DESCRIPTION OF URBAN CONTEXT 1.1. General description of the city of Maribor Maribor is the second biggest city in Slovenia. It is located in the region of Styria, only 15 km away from the state border with Austria and 127 km from Slovenian capital, the city of Ljubljana. Maribor has per current statistical data (2016) 95.589 inhabitants that are living on 40,980 m2. The breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991 and subsequent collapse of heavy industry that was at the time the flagship of national and regional economy, resulted in heavy economic, social and infrastructural damage for the city of Maribor. There was a brief period of upturn at the turn of millennium but the economic crisis of 2009 further derailed development. Despite harsh times Maribor grew into metropolitan city and is one of cultural and economic centres of Slovenia. Figure 2: Location of Maribor and the map of city districts Maribor is also one of major education centres of Slovenia. Apart from numerous primary and secondary public and private schools, libraries and educational centres, it is also a city with the national university (University of Maribor), University library (UKM) and University Medical Centre (UKC). In addition to rich historic heritage1 that is evident in numerous churches, monuments, museums and other sites, Maribor is also known for being the place of the world’s oldest vine. It has been growing for over 400 years on Lent, the riverbank of the Drava river. Lent is also a major site for one of the biggest music and cultural festival in this part of Europe, namely the Lent Festival which contributes to diverse cultural life in the city. In short, Maribor is a lively European city and titles like Alpine city of the year 2000, European Capital of Culture (2012) and European Youth Capital (2013) support this ambition. 1.2. Description of the intervention area The area of the intervention covers the so called urban area of the city, with following characteristics: Area of the interventions 40.648.278 m² Population in the intervention area 81.165 1 Maribor received the city status in 1254. p. 3 Population density within the area of 1.996,78 interventions Number of city districts 10 Extent of areas of cultural heritage 8.709.826 m² Protected natural areas within the area of 4.982.487 m² interventions Parks within the area of interventions 431.712 m² (1,06 %) Green areas within the area of interventions 11.035.230 m² (27,15 %) Urban forests within the area of interventions 5.782.812 m² (14,23 %) Figure 3: statistical data for the ISUD intervention area. Diverse facts from the analytical part of the ISUDS: Economic power: average income per capita | 82% average SLO | 67% average EU, the budget of the Municipality of Maribor for 2016 | 89,3 Mio €, concentration of shopping malls | 373 m²/resident, unemployment rate in 2015 | 17,5% (12,3% state average). Housing: number of public housing units | 2.890 flats | 8,35% of total housing units, vacant new flats (built after 2005, stat. from 2012) | 1235 | 14,1 % of all empty flats. Access to green areas and recreational areas: residents in 400m radius to recreational areas | 67.275 | 82,89%, residents in 400m radius to parks | 34.378 | 42,36%, residents in 100m radius to biking lanes | 53.906 | 66,42%. Education: Maribor is the second university city of Slovenia, but it is only on 5 place in the education level of its residents. Demographics: worst residents age structure among larger Slovenian municipalities | lowest share of under 14-year-olds |highest share in 65+ year-olds | long term negative trend. In last 16 years total number of residents fell approx. 1% annually. Figure 4: Partial analysis of vacant stores number on two main commercial streets in the old city center (MiZa, 2014). p. 4 1.3. Intervention model Intervention model is based on a vision of an integrated spatial-economic-social system focusing on sustainability and cooperation within the urban space of the city. The vision “The Opportunity for Maribor, building inclusive and circular community” is based on extensive analysis of local environment and on numerous examples of good practices. Its main goal is to create new and to use existing resources more efficiently, at the same time inviting all individuals and stakeholders to actively participate in shaping the urban space. The intervention plan is rests on 5 pillars, based on identified goals of the ISUDS: 1. Self-sufficient city - is focusing on activation of the local social and economic capital aiming to establish systems of self-sufficiency, management of urban poverty, demographic erosion and social inclusion, to improve the living standard and to restore positive identity of the city; 2. Sustainable mobility - is based on the need for transformation of the existing systems of public transport and integration with other forms of mobility (e.g. walking and cycling), formation of efficient, attractive, inclusive and modern public transportation system for the city; 3. New sustainable city management - with the goal of capacity-building, achieving efficient management and facilitating cooperation with stakeholders in the city; 4. Urban renewal - focusing on renewal of public urban space and on establishing the city as the regional cultural and urban center; and 5. Activation of green spaces - with the main aim in preserving, interconnecting and further developing natural spaces of the city. Pillars: Priorities: Main goals = 34 measures: Self-sufficient activation of local * activation of local resources and economy social and economic * development of self-sufficiency Maribor * temporary use of degraded areas potential * development of urban gardens and bee-hives * management of urban poverty * intergenerational cooperation * management of demographic erosion and ghettoization * support to health and healthy food * development of distinct identities of city districts Mobile modern system of * connecting the city with railroad infrastructure and the airport public transport, * development of cycling infrastructure Maribor * development of the city of »short-paths« activation of * development of attractive public transport mobility * development of mobility accessible to vulnerable groups Reorganized efficient of * restructuring financial and organizational aspects of city management management of the * reorganization of city districts Maribor * application of new management models city * development of cooperation networks (EU, SLO) * development of unified information and digitalization * cooperation with University and NGOs Urban establishment of * establishing the office for urban renewal city as a regional * reorganization of public space Maribor * activation of inhabitants cultural and urban * further development of tourism (as an interconnecting activity within the city) center * support to culture as an instrument of urban revitalization * support to eco- and energy- efficient city infrastructure Green development

