A settlement is a space with cultural, social and spiritual dimensions and has always been made by human activity. For planning of its future, it is very important to know the relationship between the settlement and its population. All citizens are harmonized with the territory in which they live according to the values, which they accept as features of their relationship to the closest environment. Strengthening of individuality, loss of social cohesion, weakening of social capital and civil society are becoming a serious social problem which weakens the relationship of man to the settlement and landscape. The result of strong residential identity is patriotism and civic pride in the territory in which people live and carry out their daily activities. Therefore, the aim of this paper is an analysis of residential identity and its manifestations in a particular model area, which will be based on extensive field research. The result of the paper will be a comparison of residential identity of the indigenous and allochthonous population and their integration in the municipality. The aim of this paper is to analyse the residential identity and its description in a particular study area (the suburbs of the city of Nitra).
