The problems of collecting data and evaluating how the citizens of Osijek were informed about envirnmental, cultural and politica issues

Because of war, economic, cultural and migratory restructuring in Croatia, certain changes in forms and intensity of knowledge of population in Croatia are to be expected (Cifrić, 1990 ; Missen, 1992). The exploratory hypthesis was tested through comparing ecological, cultural and socio-political knowledge. The tested sample included 150 people in the 1991 survey, and 227 in 1993. The results showed a significant increase in the socio-political knowledge of the population in the post-war, as well as a decrease in ecological and cultural knowledge. The survey was carried out on the assumption that the interest in "higher needs" (ecological and cultural level of knowledge in the survey) significantly changes, when basis existencial needs are thretened (war activities in Osijek). The expolratory hypothesis impies that in the post-war period, ecological and cultural knowledge (as well as the activities) will decrease for the benefit of the political knowledge, i.e. passive or active political engagements.
