This study analyzes the concept of home from different perspectives: transformation of the apartment in the home; aspects of home and aspects of quality of life. The initial hypothesis that the most important element of home are interactions of its residents is been confirmed, although there are other important factors that respondents mentioned. Method used in this research was structured interview which took place during June and July of 2015 in city of Split. Four buildings were selected: two new and two old buildings with the aim of finding differences in the perception of home depending on the age of the building and length of residence. The research results showed that there is no significant statistical difference between the residents of new and old buildings and between other categories, such as gender, age, socioeconomic status ect. Regardless of other characteristics, home for most people means same thing – a feeling of comfort and opportunity to interact with household members and family. People with whom we live create the atmosphere of home more than its decoration or spatial features. Yet, significant number of respondents stated that they may need assistance of experts in forming their apartment.
