摘要：The main aim of the paper was to explore whether the solidarity scene in Split had some of the basic characteristics of the solidarity economy concept. The research encompassed the key actors of the solidarity scene in Split, i.e. we used a purposive sample combined with the snowball method that contained 21 persons holding managerial positions in 9 organizations of various legal and organizational form (e.g. associations, cooperatives, political initiatives, companies). Semi-structural interviews were conducted, and the data was analyzed in the computer program for analyzing qualitative data (Atlas.ti), using the thematic analysis method. The analysis revealed six themes through which the interviewees were describing their activity in the field of solidarity and attitudes to their own social contribution and the solidarity economy concept. These themes were: the field of work, definitions of solidarity economy, work organization, decision making structure, public policies advocacy and social contribution. It has been discovered that some of the unavoidable elements of the Split’s solidarity scene correspond to some of the basic characteristics of the solidarity economy concept and that the key actors in the field are having a hard time identifying themselves with the concept.
