Popis: U radu se razmatraju društvene, gospodarske i kulturološke promjene koje su između 1960. i 1970. zahvatile sjevernu periferiju Zagreba. Izloženo istraživanje provedeno je metodom usmene povijesti u središnjem dijelu Zagrebačkoga prigorja, njegova dijela najbližega gradu Zagrebu, koje se proteže od Mikulića na zapadu do Čučerja na istoku. Korištena je i arhivska građa lokalnih župa, škole Šestine te relevantna literatura. Stanovnike istraživanoga područja u prošlosti je karakterizirala zajednička narodna nošnja, istovjetni godišnji i radni običaji, kajkavski dijalekt te obrasci ponašanja. U skladu sa širenjem gradskoga teritorija nakon 1950. taj se prostor postupno urbanizira izgradnjom infrastrukture, a nekadašnja prigorska sela pretvaraju u naselja prigradskoga tipa. Proces promjena zahvaća obitelj i pojedince, koji mijenjaju životne navike i obrasce ponašanja, čime neizbježno utječu na transformaciju cijeloga Zagrebačkog prigorja i njegova postupnoga uklapanja u grad Zagreb.
The villages of the Zagreb Foothills, located on the southern slopes of Mount Medvednica, experienced the first hints of changes in the period between the world wars. These changes encompassed the electrification of certain villages and the partial construction of a water supply network. The economic interdependence of the nearby settlements to the north of Zagreb and the city itself slowly transformed the peasants of the foothill villages into peasant-workers, and then into citizens of Zagreb. After World War II and the annexation of the former villages to the City of Zagreb, the urbanisation processes increasingly influenced family units, their economy, everyday life, and customs. Thus, in the 1960s, a complete transformation of the rural area took place, and it became part of the urban complex. The socio-economic processes that permeated Yugoslavia in that period, the gradual liberalisation of the market and the creation of a consumer society, created among the former peasants a desire to adopt the urban culture and lifestyle. Abandonment of agriculture and animal husbandry, permanent employment in the city, and increased purchasing power allowed the families of the northern city periphery to buy household appliances such as television sets, washing machines, and refrigerators. Everyday life became easier and more leisurely, but severed a series of old social ties and permanently transformed the villages of the Zagreb Foothills into an integral part of the City of Zagreb.
