To be as effective as possible, approaches to the provision of safety and security must be tailored to the needs of local communities and residents’ expectations. The paper presents findings of a survey on Slovenian residents’ (n = 1,062) satisfaction with the provision of security and their feelings of safety in the local environment. The research aimed to determine how satisfied are residents with safety in general and security institutions in their local communities and whether there are any differences in these perceptions between residents from different local communities in terms of their degree of urbanisation. The results showed that regarding the provision of security, respondents are most satisfied with the work of police and less with the wardens and the local municipality government. Respondents are the least satisfied with security institutions in rural parts of Slovenia. At the same time, we did not find any significant differences between residents’ satisfaction with security institutions in more urbanised parts of the country. Most respondents feel very safe, but residents living in individual houses feel safer than respondents from multi-apartment buildings.
