Tema prispevka so potovalne navade mladih v Sloveniji v zadnjih tridesetih letih in poskus pojasnitve razlogov za njihove popolnoma spremenjene potovalne vzorce. V prispevku se osredotočamo na ...potovalne navade osnovnošolcev, ki so posebna skupina udeležencev v prometu in uporabnikov mestnega prostora. Primerjamo podatke iz let 1991, 2001 in 2016 o potovalnih navadah osnovnošolcev, lastništvu osebnih avtomobilov, lokacijah osnovnih šol in velikosti šolskih okolišev ter prometni ureditvi v okolici osnovnih šol. V prispevku ugotavljamo, da rezultati v Sloveniji sovpadajo z ugotovitvami iz tujine. Velike spremembe v potovalnih vzorcih otrok časovno sovpadajo z intenzivno motorizacijo slovenskih mest, ki je dosegla večje razsežnosti kot v marsikateri razvitejši državi. Povečano lastništvo avtomobilov se kaže v njihovi povečani rabi. Aktivnosti, ki trenutno potekajo na šolah na področju urejanja prometa, ne prispevajo k ustavitvi tega trenda. Potrebna bo sprememba v paradigmi prometne varnosti. Ukvarjanje z mobilnostjo otrok mora postati del celostnega prometnega načrtovanja, ki si mora prizadevati za zmanjšanje in umirjanje osebnega motornega prometa v okolici šol z vzpostavljanjem razmer, ki niso prijazne uporabi osebnih motornih vozil in spodbujajo varno rabo aktivnih alternativ.
The paper presents the results of the application of a practical approach for collecting data, which provides a simple, cost efficient, and easily reproducible method that was applied to obtain the ...necessary data for the status analysis of the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) for Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro. Important data for the estimation of the existing condition of the traffic system were collected through desk research from the appropriate institutions and organizations. Several surveys and focus group interviews were conducted, in which about 5000 residents of Podgorica participated. In addition to answering questions, residents made numerous suggestions, confirming the correctness of a participatory approach in the new traffic planning paradigm that provides the SUMP with crucial advantages. A manual cordon count of traffic on five bridges for the traffic of the motor vehicles, as well as on two pedestrian-only bridges, was performed by students from the study program Road Traffic, and there are plans to repeat this in the coming years in order to enable more reliable monitoring and evaluation of the obtained data. Contemporary quality management tools such as BYPAD and ParkPAD were also used to assess the status of cycling and parking policy, respectively. It is especially important to emphasize that Podgorica is the first city in the West Balkans, and the fourth city in Europe, in which the ParkPAD tool was applied. A wide range of negative phenomena and trends was identified, like a rapid increase in the number of registered vehicles, an increase in the motorization rate and the number of traffic accidents, increased non-compliance with traffic rules, excessive use of passenger cars and auto-taxi vehicles, insufficient use of unattractive public transport, walking and cycling, etc. Based on the data collected, key challenges in status analysis in Podgorica were identified, which the SUMP should try to overcome.
Rad predstavlja rezultate studije o standardima parkiranja provedene između stručnjaka uključenih u razvoj prostornih planova općina te daje pregled standarda parkiranja u više od 50 općina u ...Sloveniji. Unatoč činjenici da je problem parkirnih površina u gradovima velik izazov na koji treba odgovoriti, ova studija pokazuje da stručnjaci još uvijek nemaju dovoljno razvijenu svijest o načinima rješavanja tih problema.

The paper presents the results of a study on parking standards conducted among the experts involved in developing municipal spatial plans, along with an overview of parking standards in more than 50 municipalities in Slovenia. The study shows that, although parking problems pose a considerable challenge in towns and cities, the experts’ awareness of how to use parking standards to meet these challenges, is still not sufficiently developed.
