“…Thus, in influencing individual and group behaviour, place attachments affect communities at large (Manzo and Perkins, 2006). In that sense, some authors emphasise that the feeling of attachment is directly linked with sustainable urban development, and this factor should necessarily be taken into consideration when debating sustainable development (Uzzell et al, 2002;Guardia and Pol, 2002).…”

This paper represents a study of the quality of life in the City of Rijeka. The main research aim was to analyse whether significant differences exist in mean satisfaction with neighbourhood among different groups of respondents according to selected variables. Overall neighbourhood satisfaction was used as an indicator of the quality of neighbourhood life. The main research method was a questionnaire survey conducted on a random sample of 365 households, chosen from five city neighbourhoods. Statistical procedures used were t-test and one-way analysis of variance. The conducted analysis showed that respondents in analysed neighbourhoods of Rijeka do not differ significantly in neighbourhood satisfaction regarding: gender, age, educational attainment, monthly household income, perceived property value, housing type and length of residence. On the other hand, significant difference in neighbourhood satisfaction was found regarding respondents' tenure. Furthermore, it has been shown that a positive feeling towards place and community is linked with higher levels of neighbourhood satisfaction. Respondents who meet their neighbours more often to discuss common neighbourhood issues were also more satisfied with their neighbourhoods. Key words: urban quality of life, neighbourhood, Rijeka Kvaliteta života -studija slučaja: Grad RijekaRad se bavi kvalitetom života u Gradu Rijeci. Glavni istraživački cilj bio je istražiti postoje li statistički značajne razlike u prosječnom zadovoljstvu susjedstvom među različitim grupama ispitanika s obzirom na odabrane varijable. Kao indikator kvalitete života u susjedstvu upotrijebljeno je pitanje o ukupnom zadovoljstvu susjedstvom. Glavna istraživačka metoda bila je anketno istraživanje, koje je provedeno na slučajnom uzorku od 365 kućanstava odabranih iz pet gradskih susjedstava. Primijenjeni su statistički postupci t-test i jednosmjerna analiza varijance. Navedenim analizama utvrđeno je da se ispitanici iz odabranih susjedstava Grada Rijeke ne razlikuju značajno u zadovoljstvu susjedstvom s obzirom na spol, dob, stupanj obrazovanja, prosječna mjesečna primanja kućanstva, percipiranu vrijednost nekretnina u susjedstvu, tip stambenog objekta te duljinu stanovanja u susjedstvu. S druge strane, značajne razlike u zadovoljstvu susjedstvom pronađene su s obzirom na stambeni status, pozitivne osjećaje prema mjestu i zajednici te učestalost sastajanja sa susjedima.

The present research aimed at researching the relationships among place attachment, residential evaluations and satisfaction in a medium-sized post-communist Romanian city. Studies on post-communist cities are scarce and this research tried to fill that gap. This research is part of a government project that intended to significantly reform three medium-sized cities in the Western part of Romania and transform the urban space. Since the three of them are relatively small-sized and close spatially, the project intends to undertake massive reforms of the communications and services of the three cities. In this article, we report findings on the city of Hunedoara. A representative random sample was selected, and a total of 384 people were interviewed, with an overall reliability of the sample of 95%. The instruments used to gather the data were the Neighbourhood Perceived Environmental Quality Scale and a composite measure of place attachment was also included. The structure of each scale was checked using exploratory factor analysis. We tested alternative causal models using structural equations modelling. Our model showed a good fit to the data and explains satisfaction in the city adequately. Results show that satisfaction is directly predicted by the general evaluation of the city and by residential privacy. Residential noise and place attachment influence satisfaction indirectly. The results are discussed and some policy recommendations are formulated.

“…Specifically, Uzzell et al (2002) define environmental sustainability as the protection of natural wealth, control of the consumption of nonrenewable resources, control of the emission of pollution, maintenance of biodiversity, and preservation of flora and fauna and the health of the population. Porter & Van der Linde (1995) emphasized that the adoption of environmental sustainability practices can represent opportunities to improve the innovation capacity and competitiveness of companies (avoiding the waste of water and energy, for example).…”

Although international and relevant research on environmental sustainability and project portfolio management is quite developed, there are few studies integrating the two areas. We could only identify research on each of the areas and very few interfaces between them, either in empirical or theoretical terms. In constructing a case study, our choice was to study of the existing European largest firms of energy production and supply, and one that is globally recognized in the area of renewable energy. This article aims to analyze and enable understanding of the policies and practices for integrating environmental sustainability and project portfolio management. Among the main results we observed that the environmental and social aspects of portfolio projects are inseparable for this organization. Good communication and active negotiation with stakeholders, especially with the local communities in the vicinity of projects, was highlighted as a management practice that may be used to improve project management performance. Furthermore, it was noted that logic in relation to identification, analysis and approval of new projects in the firm is also guided by the same environmental and social concerns.
