  • JULIAN ALPS TRIGLAV NATIONAL PARK 2The Julian Alps
    1 JULIAN ALPS TRIGLAV NATIONAL PARK www.slovenia.info 2The Julian Alps The Julian Alps are the southeast- ernmost part of the Alpine arc and at the same time the mountain range that marks the border between Slo- venia and Italy. They are usually divided into the East- ern and Western Julian Alps. The East- ern Julian Alps, which make up approx- imately three-quarters of the range and cover an area of 1,542 km2, lie entirely on the Slovenian side of the border and are the largest and highest Alpine range in Slovenia. The highest peak is Triglav (2,864 metres), but there are more than 150 other peaks over 2,000 metres high. The emerald river Soča rises on one side of the Julian Alps, in the Primorska re- gion; the two headwaters of the river Sava – the Sava Dolinka and the Sava Bohinjka – rise on the other side, in the Gorenjska region. The Julian Alps – the kingdom of Zlatorog According to an ancient legend a white chamois with golden horns lived in the mountains. The people of the area named him Zlatorog, or “Goldhorn”. He guarded the treasures of nature. One day a greedy hunter set off into the mountains and, ignoring the warnings, tracked down Zlatorog and shot him. Blood ran from his wounds Chamois The Triglav rose and fell to the ground. Where it landed, a miraculous plant, the Triglav rose, sprang up. Zlatorog ate the flowers of this plant and its magical healing powers made him invulnerable. At the same time, however, he was saddened by the greed of human beings.

    Folia Forestalia Polonica, series A, 2015, Vol. 57 (3), 173–186 ORIGINAL ARTICLE DOI: 10.1515/ffp-2015-0017 Stakeholder analysis in the biomass energy development based on the experts’ opinions: the example of Triglav National Park in Slovenia Gianluca Grilli1, 2 , Giulia Garegnani2, Aleš Poljanec3, 4, Andrej Ficko4, Daniele Vettorato2, Isabella De Meo5, Alessandro Paletto6 1 University of Trento, Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering, via Mesiano 77, 38123 Trento, Italy, phone: +39 0471 055 668, email: [email protected] 2 EURAC Research, Institute for Renewable Energy, Viale Druso Drususallee 1, Bozen, Italy 3 Slovenia Forest Service, Večna pot 2, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia 4 University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty, Department for Forestry and Renewable Forest Resources, Jamnikarjeva 101, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia 5 Council for Agricultural Research and Economics, Agrobiology and Pedology Centre – CREA-ABP, Firenze, Italy 6 Council for Agricultural Research and Economics, Forest Monitoring and Planning Research Unit – CREA-MPF, Trento, Italy AbstrAct The paper presents a method for identifying and classifying local stakeholders involved in renewable energy de- velopment. The method is based on the expert assessment and comprises three main steps: (1) identification of the independent experts considering their expertise and knowledge of the local context; (2) identification of the local stakeholders based on expert assessment; and (3) analytical categorisation of stakeholders taking into account the professional relationship network. Using forest biomass (bioenergy) production as example, the stakeholder analy- sis is illustrated on the case study of Triglav National Park, which is characterised by a high potential of woody biomass production and a large number of stakeholders involved in land use and management.
