Degradirana območja so neustrezno izkoriščeni deli pokrajine, ki s primerno ureditvijo in upravljanjem predstavljajo potencial za trajnostno rabo. Enotna, celovita in ažurna evidenca degradiranih ...območij je le začetna faza pri doseganju tega cilja. V prispevku je predstavljena identifikacija, inventarizacija ter geografsko vrednotenje degradiranih območij v Gorenjski, Osrednjeslovenski, Zasavski in Spodnjeposavski statistični regiji ter v statistični regiji Jugovzhodna Slovenija.

V članku so analizirane izbrane socialne in demografske značilnosti občin Spodnjega Posavja na osnovi modela trajnostnega razvoja na lokalni ravni. Cilj članka je predstaviti omenjeni model ter ...njegove prednosti in slabosti v primerjavi z ostalimi načini merjenja trajnostnega razvoja na lokalni ravni. Izbrani socialno-demografski del modela predstavlja del nadgradnje dosedanjim modelom trajnostnega razvoja na tem nivoju.
Pomembna vizija trajnostnega razvoja (TR), ki velja za ves sistem izobraževanja, je celostni razvoj posameznika, ki bi ga lahko videli kot tri med seboj prepletena področja: razvoj znanja in ...spretnosti za potrebe dela; pridobivanje veščin, lastnosti in zmožnosti za kakovost življenja ter nabiranje znanja in spretnosti za življenje v družbi. Posebej se bomo ukvarjali z zadnjim področjem. Odrasli naj bi ob pomoči formalnega in/ali neformalnega izobraževanja postajali bolj zavzeti državljani, kar običajno opisujemo kot »biti dejaven in odgovoren«, sodelovati v soodločanju o skupnih zadevah. Pri tem je predpogoj za vzpostavljanje takšne, trajnostno naravnane družbe nenehno osebno izpopolnjevanje v znanjih in določenih spretnostih, ki bodo omogočale trajnostno ravnanje pri slehernem posamezniku. Prav zato je sestavni del vizije in vrednot trajnostnega razvoja tudi učenje v vseh življenjskih obdobjih. Ob tem idealu pa se že takoj zastavljajo vprašanja: koliko so izobraževalci, bodisi izobraževalci mladine bodisi izobraževalci odraslih, zdaj osveščeni in seznanjeni s ključnimi predvidevanji strategije trajnostnega razvoja? Katera znanja in veščine so v tem okviru predpogoj in koliko sami ravnajo v duhu trajnosti?
Within this research paper, the enforcement of agricultural policy measures for farms that have their agricultural lands within the Radensko Polje Landscape Park (RPLP) were studied. The purpose of ...the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the additional payment for the extensive rearing of female bovine animals (ERB) and agrienvironmental measures (AE measures) in terms of maintaining extensive agricultural systems or transitions from intensive systems to sustainable ones. This is especially desirable in the protected areas that also include landscape parks. The results of the survey of farmers of RPLP showed that both the ERB and AE measures are inefficient and fail to encourage farmers to implement more extensive farming. The main reasons for the poor enforcement of claims for ERB are intensive livestock production (milk production or bovine animals fattening), and the lack of information about the possibility of claim enforcement for ERB. Regarding AE measures, the main reasons for the failure are burdensome conditions and low financial compensation. Inventories of the composition of plant species on sample grasslands showed that the conditions of the habitats are still relatively good, because a relatively large number of species of high conservation value is present.
Razvoj spoznanj o preobremenjenosti naravnega okolja oziroma omejenih samočistilnih sposobnosti ekosistemov je od zavedanja stanja iz pred petdesetih let pa do danes privedel do ključnih smernic, ki ...bi jih morali upoštevati programi vzgoje in izobraževanja na vseh ravneh. Koncept okoljske vzgoje se je v teh letih razširil v vzgojo in izobraževanje za trajnostni razvoj, ki zdaj posega v vse razsežnosti človekovega življenja in delovanja. Žal pa ravnanje še ne dosega pričakovanj, ki jih moramo kot družba zagotavljati za trajnostno prihodnost zaradi odgovornosti do prihodnjih generacij. To smo potrdili z raziskavo o uporabi pitne vode kot enega ključnih kazalnikov doseganja ciljev vzgoje in izobraževanja za trajnostni razvoj.
The monograph ('Protection and sustainable development of a cultural landscape: the case of Ljubljana Moor') introduces research findings about the structure and functions of the Ljubljana Moor ...(Ljubljansko barje) cultural landscape. This landscape is composed of a plain with isolated hills (inselbergs) and hills on the outskirts. Floods are still frequent. Due to its exceptional biodiversity, in 2008 the area was proclaimed a landscape park. In the study we identified 28 landscape elements in 3 pilot sites – depending on the geological substratum, water, and land use – which contribute to landscape diversity. Payments to farmers have a significant impact on land use which influences greatly land cultivation and sustainable breeding, while these have a considerably lower influence on the preservation of semi natural landscape elements. We discovered that in terms of sustainability the key tendency is to strive to such a landscape diversity that ensures optimum landscape functioning and various ecosystem services.The analysis of landscape changes over 4 study periods showed that, initially, agriculture, settlement, and water management were the main drivers~however, over recent decades the importance of nature protection and tourism has increased. In today’s landscape there are two conflicting trends: intensification and land abandonment .
V prispevku je predstavljeno sodelovanje šol pri okoljskem razvoju občin kot posledica projekta EUBIS. V ta namen smo z izbranimi šolami vodili izdelavo učne pot v občini Radlje ob Dravi, izdelali ...priročnik za medpredmetno okoljsko vzgojo s šolo v Murski Soboti in vključili OŠ Muta v pripravo evropskih projektov, na način, da je šola stalni partner dogodkov, ki se ob izvajanju teh projektov dogajajo. S tem smo uspeli potrditi tezo, da imajo šole velik potencial, ki je premalo izkoriščen v lokalnem okolju.
This book will appeal to scholars and policymakers who deal with and/or are conducting research on the factors of economic growth. At present, there is no unified growth model that is feasible for ...every investigation. As such, this volume offers key insights into the factors that are most relevant in explaining growth variation at country, regional and metropolitan levels. In order to acquaint the reader with the concepts related to the subject, two theoretical chapters detail the schools of thought and the models that were formulated in the past. Three empirical chapters then present an up-to-date and a multi-level investigation, using the most comprehensive models, for the European Union. The results of this book are policy-oriented and will serve to help close the gaps between EU countries and regions.
