Inhabitants and Social Organization in the Villages near Zagreb

Summary/Abstract: Within the ethnographic research of folk culture in the villages near Zagreb: Resnik, Čučerje, Šćitarjevo, Markuševec and Šestine, two themes were investigated: inhabitants and social organization. While researching and recording of the given data the author had in mind the time between the two World Wars. During the research, there was a need for registrating contemporary cultural phenomena. Although the main task was finding out the changes in folk life in these suburban villages near Zagreb between the two World Wars, it was necessary to establish transformation found after World War II up to the date of investigation. During the research of both themes the most interesting questions were those which could clear some of the processes of cutting apart the traditional village and the changes of certain life-values of . its inhabitants In investigating cultural phenomena of social organization, the author used questions connected with the village community, family, extended family (zadruga), main forms of collective work. Th e author only showed the date white investigating in above mentioned locations, but did not give her interpretation of these. The interpretation of these are possible after the project „Urgent ethnographic investigation of folk life in Zagreb and its surroundings“. Unfortunately, the investigation within this research can not point out the reflections and influences (and it is sure they exist) of this folk life in villages near Zagreb on the cultural image of to-days Zagreb.
