| Abstract: | 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. |
