The paper aims to provide a theoretical framework for the sociological study of Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC). Instead of investigating 'Internet use' in terms of the self-fulfilling prophecy of the information-society or the applied discourse of knowledge management, this approach is focused on the real communities that communicate in virtual space. Following Barry Wellman's approach, the paper conceptualizes on-line communication as being integral to the interaction of real social groups, rather than being distinct, virtual universe. The first section aims to provide an overview of the changing concept of community itself; the second section describes the technical specifics that make the Internet an ideal community communication/media platform as well as the forms and distinctive characteristics of on-line communication; the last section traces the effects of CMC on the 'real' life of traditional local communities.

The quality of life is a wide, ambiguous and quite subjective notion, both in the feeling of individuals and larger human communities. The meaning of this notion changes also within the civilization progress. The impact of the environment determines the life plans. Small cities are a good place to live, but not to learn – they are not giving chances of education and personal development.

The article deals with the concept of community organizing. First, the concept is explained from the theoretical point of view, in terms of political (civil) participation as a key prerequisite of substantive democracy and in context of its crisis, both in old democracies and post-communist societies. Later, it is considered as practice in its birthplace, in the American context, where community organizing is remarkably popular and effective. Subsequently, the article is focusing on research the possibility of using this concept in post-communist context, especially in the Slovak society. It shows that the lack of structural base (vibrant civil society in particular) and political legacy of authoritarianism are the main inhibitory factors in the development of civic political culture, which is the key sociocultural prerequisite of political participation, and consequently of community organizing.

This study discusses the use of the social capital concept in relation to the elements of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) and their safeguarding. The author proceeds from theoretical concepts which were employed by some researchers outside ethnological research (P. Bourdieu, Y. F. Fukuyama, R. D. Putnam and others) in the last decades. He highlights one of the basic principles of social capital, which consists of sharing the real and the potential sources, knowledge, and information, which an individual or a group of persons acquire through more or less institutionalized relations. Based on the experience from the national environment (Czech Republic) and an international organization (UNESCO) he contemplates to which extent it is possible to apply the theoretical foundations of social capital on the ICH, where the principle of sharing of and mutual respect to cultural elements is one of the basic theses. The discussion about the social capital concept in social sciences has until now shown how wide the spectrum of possible perspectives is. There is not the only possible determinant interpretation and field. The chosen theme, the methodology, and the discipline’s tradition contribute to different territorial and conceptual adaptations of social capital, which, however, also generates a potential of using this concept in the form of transdisciplinary research. This can be used, in the future, for the study of intangible cultural heritage.
