Contemporary Slovene rural areas as multifunctional localities with heterogeneous and mosaic structures and, exposed to enormous restructuring, are trapped between traditional processes and ...structures on one side and modern development processes on the other. Goriška (predominately a rural area) is part of a strongly integrated cross-border region with a very diverse geographical structure, huge historical, cultural and natural heritage and a significant share of LFAs with increasing levels of inter-regional disparities. This paper focuses on networking of SMEs in these Slovene rural areas. The results confirm the complex nature of the relationships between favourable business environments (built-up and supportive business milieu) and processes of embeddedness and international integration.
Sodobno slovensko podeželje kot večfunkcijski prostor z izjemno heterogeno in mozaično strukturo doživlja velike spremembe, saj je ujeto med kolesje tradicionalnih procesov in struktur ter sodobnih razvojnih procesov. Goriška statistična regija (»pretežno podeželsko območje«) ima kot del močno povezanega čezmejnega območja zelo raznoliko geografsko strukturo, bogato zgodovinsko, naravno in kulturno dediščino, omejene, a specifične pogoje za kmetovanje in se sooča s pomembnimi medregionalnimi razlikami. Članek se osredotoča na vzpostavitev mrežnih povezav majhnih in srednjevelikih podjetij na podeželju. Rezultati potrjujejo zapleten sistem odnosov med podjetniškim okoljem (grajenim in spodbudnim) in vpetostjo v lokalno okolje na eni in vključenostjo v mednarodne tokove na drugi strani.
The book offers multi-layered responses to the scope and causes of spatial, as well as social, economic and physiognomic changes in the cultural landscape in Slovenian countryside. It presents the ...results of an interdisciplinary research approach to recognising spatial change and trends within a two-year research project entitled “The Transformation of the Landscape by Agricultural Modernisation and Changes in Settlement Patterns”, which was financed by the Slovenian Research Agency and the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning of the Republic of Slovenia within the target research programme Slovenian Competitiveness 2006–2013. Similar research was carried out in three pilot areas, selected because they captured a cross section of typical Slovenian landscape macro-units (Mediterranean, Dinaric, Alpine and Pannonian), while also covering the processes of intensification and marginalisation.
Since Slovenia's independence, new economic and social policies have been influencing settlement patterns. Processes which had in fact begun earlier have intensified and deepened during this period, ...and differences within the country have become greater. The findings from this study could help support a more active land use policy and achieve a better understanding of the structure of built areas within rural settlements.
Monitoring the transformation of the Slovene countryside revealed that there are relatively heavily urbanized flatland and valley areas, and on the other, peripheral areas where depopulation and the ...disintegration of the cultural landscape are increasingly pronounced.For the evaluation of the countryside and its typological division, objective criteria are selected that reflect the natural conditions, the principal characteristics of agriculture, and the fundamental demographic, economic, functional, housing, infrastructural, and environmental conditions. Overall, the evaluation is based on the level of individual settlements which enables thorough spatial differentiation. A complex evaluation is carried out by establishing the value and representation of individual groups of parameters and their corresponding weights. On the basis of partial syntheses, two synthetic maps of developmental movements in the countryside are presented that provide a solid foundation in the effort to ensure harmonious regional development.
V prispevku je predstavljen poskus opredelitve sodobnih problemov razvoja kulturne pokrajine slovenskega podeželja, ki so posledica učinkov treh faz družbeno-ekonomskega, prostorskega in poltičnega ...razvoja Slovenije. Med problemi najbolj izstopajo: prepočasno odpravljanje neugodne zemljiške strukture, omejene naravne danosti za moderno kmetijstvo in poglabljanje regionalnih razlik v gospodarski razvitosti Slovenije, s čemer je povezan tudi proces razpadanja podeželske kulturne pokrajine na perifernih območjih.
Vloga kmetijstva na podeželju se je bistveno spremenila, celo povečala, saj se je kmetijstvu pričelo pripisovati številne nove funkcije, od socialne do ekološke. Z vključitvijo v EU in uveljavljanjem ...Skupne kmetijske politike prihaja do velikih sprememb tudi v slovenskem kmetijstvu, njegovi usmeritvi, stopnji intenzivnosti, velikostni in posestni strukturi. Vprašanje pa je, ali je smer razvoja kmetijstva v Sloveniji v skladu z varovanjem in ohranjanjem naših ključnih naravnih virov?