At the same time, a growing appreciation of regional issues has raised interest in regional differences in each of these countries. This volume of the “Portrait of the Regions” series responds to this need and follows on in a tradition which has seen four volumes devoted to the current Member States, a fifth to Hungary, a sixth volume dedicated to the Czech Republic and Poland, a seventh to the Slovak Republic and the most recent volume covering the Baltic States, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Examining the 12 statistical regions of Slovenia, this ninth volume in the series has an almost identical structure to Volume 8, itself very similar to earlier publications.

  • Slovenia As an Outpost of Th~ Third Reich
    SLOVENIA AS AN OUTPOST OF TH~ THIRD REICH By HELGA HORIAK HARRIMAN 1\ Bachelor of Arts Wells College Aurora, New York 1952 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 1969 STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY SEP 29 1969 SLOVENIA AS AN OUTPOST OF THE THIRD REICH Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii PREFACE This study is concerned primarily with the Nazi occupation of Northern Yugoslavia during 1941 and 1942. Hitler's plan for converting Slovenia into a germanized frontier zone of the Third Reich is assessed in the light of Slovene history, most particularly since 1918. The evidence for the Nazi resettlement program designed to achieve Hitler's goal came from manuscript documents, which were written largely by the SS officers in charge of population manipulation. I wish to express appreciation to members of my advisory committee t from the Department of History at Oklahoma State University who gave helpful criticism in the preparation of the text. Professor Douglas Hale served as committee chairman and offered valuable advice concern- ing the study from its inception to its conclusion. Professor George Jewsbury imparted to its development his own keen understanding of Eastern Europe. To Professors John Sylvester and Charles Dollar, who read the study in its final form, I am also indebted. In addition, I wish to thank my father, Dr. E. A. V. Horiak, for his insightful comments. Dr. Joseph Suhadolc of the Department of For- eign Languages at Northern Illinois University gave freely of his time in reviewing the text.

  • The Role of Slovenian Local Authorities in Carrying out the Joint Tasks
    LEX LOCALIS - JOURNAL OF LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT Vol. 8, No. 4, pp. 329 - 342, October 2010 Public-Public Partnerships: The Role of Slovenian Local Authorities in Carrying out the Joint Tasks 2 BOJAN ŠKOF & NELI BRADASCHIA ABSTRACT Despite the clearly specified conditions laid down in the Slovenian Local Self-Government Act, both in theory and practice, the question often arises whether or not the Slovene municipalities are able to perform original tasks. In this regard, it must be noted that the local communities, i.e., municipalities and wider self- governing local communities, are not formed on the basis of certain criteria of rationality according to which it would be possible to prejudge whether or not they are capable of performing the tasks that they must perform, namely, the local public services. Today's municipalities are mostly the result of the historical development, traditions, political compromises, geographical and other factors that have nothing to do with the criteria of rationality with regard to the tasks and needs they must carry out and satisfy. Due to a large number of relatively weak local communities in Slovenia, the cooperation between them is important in carrying out the functions that are common to municipalities, to the state or to the EU. It is about public-public partnerships where local communities can play a key role because they know the needs of the local population.
