (City of Zagreb) based on selected objective and subjective indicators. Objective indicators show the level of accessibility to selected variables within the District, but the concept of urban quality of life is primarily understood as residents’ level of satisfaction with four relevant domains (environment, transportation and infrastructure, accessibility of amenities and services, accessibility of sports and recreational facilities) and associated subdomains (N 31). The research was conducted on two levels. The first level was comprised of the analysis of accessibility in terms of walking distance to the kindergartens, elementary schools, bus stations, sports facilities and playgrounds. Geographic information system (GIS) was used to make a typology according to which areas within the District with excellent, good and poor accessibility have been identified. The second level of research based on subjective indicators included a questionnaire survey in order to find out the respondents’ level of satisfaction and their evaluation of the District. The questionnaire survey was conducted in November of 2018 on a purposive sample of 228 respondents from all six local committees belonging to the District. The research results show that the District of Stenjevec has objectively satisfactory accessibility to the observed variables in most of its parts. Additionally, the results show that the respondents perceived it as a peaceful city district that is good for families, with the amenities and services easily accessible. On the other hand, some perceived disadvantages clearly show in which directions further steps are needed, in order to make urban quality of life in the District better. Cilj rada jest analizirati kvalitetu života u Gradskoj četvrti Stenjevec (Zagreb) na temelju odabranih objektivnih i subjektivnih pokazatelja. Objektivni pokazatelji ukazuju na razinu dostupnosti odabranih sadržaja u četvrti, no koncept kvalitete života u gradu prvenstveno je shvaćen kao razina zadovoljstva stanovnika s četiri relevantne domene (okoliš, promet i infrastruktura, dostupnost sadržaja i usluga, dostupnost sadržaja za provođenje slobodnog vremena) te kao zadovoljstvo pripadajućim poddomenama (N 31). Istraživanje je provedeno na dvije razine. Prva razina uključivala je analizu pješačke dostupnosti do vrtića, osnovnih škola, autobusnih stanica, sportskih objekata i igrališta te je uz pomoć geografskog informacijskog sustava (GIS-a) napravljena tipologija dostupnosti prema kojoj su izdvojena područja unutar Četvrti s izvrsnom, dobrom i slabom dostupnošću do navedenih sadržaja. Druga razina istraživanja, temeljena na subjektivnim pokazateljima, obuhvatila je anketno istraživanje o zadovoljstvu i stavovima ispitanika prema Četvrti u kojoj žive. Anketno istraživanje provedeno je u studenom 2018. godine na prigodnom uzorku od 228 ispitanika iz svih šest mjesnih odbora koje pripadaju Četvrti. Rezutati istraživanja pokazuju da četvrt Stenjevec ima objektivno zadovoljavajuću dostupnost ispitivanih varijabli u svom najvećem dijelu te da je većina ispitanih stanovnika percipira mirnim dijelom grada, odličnom za obiteljski život u kojoj su im lako dostupni važni sadržaji i usluge. Percipirani nedostaci pak jasno pokazuju u kojem bi smjeru trebalo raditi kako bi kvaliteta života u Četvrti bila na još boljoj razini. |
