Abstract

Research on security encompasses various issues and aspects. The link between migration and security can also be considered from different angles. This article makes accent on the analysis of general security perceived by population living in border regions through six most important socio-economic issues. For each issue a correlation analysis was performed to define subgroups of population for whom these issues are of greater importance. The analysis was based on the socio-demographic characteristics – gender, age, education, material position and ethnicity. The general evaluation of attitudes of population towards migration is presented as well, along with regression analysis, defining characteristics and determinants, contributing to or impeding the formation of security feelings.
