The publication “Monitoring and Evaluation of Regional Policy in Slovenia” was prepared on the basis of the Assessment of Instruments and Mechanisms of Regional Policy project intended for designing ...the systems for the mid-term and final evaluation of Slovenia’s regional policy. The project has prepared the basis for monitoring and evaluating the regional policy: we treated the monitoring of the regional policy as an important element in the overall development process because it enables constant supervision of the implementation of the policy and the evaluation of the regional policy as a constant interactive process that enables deliberate planning of activities and their adaptation to changing conditions. We focused on the characteristics of monitoring and evaluation in Slovenia’s regional policy and prepared evaluation models that Slovenia’s regional policy should follow in the future. Designing the models we drew from the existing Slovenian and European formal-legal frameworks for establishing monitoring and evaluation system in the 2007–2013 financial perspective.
This study attempts to illustrate the role of regional policy in the development of spatial structures and simultaneously determine the success and the possibly diverse response of individual ...instruments of regional policy to the structures of problem areas. We established that the influences of the regional policy are relatively minor, a consequence of the scant financial means devoted to the stimulation of regional development, the lack of power of the overall regional policy relative to all development currents introduced by inclusion in the European Union, and very aggressive globalization. However, we are able to cite some of its successes, mostly visible on the local level, although at higher levels their influence weakened. Because the goals of the regional policy in the previous period have not been achieved, we suggest some changes that would either strengthen the current method of stimulating regional development or abandon it altogether and turn toward the active stimulation of the polycentric network of cities that would result in the greater competitiveness of individual centers, which we hope would also have positive effects in their immediate hinterland.
The following pattern is suggested by a survey of the changing position and reputation of Slovenian literary translation alongside native Slovenian literature during their coexistence from their ...beginnings in the mid-16th century to the end of the 20th century:
Naravovarstveno Vrednotenje Avifavne Območja Zadrževalnika Medvedce (SV Slovenija) in Dejavniki Ogrožanja
Nature-conservancy evaluation of the birds of Medvedce reservoir has been implemented on the ...basis of ornithological data gathered during the 2002-2009 period and through application of eight different conservation categories. Two of them provide for the legal protection of birds, four apply to breeding birds with unfavourable conservation status, and two to breeding birds with populations of national concern. Threat factors to the birds of this area have also been defined, as well as their relative significance and extent of impact assessed with the aid of two different methods. In the study area, 57 species were confirmed to breed or probably bred there, 34 (or 59.6%) of which were of conservation importance, and 12 (21.1%) of the greatest conservation importance. Three species met the criteria for their inclusion among the IBA qualifying species: Little Bittern Ixobrychus minutus, Ferruginous Duck Aythya nyroca, and Spotted Crake Porzana porzana. For these species, the area has been denoted as IBA SI027 Črete. In the study area, the Ferruginous Duck is the only breeding bird of global conservation concern. In 20 species, the breeding population size exceeds 5% of Slovenian population, while in 6 species at least a half of the entire national population breeds here. Two species, i.e. Purple Heron Ardea purpurea and Marsh Harrier Circus aeruginosus, are known to breed only at Medvedce reservoir. In Slovenia, this area is the most important for the breeding of at least four species: Gadwall Anas strepera, Pochard Aythya ferina, Ferruginous Duck and Tufted Duck A. fuligula. Seven threat factors have been identified, six of which have a negative impact on at least one of the species of the greatest conservation importance. The factors with the greatest negative impact on the birds of Medvedce reservoir are hunting (currently practiced) and fish farming (potential).
Planerski postopek za načrtovanje avtocest vsebuje vrednotenje variant z namenom izbire najugodnejše. V postopku se uporabljajo določena merila, med katere spada tudi vrednotenja vpliva na regionalni ...in urbani razvoj. Kljub zastavljenim merilom pa izbrane variante največkrat niso usklajene z razvojnimi cilji mest in širših območij – regij, na katere AC vpliva. Članek predstavlja možnost uporabe modelov vpliva AC na razvoj poselitve pri napovedovanju posledic po izgradnji. Modeli temeljijo na poznavanju vplivov že zgrajenih AC, navedeni so primeri iz analize vpliva AC-priključkov na razvoj poselitve. Prostorski modeli so koristno orodje pri napovedovanju sprememb v prostoru oziroma pri simuliranju posledic vpliva projekta na prostor ali njegove posamezne elemente.