This article explores the travel habits of young people in Slovenia over the past thirty years and seeks to explain the reasons for a complete change in their travel patterns. It focuses on the ...travel habits of primary school pupils as a special group of traffic participants and urban space users. We compared data from 1991, 2001 and 2016 on primary school pupils’ travel habits, car ownership, school locations and catchment area sizes, along with traffic regulation around primary schools. Based on this, we established that the patterns for Slovenia correspond to patterns from abroad. The substantial changes in children’s travel patterns coincide with the intense motorisation of Slovenian towns, which has grown to proportions that even exceed those in many developed countries. This increase in car ownership is reflected in growing car use. The activities currently carried out in schools regarding traffic management are not helping stop this trend. A change is required in the traffic safety paradigm. Consideration of children’s mobility must become part of comprehensive transport planning, which should be geared towards reducing and calming traffic in school areas by setting up infrastructure that discourages car use and encourages safe alternatives.
Razprava o gradnji omrežja hitrih železniških povezav na ozemlju RS postaja po vstopu Slovenije v EU vse aktualnejša. Na pobudo Italije se razpravlja predvsem o podaljšanju hitre železniške proge v ...V. prometnem koridorju iz Trsta prek Slovenije proti vzhodu. To smer povezovanja prevzemajo tudi prostorski in prometni strateški dokumenti RS, čeprav so se v strokovni javnosti pojavljali dvomi o smotrnosti izgradnje tovrstnega omrežja na našem ozemlju pa tudi o primernosti povezovanja v smeri V. koridorja. V prispevku želimo s pregledom strateških in programskih dokumentov s področja razvoja železniške infrastrukture v RS in EU argumentirati potrebo po čimprejšnji celostni presoji razvojnih možnosti hitrih železniških povezav na ozemlju RS in opredelitvi nacionalnega interesa na tem področju.
This paper is based on research carried out in an EU Framework project, concerning the better integration of mobility management (MM) with land use planning. The objective of the paper is to analyse ...how, and how far, policies in this field of action can transfer from one member state to another, and to compare this to the theory of policy transfer put forward by
Dolowitz and Marsh (2000), using their theory as an analytical framework, but also informing that theory. After providing a definition of this form of integration, the paper explains how far MM and land use planning are currently integrated in the EU member and other states covered in the research (Sweden, Germany, Spain, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Switzerland, the UK, as well as Ireland and the Netherlands). It then presents the results of planning simulation workshops in five of these countries, where a group of planning professionals from each state considered real development sites and how MM could be integrated with the development. It shows that there is scope for transfer but concludes that barriers such as language, differing planning traditions, and the problem of transferring a new policy idea within a country will limit the scope of policy transfer significantly. Nonetheless, it sees a role for EU projects of this nature in encouraging initial consideration of new policy ideas.
► Integration of mobility management and planning as an example of policy transfer. ► Case studies of 5 planning simulation workshops across Europe. ► Major barriers to transfer exist: legal, cultural, and awareness. ► Policy transfer within a country is as important as transfer between countries. ► EU projects can begin process of policy transfer.
The debate about building a network of high speed railway connections on Slovene territory after full membership in the EU is becoming ever more pending. Following the Italian initiative discussions ...are mainly focused on the extension of the high speed railway in the 5th transport corridor from Trieste, across Slovenia, eastwards. This route has also been adopted in national strategic physical and transport development documents, although the professional public voiced its doubts about the feasibility of such a network in our territory, as well as suitability of connections in the 5th corridor. With a review of strategic and programme documents concerning development of railway infrastructure in Slovenia and the EU the article gives argumentation for necessary immediate comprehensive assessment of development possibilities of high speed connections in Slovenia and the definition of pertaining national interests.
The article presents the LEDA research project that dealt with legal measures needed to achieve sustainable traffic in European cities. The participants in the project gathered and analysed ...operational legal measures in European cities. The results showed what are the needed conditions for successful measures, which measures are often used and which are not, as well as the possibilities for their transfer to other cities and countries.
