Socioeconomic aspect of student housing - Univesity of Split

U radu se analiziraju socio-demografske i socio-ekonomske karakteristike splitskih studenata. Također, istražuju se iskustva i stavovi o problemu pronalaska studentskog smještaja u gradu Splitu. Te za kraj, analizira se i njihovo zadovoljstvo kvalitetom života u studentskim domovima i privatnim smještajima. Istraživanje je provedeno tijekom srpnja 2021. godine metodom online ankete na temelju online upitnika od 20 pitanja većinom zatvorenog tipa. Uzorak je obuhvatio 460 ispitanika, tj. studenata Sveučilišta u Splitu, čije je prebivalište izvan Splita. Uzorak je stratificiran prema dostupnim socio-demografskim obilježjima studenata na temelju podataka Studentskog centra. Ispitanicima smo pristupili putem društvenih mreža. Prema rezultatima istraživanja, većina ispitanika koji koriste studentski dom čine to isključivo radi slabijeg socio-ekonomskog statusa. Zatim, više od četvrtine ispitanika nije doživjelo subvencioniranje za privatni smještaj, a većina njih se susrela barem jednom sa zahtijevanjem za napuštanje smještaja za vrijeme ljetnog ispitnog roka. Također, rezultati su ukazali na njihovo nezadovoljstvo cijenom privatnog smještaja u Splitu, ali su zadovoljni vlastitim studentskim smještajem. Dok nema značajne razlike po spolu kada se govori o tome da studentski domovi nisu dovoljno opremljeni za kvalitetan studentski život što je neočekivano.The paper analyzes the socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics of Split students. Also, experiences and attitudes about the problem of finding student accommodation in the city of Split are researched. Finally, their satisfaction with the quality of life in student dormitories and private accommodation is analyzed. The survey was conducted during July 2021 using an online survey method based on an online questionnaire of 20 mostly closed-ended questions. The sample included 460 respondents, ie. students of the University of Split, whose residence is outside Split. The sample was stratified according to the available socio-demographic characteristics of the students based on the data of the Student Center. We approached the respondents through social networks. According to the results of the research, most of the respondents who use the dormitory do so solely because of their lower socio-economic status. Then, more than a quarter of respondents did not experience subsidies for private accommodation, and most of them met at least once with a request to leave accommodation during the summer exam period. Also, the results indicated their dissatisfaction with the price of private accommodation in Split, but they are satisfied with their own student accommodation. While there is no significant difference by gender when it comes to the fact that student dormitories are not sufficiently equipped for a quality student life, which is unexpected
