Sažetak
This paper deals with the complexities of questionnaire design for a survey of cultural resources of the city that exemplifies in a rather drastic way the specificities of the current predicaments of cities with the tradition of the Mediterranean way of life, including an UNESCO-protected historical core, but also with large industrial and apartment block sections from the socialist period (1945-1990), as well as with urban landscapes and phenomena characteristic of post-industrial decay that took part in the postsocialist period. The paper departs from the premise that cultural analysis should avoid pre-set solutions, but should take into account the specificities of the studied case. To this end, research and questionnaire design for a survey in point were developed by means of mixture of approaches to cultural analysis that are usually employed separately. On the one hand, values were surveyed through the lens of theories of modernization (Inglehart, Welzel, Beck), with the emphasis put on the research of expressive, postmaterialist values. On the other hand, cultural practices and tastes were surveyed in the Bourdieuan tradition. The motivation for such a hybrid approach came from a previous survey of resistance to socioeconomic change in the Western Balkans (principal investigator: Predrag Cvetičanin), but evolved in the direction allowing research results to be employed with a view to formulating a multidimensional urban cultural policy, taking into account both traditional cultural policy concerns and a set of new concerns connected to the current, posttransitional attempts to reorient the available urban and human resources to creative economy and culture-led regeneration.
