“…Posameznik zazna situacijo kot ogrožajočo (kognicija), postane ga strah (čustva), zato se želi zaščititi ali umakniti iz ogrožajoče situacije (vedenje). Za merjenje vseh treh komponent je bil za države nekdanje Jugoslavije kreiran in uporabljen vprašalnik z indikatorji, ki merijo vse tri komponente strahu pred kriminaliteto (Djurić in Popović-Citić, 2013). Čustvena komponenta je vključevala šest scenarijev (zgodb), za katere je posameznik opredelil, kako ogroženega se počuti, kognitivna dimenzija je vključevala oceno verjetnosti, da se v naslednjih 12 mesecih zgodi katero od kriminalnih dejanj, vedenjska pa zaščitne mere, ki jih je posameznik uporabil.…”

To be as effective as possible, approaches to the provision of safety and security must be tailored to the needs of local communities and residents’ expectations. The paper presents findings of a survey on Slovenian residents’ (n = 1,062) satisfaction with the provision of security and their feelings of safety in the local environment. The research aimed to determine how satisfied are residents with safety in general and security institutions in their local communities and whether there are any differences in these perceptions between residents from different local communities in terms of their degree of urbanisation. The results showed that regarding the provision of security, respondents are most satisfied with the work of police and less with the wardens and the local municipality government. Respondents are the least satisfied with security institutions in rural parts of Slovenia. At the same time, we did not find any significant differences between residents’ satisfaction with security institutions in more urbanised parts of the country. Most respondents feel very safe, but residents living in individual houses feel safer than respondents from multi-apartment buildings.

New virus SARS-CoV-2 (hereinafter COVID-19) has reached the Republic of Slovenia in February 2020. On March 12th, 2020, the state has announced the epidemic. In this context, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia began to adopt different measures to protect the population and stop spreading the virus COVID-19. All local communities had to act according to the government’s decisions. In this contribution, we present an analysis of some cases and praxis in local communities. We have analysed some actions of local authorities (mayors and local councils) in the context of fighting against the spread of the virus COVID-19 among the local population. The analysis also includes an overview of local legal regulations and activities of local security authorities (local-community wardens and local community inspectorates) in the fight against the spreading of the COVID-19 virus. The minority of Slovenian communities have adopted some »special lock-down measures«. The way that these activities were legally processed is shown in the last part of this contribution.

The perception of (in)security plays a crucial role in shaping individuals' interactions with their environment and can have significant implications for the prevalence and persistence of criminal activity within communities. Perceived insecurity can lead individuals to fear becoming victims of crime and can affect the willingness of individuals to report crimes to authorities. Furthermore , it can undermine social cohesion within communities by eroding trust and cooperation among residents. The subjective security experience in the neighbourhood is a multifaceted phenomenon influenced by various determinants. Using data from the European Social Survey Round 10, the paper aims to scrutinise the potential factors contributing to feelings of security among the respondents in Serbia. We focus on the respondents' perceptions of security in four regions (Bel-grade, Vojvodina, Šumadija and West Serbia, and South and East Serbia) operationalised through the question "How safe do you-or would you-feel walking alone in your neighbourhood after dark?". By examining determinants such as age, gender, daily activity, area (rural or urban), social capital, interpersonal trust and perceived quality of society, this paper aims to shed light on the complexities of security perception. The primary findings underscore the significance of individual vulnerability and social integration measures as critical indicators of security perceptions in the neighbourhoods. The study highlighted notable regional variations in predictors of security perceptions, emphasising the necessity of localised approaches to address security concerns. By comprehensively understanding the determinants of subjective security, policymakers and urban planners can develop targeted strategies to mitigate fear and enhance security perceptions.
