N2 - The study included an examination of user activities at an ecological centre in a major city, as well as the ecological culture that resulted from those actions. Non-participant observation and an offline questionnaire survey with 342 respondents were the methods used to acquire the data. The data is analysed using Jens S. Dangschat's notion of place habitus. The theoretical paradigm of habitus enables to analyse the community's ecological culture. The space itself benefits greatly from visitor behaviours; for example, a normal visitor's path is automated and predictable. Most users regularly come to the center, visit other eco-friendly spaces, and follow this topic on social networks. A significant proportion (47%) of respondents actively pursue environmentally friendly lifestyles, with occasional engagement in environmental organizations and infrequent financial contributions. A smaller but notable group (22%) demonstrates consistent engagement with environmental organizations through frequent visits and financial contributions. The center, with its spatial solutions, quickly places visitors in an ecological culture, which allows us to talk about the integrating role of the center.
