SLOVAKIA; CZECHOSLOVAKIA; KOSICE (Slovakia)

This study discusses the cultural and social life of Roma in the currently largest Roma housing estate in Slovakia, in the city district of Košice - Lunik IX. The aim was to identify and describe transformations in the cultural and social life of Roma, as well as in the field of preservation and development, culture, and language in the locality from 1993 to 2023. The aim of this work was to provide the reader with an authentic view of the assessment of the cultural heritage of the Roma since the time of the change from Czechoslovakia to an independent Slovak Republic and the development of cultural and social changes on the part of the Roma themselves living on Lunik IX. The research part includes an analysis of semi-structured interviews with 14 Roma respondents from Lunik IX. Subsequently, an analysis and evaluation were carried out. This study presents a survey of the cultural and social life of Roma from Lunik IX during the 30 years of independent existence of the Slovak Republic in Slovakia, which was probably carried out for the first time. The results brought a new, interesting insight into the studied site, but also on the overall cultural and social life of the Roma and the preservation of their traditions, which can be considered the greatest benefit of this work.
