  • Zasavje and sustainable developmnet - towards greater justice and equality in the region
    Žnidarič, Davorin ; Lukšič, Andrej
    In the present paper, the authors bring to the fore the development issue of Zasavje as a region that, in the last thirty years, has experienced a fall from the group of more developed regions to the ... group of underdeveloped regions in Slovenia. Jobs have been lost, social problems have deepened, inequality has grown, as has poverty, the region is aging, young people are emigrating, there are not enough new jobs, and the environment has experienced industrial pollution, where the consequences of previous pollution events have not yet been thoroughly rehabilitated, the health condition of the population has been deteriorating accordingly. The key issue for the further development of the region is how to reverse this negative trend. The authors defend the idea of sustainability (reflexive ecological modernisation) and the democratisation of the communication and decision-making process, as well as the establishment of a green public sphere, which would allow hitherto marginalised civil society actors and interdisciplinary perspectives to enter into discussions about the future (forming a vision of development) and later to decide on measures in development police in the region and the municipalities that make it up.
