Abstract

The Object of the Study. Day-to-day relations in public places of settlements in the Novosibirsk region. The Subject of Study. Everyday relationships in public places as part of everyday social life and an indicator of the quality of life. The Hypothesis. The individual in everyday life is in a deterministic situation, determined by his(her) physical and sociocultural environment. Social, material and other conditions determine the properties and quality of the individual's daily life. Basic Theoretical Aspects. The theoretical basis of the study is the concept of everyday life security. The peculiarity of the reaction of the Russian population to the crisis experienced by the country is manifested in a decrease in the sense of ontological security and increased conflict during their stay in public places. The Main Empirical Aspects. The majority of respondents characterize everyday relations in public places of their settlements as relations suffering from a lack of mutual assistance, participation and attention of people to each other. The villagers characterize the content of everyday relationships more optimistically than the townspeople. The common point is a joint assessment by respondents of examples of the destruction of the traditional spirit of community for Russia. In public places, respondents often meet with manifestations of intolerance, aggressiveness and indifference towards them and other people. Methods. Analysis of comments and explanations received from respondents (2,200 people). Purpose. Identifying the degree of satisfaction with the content of everyday relationships in public places in the settlements of the Novosibirsk Oblast’.
Keywords:
everyday life, the quality of life, public places, the reduction of solidarity in society, the growth of aggression, indifference and intolerancen
