Sčítanie ľudu z roku 1930 ako prameň pri výskume štruktúry rodiny

Year, pages: 2002, 25 - 44

Two major lines can be traced in the article. The first one deals with a critical view on population census as a source in the area of ethnological and social-historical research, while the second concentrates on the use of this source in the family structure research according to the theory of ecotypes. The official count of inhabitants of a certain region or country or census provides an insight into the structure of the population in a special time instant. As a source of information the census offers the benefit of using statistical quantifying methods during the evaluation procedure. At the same time it allows the concentration on the individual cases. The theoretical base of this article is the concept of ecotypes enriched by the results originating from fieldwork in the Nord-western Slovak region Kysuce, Nová Bystrica village. The combination of quantitative as well as qualitative sources allowed to show the family structure in the first half of 20th century and its relationship to labour organisation in agricultural society connected with the natural environment.
