20.500.12556/DKUM-97142 Quality of life and welfare spaces in Maribor's Koroška vrata district mapping and interviews Kakovost življenja in prostori blaginje v mariborski mestni četrti koroška vrata kartiranje in intervjuji This study examines the role of public or "welfare" spaces in shaping quality of life in the Koroška Vrata neighbourhood of Maribor, Slovenia. Using direct observation and twelve semi-structured interviews, it analyses residents' perceptions of mobility, safety, and social interaction. Findings indicate that compact urban design, abundant green spaces, and accessible services promote well-being and a strong sense of safety. While minor issues were raised regarding public transport, football-related disturbances, and e-bikes, residents overall considered the neighbourhood highly liveable and expressed little need for change. Študija preučuje vlogo javnih oziroma prostorov "blaginje" pri oblikovanju kakovosti življenja v soseski Koroška vrata v Mariboru. Z uporabo neposrednega opazovanja in dvanajstih polstrukturiranih intervjujev analizira zaznave prebivalcev glede mobilnosti, varnosti in socialnih interakcij. Ugotovitve kažejo, da kompaktna urbana zasnova, obilje zelenih površin in dostopne storitve spodbujajo dobro počutje ter močan občutek varnosti. Čeprav so bili izpostavljeni manjši izzivi, povezani z javnim potniškim prometom, motnjami ob nogometnih tekmah in električnimi kolesi, so prebivalci sosesko na splošno ocenili kot zelo primerno za bivanje in izrazili nizko potrebo po spremembah. welfare spaces well-being quality of life public spaces urban well-being prostori blaginje dobro počutje kakovost življenja javni prostori urbano blagostanje true false true University of Maribor, University Press Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Maribor (Slovenija); Znanstveno delo 2026-02-19 13:55:24 2026-02-19 13:55:24 2026-02-20 03:13:34 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 39-50 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-01-29 316.728:304.35(497.4Maribor) 265915651 269033987 10.18690/um.ff.2.2026.3 RAZ_Koyun_Ezgi_2026.pdf RAZ_Koyun_Ezgi_2026.pdf 1 47BC5B01D91569BB8083D2546C8C1809 7d5768c9b33eef72dcc4590af5ac3ec1c3d86db118ced0e8e75cb1bf78745c66 6f12ec40-0d92-11f1-a5b8-00155d580e1a https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=203541 https://doi.org/10.18690/um.ff.2.2026.3 1 422f2afc-0d92-11f1-a5b8-00155d580e1a https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=203540 Filozofska fakulteta Quality of life in a changing world 0 0 0
