The city of Zaprešić developed rapidly in the second half of the 20th century, prompted by the beginning of suburbanization of Zagreb, the capital and largest city of the Republic of Croatia. Due to such “unnatural” growth, this paper deals with questions elaborated and analyzed in three main units. The first unit examines the satisfaction of the city's inhabitants with life in Zaprešić, with an emphasis on the city's cultural-entertainment and recreational possibilities. The second, and most important, part of the paper aims to see whether the residents of the city feel connected to the city, whether they think there is an imaginative division of the city into quarters, whether the city has a clearly expressed spatial identity and whether they perceive their city as a sort of “dormitory” of Zagreb. The last unit explores whether there are places of comfort and discomfort for the inhabitants and what are the reasons for their existence. The research was carried out on a sample of 12 interviewed and 258 surveyed inhabitants of Zaprešić, divided according to the established division of the city into two urban districts that take over the role of quartz for the city's inhabitants and determine “quarterly affiliation”. Using descriptive statistics and by coding interview transcripts, questions are answered and conclusions drawn.
