Cycling has become one of the most sustainable forms of mobility in Europe and around the world, which does not pollute the environment, is economically undemanding and at the same time improves the ...quality of life of its inhabitants. Examples from abroad show an increasing use of the bicycle as the main means of transport, which is also reflected in changes in transport management policies at urban, regional and national level. A well thought-out and safe network of cycle paths in Northern European countries is already reflected in the higher proportion of cycling trips. This article presents different systems for managing bicycle networks in Europe and worldwide, from network design categorisation of bicycle connections to examples of implementation and frequency of use of individual routes. The paper presents documents of the national cycling network in Slovenia in recent years and the results of project CRP V2-1513 (B): Model of the integration of Slovenian bicycle network. Finally, the guidelines for the establishment of the national bicycle network in Slovenia are proposed, because only through good design of the bicycle network can we ensure its usefulness and attractiveness.
This paper presents activities and changes applied to the teaching process within selected courses offered by Faculty of civil and geodetic engineering, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Theoretical ...background, evaluated from the point of the technical education needs, is presented. It can be seen that special focus has to be made to the students' motivation for deep learning which guarantees optimal balance between acquisition of concepts and skills, information processing and integration of fragmented pieces of knowledge into complex structures. Three case studies used to test theoretical points of departure are presented. Results of the introduced novelties and changes have been evaluated through the assessment of knowledge, students' satisfaction and teaching staff evaluations. For conclusive results, monitoring over a longer period of time should be conducted.
Work at home and work from home are becoming the subject of interdisciplinary research in the current social conditions. Slovenia, as a post-transition country, has specific experience in terms of ...its regulation, as the former socialist and later transition period were relatively tolerant of various forms of work at home. The article presents the results of research aimed at studying current normative provisions for the organization of work at home, its actual spatial and program scope, and its correlation with building typology and morphology. Using a descriptive research method and by analyzing existing databases in the GIS environment, we found that work at home is a very extensive phenomenon in Slovenia. Despite the effective instruments in the fields of spatial planning, public administration, tax system, and employment legal relationships, its scope is mainly a consequence of historical tolerance, as this form of work has been legally organized and desirable for decades. We found that various urban characteristics did not significantly affect its occurrence in the past. The differences are reflected only in the extent of business activities that can be carried out in residential areas and differ according to the distance from urban centers. In order for the regulation of work at home to become even more efficient in the future, it is necessary to define more detailed criteria, especially in terms of its program regulation and monitoring of the spatial situation.
The article presents the spatial distribution of business entities in Slovenia from locations in business zones and the areas of community, commerce and business services to work at home. The study ...uses the comparative method to determine their size, location and building typology. It was concluded that the structure is quite diversified and that most of the entities are located in residential areas. This field of study requires a further comprehensive treatment and regulation.
U članku je prikazana prostorna raspodjela poslovnih subjekata u Sloveniji od lokacije u poslovnim zonama, u područjima centralnih djelatnosti, do rada kod kuće. U istraživanju smo koristili komparativnu metodu da utvrdimo njihovo stanje s obzirom na broj, lokaciju i tipologiju zgrada u kojima se nalaze. Ustanovili smo da je struktura vrlo razgranata i da se većina entiteta nalazi u stambenim područjima. To područje u budućnosti zahtijeva cjelovitija istraživanja i reguliranje.
The paper presents the results of a study to define the current size and location of workplaces and business entities in the area. The research was conducted in three stages. In the first step, the ...analysis of the size and distribution of workplaces according to the municipalities in the Republic of Slovenia for the 2007-2019 period was carried out. In the second step, the size and distribution of business entities in the space were examined. In the third step, a more detailed analysis was carried out in the test area of the Osrednjeslovenska statistical region, based on: the location in Ljubljana Urban Municipality (hereinafter referred to as MOL), in the municipalities directly bordering MOL and in the other municipalities of the Osrednjeslovenska statistical region. At this stage we also focused on the sector of activity of business entities. A strong upward trend in workplaces was found in only a few major urban centres along the motorway junction, especially in MOL. The same applies to the concentration of business entities. All this suggests that the existing practice of planning activities in physical space does not follow the strategic orientations of spatial acts, which could better control the spatial processes and their consequences.
Pa vendar je že v prvi polovici dvajsetega stoletja (Burgesov model urbane rabe prostora iz leta 1925) postalo jasno, da je za učinkovitost urbanih sistemov ključnega pomena prav strateško ...načrtovanje dejavnosti v prostoru (Herala, 2003) in njihova prometna dostopnost. Ceprav je neposreden vpliv prikazanega stanja najprej viden na obremenjenosti prometne infrastrukture, pa je težava bistveno kompleksnejša in jo je treba obravnavati širše, na kar bomo opozorili v zaključku ter predlagali nekatere možne sistemske rešitve za decentralizacijo delovnih mest in poslovnih subjektov. 2METODE DELA IN PODATKI Raziskava je bila izvedena na podlagi javno dostopnih (SURS, 2020a; SURS, 2020b) in drugih zbirk javnih podatkov (AJPES, 2019), ki smo jih obdelali s programskim orodjem (ArcGIS). Najprej smo prikazali število delovnih mest po občinah RS za leto 2019 (SURS, zadnji razpoložljivi podatki), nato pa dodali trend spreminjanja števila delovnih mest v občini za celotno obdobje 2007-2019 oziroma za obdobje, odkar je posamezna občina nastala. Trend smo razvrstili v šest (6) razredov po Jenksovi metodi (metoda poišče mesta največje zgostitve podatkov), ki jih lahko opredelimo kot: močna rast, rast, šibka rast, šibek padec, padec, močan padec. V drugem koraku smo preverili obseg in razporeditev poslovnih subjektov po prostoru na podlagi podatkovne baze vseh registriranih poslovnih subjektov v Sloveniji za leto 2019 (AJPES, 2019), ki vključuje tudi lokacijo registracije vsakega poslovnega subjekta.
...very evident is also the demographic growth of these cities their municipalities, (less present in the surroundings of Maribor) and at the same time the rural areas are becoming increasingly less ...populated (Nared et al., 2019), as is the general motorisation of the population (more than 554 cars/1000 inhabitants; SORS, 2021), an inadequate or inefficient public transport system (Tiran et al., 2021), an inadequate transport infrastructure and, consequently, inefficient traffic regulation systems. The survey (PNZ) conducted in 2016 also points to a relatively low percentage of public transport use, as among the respondents an average of only 8% of daily commuters use means of public transport and 74% of them use a car. ...despite the construction of the motorway junction in recent decades and the continuous improvement of urban transport systems, we are still confronted with congestion in transport infrastructure, particularly at the level of regional centres (MzI, 2018), which is reflected in increased traffic flows as well as suburbanisation (Dhval et al., 2021) and the resulting negative impacts on the health and environment, which is also a consequence of the development of economic activities that did not follow the guidelines of sustainable spatial development (Kušar, 2012, p. 116). In many cities, the pace of demographic, economic and administrative expansion as well as other influences such as natural geography on the one hand, and knowledge and governance on the other, are outpacing the financial and spatial capacity to develop the accompanying infrastructure, and are therefore having a major impact on the pace of development and the distribution of spatial activities, as well as on land-use planning (Gu and Chen, 2017). ...despite the implementation of the principles of sustainable development (ESDP, 1999), after two decades we are still confronted with the consequences of inconsistencies between the strategic orientations, the outlined objectives and the actual spatial development. The decentralisation of workplaces and the possibility to work from home (Stern, 2021) will make it possible to reduce daily commuting to towns and cities, while reducing the negative impact of transport.
