Sažetak
The goal of our presentation is to explain the notion of urban space in everyday life in Zagreb related to the heritage of Dražen Petrović (‘Petro’), one of the greatest European basketball players of all time. This research is a part of H2020 project CHIEF. The data for our research was gathered through the ethnographic method with the implementation of individual, semi-structured interviews and walking interviews. Participatory observation lasted from March to September 2020. The first part of observation was performed through participating in and recording communication within social media as a virtual space ; one of the authors of the report actively participated in the work of the 'We are Cibona' youth activist group. The observed group of youth consisted of roughly 20 members between 21 and 27 years of age. Young Cibona supporters gather at this heritage site in Zagreb and they symbolically mark the space consists, emphasising their devotion to the club and the legacy of ‘Petro’. In addition to ethnographic research, several observations were made at the heritage site itself, which of a museum, a square with a monument, a basketball hall, and the surrounding public spaces. In September 2020, three walking interviews were conducted at the heritage site, in groups consisting of young members of 'We are Cibona'. The respondents have internalised the heritage site as an everyday gathering place, where the collective memory of ‘Petro’ and the history of the club is constantly (re)constructed.
