The plan of spatial arrangement, which was given to us by the real estate developer to asses (environmental report and the estimation of the susceptibility of impacts on protected areas), deals with ...80 hectars of the north-western part of Lipica Stud Farm, which covers the area of the existing golf course as well as the area of its foreseen expansion. We tried to establish, describe and evaluate all the important aspects of plan realization, taking into consideration all of the environmental goals and area characteristics based on the different segments of the environment. A major impact would be seen only in the potentially special protected area of Kras, more precisely on the group of beetles, among which we stress “Morimus funereus” as the qualification bird species of Natura 2000. We suggested the exclusion of 17 hectars of the area from further operations and the establishment of the new distribution of some individual golf-fields. The improved suggestion incorporates the exclusion of a stripe of the western part of the area in question, where there is a habitat of Morimus funereus. This change would also mean the preservation of fossile sites and of maple forests.
Javne politike in z njimi povezani ukrepi prinašajo posledice za prostor, poleg želenih in pričakovanih tudi stranske, posredne in celo nezaželene. Za presojo vplivov na ravni programov in politik ...ter vrednotenje njihovih okoljskih, socialnih in gospodarskih posledic je uveljavljena izdelava celovite oziroma strateške presoje vplivov na okolje. Poleg ugotavljanja vplivov je bistvena korist strateškega presojanja v optimizaciji politik oziroma njihovih ukrepov. Ugotavljanje možnih poti razvoja in ocenjevanje vplivov sta zahtevni nalogi, polni negotovosti, in zahtevata ustvarjalno uporabo in kombinacijo različnega orodja. Med najučinkovitejšim tako za napovedovanje kot povezovanje stališč in iskanje rešitev so scenariji. Uporabljeni so bili tudi pri presoji vplivov železniške proge za velike hitrosti v Sloveniji, kot vhodni podatek za opredelitev ranljivih sestavin okolja. Znanje o spremembah, ki jih je mogoče pričakovati ob načrtovanem razvoju, je osnova za presojo sprejemljivosti okoljskih stroškov, ki je pri strateških ukrepih odvisna tudi od koristi predlaganih ukrepov za širšo družbo.
