Perception of Tyumen residents of socio-cultural traditions of Roma (based on questionnaire surveys)

The article reveals the attitude of city residents to representatives of three Gypsy groups living in Tyumen, to their culture and traditions. Representatives of the Gypsy ethnic group continue to be quite closed and insular communities, which is due to the continuing socio-cultural traditions of the Gypsies, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, to stereotypes that have developed under the influence of the media. These and other factors do not contribute to their integration into modern society. A quantitative survey using a standardized questionnaire was defined as a research method; a quota sampling scheme was implemented. The total sample size of the survey was 532 respondents in 2025 and 502 respondents in 2025. The results of the research revealed heterogeneity of assessments on most questions characterizing the attitude towards representatives of Roma communities; in the coming years, an increase in positive assessments of public opinion towards representatives of the Roma population and their socio-cultural traditions can be expected
