War and war-related events can cause disintegration of vital community dimensions at the micro-level (related to everyday life of habitants), meso-level (regarding social relations) and macro-level (factors that make community autonomous entity). This article presents an example of a community that manifests characteristics of a disintegrated community in Croatia: at the micro-level with reduced living standards; at the meso-level with divided ethnic groups and non-functional social ties; at the macro-level with incomplete institutional development and underdeveloped economy. Approaches in community rebuilding tackling all three dimensions are proposed. On those grounds, the role of social work in rebuilding post-war communities is suggested.
