The article discusses the study carried out by Croatian researchers from the Institute of Social Sciences Ivo Pilar. The research was realized through face-to-face interviews conducted between March and May 2014. It’s goal was to investigate the structure of local social relations by exploring the frequency and density of interactions between neighbours. Obtained data was analysed according to the demographic and socioeconomic background of the responders. The article includes a short introduction into the issue of neighbourhood patterns in Croatia which is described in the context of broader, global changes. After reviewing the research theoretical and methodological assumptions I present and discuss its findings. The summary suggests some problems and inspirations for further exploration in the matter of neighbourhood relations.
