Abstract

This paper is based on 3 sequential stages of empirical research (qual->quant->qual), devoted to the analysis of intraurban moving of Moscow residents. At the first stage (qual), the analysis of housing trajectories of the XX century in Moscow was carried out on the materials of biographical interviews. As a result, a typology of intraurban movings of the Moscow residents was developed. It was shown that during Soviet times moving were predominantly mediated by external circumstances and decisions “from the top” (squeezing of flats, “gave an apartment”).The typology of moving is the basis for the second stage of data collection – a questionnaire for the online survey with 153 respondents (quant). Based on the cluster analysis, we shown that modern movings are connected to the desire to improve housing conditions, to find a living place corresponding to his family type and a way of life.At the third stage, 16 informants of 18-30 years were selected out of 153 online respondents. Semi-formalized biographical interviews (qual) were conducted with them, detailing the topic of moving and the meanings of current housing. The data has shown that for young people, the dwelling retains the function of the traditional “home” (for such practices as sleep, storage of things, etc.), while simultaneously acquiring the significance of the “work area” (computer work, creativity) as well as “public site”, where young people practice collective actions.
