摘要：Rural context is not a unique experience. It is a result of different socio-cultural and historical heritage as well as different local development. The purpose of this paper is to point out the specific characteristics of rural areas, which are manifested in various aspects of the quality of family life within the same regional unit. As an example of existing disparities, the survey covered four municipalities in Sisak-Moslavina County: two municipalities that experienced war damage and whose development index is below 50% of the Croatian average (Dvor and Hrvatska Dubica) and two municipalities that weren’t affected by the war and their development index is within the average range in Croatia (Velika Ludina and Lipovljani).The study was conducted on the sample of 390 primary school children’s parents. The survey covered the following aspects of the quality of family life: material and employment status, housing conditions, children’s educational opportunities, quality of family relationships, presence of different stressors in the family, health status, social networks and availability of social support, social inclusion and integration into the community, perception of the quality of life in the community. The results show differences in certain aspects of the quality of life regarding the local development context and the family structure (nuclear and extended family). Specific difficulties that families with unemployed members experience are presented and compared to families with at least one employed member. Finally, various risk and protective factors which arise within the family and wider environment are problematized. They significantly affect the overall functioning and quality of life of families in rural areas.
