V članku so analizirane prednosti in slabosti, ki izhajajo iz uporabe avtomobilskega prevoza v turizmu. Pri tem je posebna pozornost namenjena analizi problemov odvisnosti turizma od avtomobilskega ...prometa. Predstavljeni so dejavniki, ki potencialno zavirajo razvoj novih oblik turistične ponudbe, ki bi temeljila na bolj trajnostni rabi potencialov Slovenije kot zelene destinacije. Analiza temelji na uporabi vrste podatkov iz uradnih statistik (SURS, Eurostat, Direkcija RS za infrastrukturo), ki jih dopolnjujejo podatki in ugotovitve iz drugih raziskav s področja prometa in turizma. Pomemben del analize predstavlja tudi analiza vrednotnih orientacij prebivalstva Slovenije v odnosu na percepcijo vloge turizma in prometa.
Urbane kreativne dejavnosti so bile v tranzicijskem obdobju intenzivnih prostorskih in gospodarskih sprememb v Sloveniji pogosto predstavljene kot pomemben razvojni dejavnik, ki bo omogočil ...reurbanizacijo in revitalizacijo številnih območij opuščenih industrijskih dejavnosti. Pogosto so bili to razmeroma spontani, nenačrtovani procesi prostorskega in gospodarskega razvoja degradiranih območij, pri čemer so razni kreativni posamezniki in skupine po načelu od spodaj navzgor izvajali postopne revitalizacije nekdanjih industrijskih območij. Članek analizira vlogo kreativnih dejavnosti pri revitalizaciji degradiranih območij na podlagi razvoja mehkih (družbenih) dejavnikov ali socialnih mrež ali omrežij. Pri tem izpostavlja težavo, da lokalni organi in državni institucionalni akterji ne zaznavajo kreativnih socialnih mrež, nimajo ustreznega pristopa do njih ali jih premalo upoštevajo pri razvoju teh območij. Na podlagi polstrukturiranih intervjujev je predstavljen primer nekdanje Tobačne tovarne kot vzorčni primer postopnega kopičenja socialnega kapitala, vezanega na socialne mreže, ki pa se ob procesih novega gospodarsko-prostorskega prestrukturiranja območja dojema kot nepotreben element prenove.
This article analyzes the key features of the spatial distribution of creative industries in Ljubljana and the Ljubljana urban region. Special attention is devoted to analyzing factors that influence ...the concentration of individual branches of creative industries in specific locations. GIS tools were applied to evaluate factors that influence the distribution of creative activities. Simultaneously, the concept of central places is used to analyze variations of spatial clustering of creative enterprises. Data for the analysis were collected from the Slovenian Business Register (AJPES) and the Real Estate Register (GURS). The mapping of creative economies identifies patterns of concentration and reveals some locational disadvantages that have arisen due to the absence of clear development strategies regarding creative economies in Slovenia.
This study investigated the effect of type 1 gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor (GnRH-R) localization within lipid rafts on the properties of plasma membrane (PM) nanodomain structure. Confocal ...microscopy revealed colocalization of PM-localized GnRH-R with GM
-enriched raft-like PM subdomains. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) of a membrane-partitioned spin probe was then used to study PM fluidity of immortalized pituitary gonadotrope cell line αT3-1 and HEK-293 cells stably expressing GnRH-R and compared it with their corresponding controls (αT4 and HEK-293 cells). Computer-assisted interpretation of EPR spectra revealed three modes of spin probe movement reflecting the properties of three types of PM nanodomains. Domains with an intermediate order parameter (domain 2) were the most affected by the presence of the GnRH-Rs, which increased PM ordering (order parameter (S)) and rotational mobility of PM lipids (decreased rotational correlation time (τc)). Depletion of cholesterol by methyl-β-cyclodextrin (methyl-β-CD) inhibited agonist-induced GnRH-R internalization and intracellular Ca
activity and resulted in an overall reduction in PM order; an observation further supported by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of model membrane systems. This study provides evidence that GnRH-R PM localization may be related to a subdomain of lipid rafts that has lower PM ordering, suggesting lateral heterogeneity within lipid raft domains.
Analysis of social networks in areas undergoing intense urban transformations are becoming an ever more important topic in spatial planning. The growing attenti- on given to social networks is due to ...the rise of problems and conflicts stemming from disregard of the ‘soft’, i.e. social, components in the local environment. The problem of stakeholders’ participation and empowerment in spatial planning is, in fact, one of ignoring or not recognising the importance of the social networks that exist between actors in space. The article analyses the roles and meanings of social networks with respect to the development of certain types of socio-economic activities in former industrial areas. Using data collected from semi-structured in- terviews in the area of former Tobacco Factory in Ljubljana, it analyses the types, intensity and expansion of social networks.
On the declarative level, immovable (physical) cultural heritage is a convenient subject of a variety of programmes, conservation approaches and legislative processes supposedly tied to ...sustainability development plans. The declarativeness of immovable cultural heritage integration processes is often exposed in spatial antagonisms based on frictions between local communities on one side and, on the other, conservation approaches, the development aspirations of investors, political structures and other actors who seek to assert their particular interests and needs. The paper analyses the mentioned frictions through the prism of "new localism" trends and connects them to the findings of several Slovenian case studies.
