Konceptualizacija doma pri osamostaljivanju mladih na području grada Zagreba

Autorica obrađuje problematiku stvaranja doma pri osamostaljivanju mlađih osoba na području grada Zagreba. Razmatranjem pojma doma s kazivačima dolazi do odgovora kako je dom pozitivno konotiran subjektivan osjećaj u stalnoj mjeni i stanju nedovršenosti. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju da dom nije nepromjenjiv, postojan osjećaj vezan uz samo jedan prostor ili uz samo konkretno mjesto, da se ne može "zdravo za gotovo", pretpostaviti da postoji i da nastaje "sam od sebe". Sigurnost, ugoda, osjećaj da smo na svojem i da možemo biti svoji rezultat su aktivnih napora samih stanara, ponajviše uspostavom kontrole nad prostorom te naknadne rutinizacije, ali i konteksta u kojem se useljavanje u određeni prostor odvija, a ne pasivna tekovina prostora koja na stanara "prelazi" useljenjem. Ti aspekti doma su isto tako fluidni i nestalni te ih, kroz mijene i intervencije u prostor godinama nakon useljenja nanovo tražimo i potvrđujemo, pojačavamo i reorganiziramo, ukratko, izgrađujemo dom. Stvaranje doma kao čin osamostaljenja se može promatrati kroz prizmu liminalnosti gdje stanari kroz postupke stvaranja doma od prvih promišljanja o osamostaljenju, preko uređenja prostora do prvih posjeta rodbine i prijatelja preuzimaju kontrolu nad vlastitim prostorom koji služi kao sredstvo reprezentacije i ispunjenja osobnih potreba.The author researches the making of home in the context of emancipation of young adults in the area of the city of Zagreb. Through discussing the term home with her informants she comes to the conclusion that home is a subjective term with positive conotations that is in constant flux and state of incompleteness. The results of the research show that home is not unchangeable, stable feeling tied to just one space or a concrete place, that it cannot be „taken for granted“, neither can it be persumed that it exists and emerges „on it's own“. Security, comfort, the feeling that we are in our own place where everything is how we want it to be, and that we can be ourselves when "at home" are the results of active efforts taken by the tennants, mostly by asserting control over the space and subsequent rutinisation. These aspects of home are also fluid and unstable and because of this we are, through changes and interventions in space, searching and valorising, amplifying and reorganising even years after we moved in. The author concludes that home is made over time, through certain actions, practices and customs, and is therefore not just a passive inhernt property of a place passed on the tennant simply through the act of moving in. Making of home as an act of emancipation can be observed through the prism of liminality wherein tennants through methods of making home, from the first considerations of emancipation, through the furnishing and decoration of home to the first visits from family and friends are asserting control over their own space that serves as a means of representation and a place of fulfillment of their personal needs
