The lifestyles of residents in the apartment block neighbourhood in Žalec and the neighbourhood of single-family houses in Podvin

V diplomski nalogi so obravnavani življenjski stili prebivalcev v blokovni soseski v Žalcu in soseski enodružinskih hiš v Podvinu. Najprej smo predstavili območje preučevanja in nekaj osnovnih pojmov, ki se navezujejo na obravnavano temo. Pojasnili smo, da socialna geografija v sedanjosti vedno več pozornosti namenja preučevanju socialnih skupin v prostoru. Pri tem je pomembno poznavanje njihovega življenjskega stila, saj ta odraža način njihovega delovanja v prostoru. Življenjski stil intervjuvanih prebivalcev smo v nalogi opredelili na podlagi njihovih socioekonomskih značilnosti, mobilnosti in oblik potrošnje. Te kazalnike smo določili s pomočjo teorije Pierra Bourdieuja. Ta pravi, da je življenjski stil posameznika povezan z različnim obsegom njegovega materialnega, socialnega in kulturnega kapitala. V empiričnem delu smo po tematskih sklopih analizirali vsebino intervjujev. Podatke smo predstavili kvantitativno (tabelarno in grafično) in kvalitativno (opisno). Na koncu smo predstavili značilnosti življenjskih stilov, ki se pojavljajajo v izbranih soseskah.The thesis deals with lifestyles of residents in the apartment block neighbourhood in Žalec and the neighbourhood of single-family houses in Podvin. Firstly we presented the researched area and some basic concepts related to this topic. We explained that lately social geography mostly deals with examining the arrangement of social groups in regions. Knowing their lifestyles is important because it defines their behaviour in the surroundings. We determined the lifestyles of the interviewees based on their social and economic characteristics, their mobility and forms of consumptions. These indicators were based on the Pierra Bourdieu’s theory which explains how a lifestyle of an individual is connected to its material, social and cultural wealth. Empiric part of the thesis deals with analysing the interviews categorised in topics. Data is presented quantitatively with charts and graphs, and qualitatively (descriptively). Finally, features of the lifestyles occurring in the examined neighbourhoods are presented
