Abstract

Pandemija COVID-19 od svog pojavljivanja neupitno predstavlja izazov za svakodnevno funkcioniranje
društva u svim njegovim aspektima.Od početka širenja pandemije na sve kontinete svijeta u javnom
prostoru svjedočimo o promjeni pojedinih obrazaca ponašanja, uvođenju novih pravila s ciljem
spriječavanja širenja virusa, reorganizaciji rada u novim uvjetima pandemije i potencijalnoj promjeni u
pogledima na način na koji se države, društva ili drugi akteri organiziraju kako bi se što bolje prilagodili
novonastaloj situaciji. Cilj ovog rada je istražiti kako se građani suburbanih i ruralnih područja u Hrvatskoj
suočavaju s pandemijom COVID-19 s posebnim naglaskom na neke aspekte socijalne kontrole.Cilj je
utvrditi je li pandemija COVID-19 povezana s promjenom obrazaca svakodnevnog funkcioniranja građana
s obzirom na uvedene epidemiološke mjere i interakciju s izvršiteljima socijalne kontrole. Istraživanje
provedno za potrebe ovog diplomskog rada je kvantitativno, podaci su prikupljeni putem online anketnog
upitnika i to na uzorku punoljetnih građana koji žive na suburbanom i ruralnom području, odnosno na
području Koprivničko-križevačke županije.Na teorijskom planu oslanjamo se na teorije socijalne kontrole,
odnosno na pojmove proceduralne korektnosti, legitimiteta policije i kolektivne efikasnosti.Pokazano je da
građani u suburanim područjima pokazuju uglavnom slaganje s uvedenim epidemiološkim mjerama,
spremni su na suradnju s policijom i iskazuju povjerenje u policiju kada je u pitanju način na koji se
osigurava pridržavanje epidemiološkim mjera.

Abstract (english)

From today's perspective there is no doubt that COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge for everyday functioning
of our society but also further.Since the virus started to spread in all parts od the world we are witnessing a
change in our everyday patterns of behaviour, there are new rules aiming to stop the spread of the virus, the
way people work also changed.Potentially this could all lead to a change in the way the society percieves
it's state and a change in thinking about society and the way it functions and organises in challenging times.
The main goal of this paper is to examine how are citizens from suburban and rural areas in Croatia coping
with COVID-19 pandemic with accent on some aspects of social control.Our aim is also to investigate if
COVID-19 pandemic is connected with the change in behavior patternd in everyday functioning considering
new epidemiological measures and interaction with police officers . Research conducted for this paper is
quantitative, we collected our data throught online survey and our sample consists of adults that live in
suburban an rural areas, to be more precise in Koprivničko-Križevačka county.
The theoretical aspect of this paper is centered around the theories of social control, we examine terms like
procedural justice, police legitimacy, collective efficacy and trust.Our study shows that adult citizens in
suburban and rural area mostly do comply with epidemiological measures, they are willing to cooperate
with police officers and show that they trust the police and their actions considering the way they ensure
compliance with epidemiological measures.
