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 .
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.
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.
The feeling of optimism that followed the COP 21 Paris Conference on Climate Change requires concrete action and steadfast commitment to a process that raises a number of crucial challenges: ...technological, political, social, and economic. As climate change worsens, new robust leadership is imperative. This title examines why a close collaboration between the EU and China may result in the necessary impetus to solidify a vision and a roadmap for our common future in the Anthropocene.
Enaindvajseto stoletje je začetek nove dobe, v kateri bo treba k urbanemu razvoju na mednarodni in nacionalni ravni, k enakosti, kontinuiteti, sposobnosti ter administraciji s številnimi akterji in ...sistemi naselij pristopiti z novo etiko upravljanja naselij. Koncept trajnostnega razvoja je bil prvič predstavljen na konferenci o nacionalnem razvoju in okolju leta 1992 v Riu de Janeiru (znani tudi pod imenom »Earth Summit«), kjer so sprejeli akcijski načrt Agenda 21. Ta obsežni dokument določa dolžnosti vlad, nevladnih organizacij, lokalnih oblasti, organov Organizacije združenih narodov, razvojnih organizacij ter vseh oseb in ustanov, ki vplivajo na okolje. Na tej podlagi pričujoča raziskava ocenjuje rastočo potrebo po urbani preobrazbi v Turčiji na različnih ravneh v okviru lokalne agende 21, pri kateri lahko sodelujejo različni akterji. Prispevek se teh vprašanj ne loteva le s stališča države, temveč tudi s stališča vseh akterjev, ki so jim bile dodeljene dolžnosti. Preučuje filozofijo programa lokalne agende 21 in njegovo izvajanje v občini Harran ter tudi raven doseženih ciljev lokalne agende 21 v Turčiji in politike, povezane z obravnavanim primerom. V prispevek so vključeni predlogi, ki bodo vsem lokalnim oblastem v Turčiji omogočili, da bodo lahko pregledale svoje programe v okviru akcijskega načrta lokalna agenda 21 in tako sodelovale v procesu urbane preobrazbe, razvile lokalne politike trajnostnega razvoja ter pripravile kratkoročne in dolgoročne načrte za reševanje težav.
Avtorica predstavi skupnostno izobraževanje in njegove prednosti kot alternativo oblikam izobraževanja odraslih, ki so bile po pregledu ponudbe izobraževanja odraslih v letu 2007/08 (Brenk, 2007) na ...voljo na trgu. Nadalje na podlagi raziskave prikaže stanje izobraževanja odraslih v podeželski skupnosti. Ves čas zagovarja tezo, da je podeželje postalo prostor, v katerem ima skupnostno izobraževanje velike možnosti postati dejavnik pozitivnih družbenih sprememb. Skupnostno izobraževanje je v prispevku opredeljeno kot oblika izobraževanja, locirana v skupnosti, ki lahko veliko pripomore k ohranjanju obstoječih in graditvi novih socialnih omrežij, aktivaciji krajanov za sodelovanje v skupnosti in k trajnostnemu razvoju podeželskih skupnosti.
The Urgency of Climate Change addresses a pivotal challenge for the sustainability of our planet. This topic was selected for the inaugural conference in 2015 of an annual series on the Integrity of ...Creation. The essays in this collection were selected in a peer-reviewed manner and appeal to a general audience. The chapters move from general to more specific points of view, with a discussion at the end of each section addressing the global impact of climate change. The first section sets the Context for the discussion, explaining that the climate is an indispensable common good. The part on Science emphasises that empirical reality must guide any analysis of the climate as a matter of basic knowledge and comprehension. A crucial implication is whether the climate is sufficiently robust for the Earth to flourish for millennia ahead, as discussed in the part on Sustainability. In turn, these sections raise pivotal questions, regarding Ethics about social obligations for the planet to flourish and regarding Religion to foster global stewardship. Finally, this alignment of Ethics and Religion around the problems related to Science and Sustainability leads to the final section on Law that considers policy possibilities to effectively engage Climate Change.
