This article presents modelling results of accessibility to public transport using the PTAL method (Public Transport Accessibility Level) on the case of Ljubljana. The method takes into account the ...spatial accessibility to bus stops as well as the frequency of bus rides. It was adapted to the ArcGIS software; then, the accessibility was calculated with a network analysis based on the network of footpaths. The results demonstrate notable spatial differences in accessibility to public city bus transport in Ljubljana: it is the best in the wider city centre and along most of the main arterial roads and the poorest in less densely inhabited city outskirts. Accessibility to public transport was analysed in more detail in selected residential areas, educational, and commercial hubs, revealing a lesser accessibility to more recently constructed buildings. In addition, certain inconsistencies appeared between the accessibility to public transport and the parking zones determined in the Implementation Spatial Plan of the City Municipality of Ljubljana. Despite a few deficiencies, the PTAL method is an important step on the road to a more integral accessibility modelling.The method could also be used for spatial planning in other larger Slovenian cities as the basis for determining the appropriate construction density and parking norms or for optimizing public transport networks.
Namen prispevka je osvetliti prepoznavanje razvojnih potencialov v izbranih zavarovanih območjih: Triglavski narodni park (TNP), Krajinski park Goričko (KPG) in Krajinski park Logarska dolina (KPLD). ...Zaznavanje razvojnih potencialov se v izbranih parkih razlikuje, kar smo ugotovili s pomočjo anketiranja domačinov in obiskovalcev. Na podlagi njihovih odgovorov in analize stanja so bili določeni razvojni potenciali, ki so v skladu z naslednjimi načeli: izhajajo iz lokalnih virov, so v skladu z veljavno zakonodajo in so trajnostno usmer-jeni.
The monograph treats an environmental interpretation which is not only one of the most effective processes for informing and raising the awareness of visitors to and residents of protected areas, but ...also one of the most demanding and complex ones. The case of the Ljubljana Moor (Ljubljansko barje) is used to analyze the relationship between people and nature from various perspectives and to present a possible approach to interpreting this cultural landscape. In 2008, the area was protected and designated the Ljubljansko barje Landscape park. A detailed analysis of the Iška River basin was performed in order to demonstrate how various interpretation tools can be used to interpret the environment for real and virtual visitors in various age groups.
The article outlines several structural and cultural characteristics of Slovenian society, starting with the most important determinant, a description of Slovenian traditional subsistence model, ...followed by descriptions of settlement pattern and spatial policies, characteristics of and perceptions of the political system and state apparatus, and the attitudes, norms, and values of the population. The analysis reveals traits that could enable the emergence of authoritarian rule. These traits have been gaining in strength since the start of the great recession of 2008. However, the weakening national identity, proportional democracy, and fragmentation of society seem to prevent the rise of a dominant, all-encompassing authoritarian leader who would be able to dismantle distrusted institutions of liberal democracy.
