The paper addresses the issue of the marginalisation of an ethnic group. The example taken is the Czech community in Bratislava in the period from 1919 to 1945, when it underwent processes of adaptation to the new social milieu and marginalisation as a result of political development in Slovakia. The question is how the Slovak environment accepted Czech migrants and how they managed to come to terms with it, how their social acceptation changed, why they became a political problem, how they became a marginalised social group and how the Slovak government, which emerged in 1938 as a result of political changes, took account of them. This paper does not merely aim, however, to analyse the degree of their adaptation and the gradual process of marginalisation: there is also an attempt to make information available about this little-known aspect of the history of the city.

Social changes after the fall of the Communist regime in 1989 and the emergence of foreign companies, investors and development groups led to the rapid building development of the city, which offers an opportunity for an urban-ethnological analysis of the transformation of urban spaces. The author of this paper studied a case related to the transformation of a space considered by the city inhabitants as historically important. He discusses the issues of civic activism in the context of preservation of the historical identity of the city. He seeks answers to the following questions – What kind of processes are in conflict at the macro-level? What is the role of cultural aspects in these processes? What kind of collective identity do active members of a civic group share and demonstrate? The author seeks to grasp the issues of active citizenship through motivations and reasons, particular areas of interest, actual results, and effectiveness of civil activism. He concludes that interventions to preserve the historical identity of urban spaces have mobilised a part of the public and have become one of the incentives of growing civil engagement in the post-socialist period
