  • Carrying Capacity Assessment of Slovene Istria for Tourism
    Sustainable Development and Planning II, Vol. 1 725 Carrying capacity assessment of Slovene Istria for tourism I. Jurincic Turistica, College of Tourism Portoroz, University of Primorska, Slovenia Abstract The method of carrying capacity assessment has been found to be a useful tool for saturation prevention as well as for implementing sustainable tourism development strategies in Slovene Istria. It has been found that sustainable tourism development allows for variations in tourism development intensity in the region. The aim of sustainable tourism development is a long-term optimal use of tourism resources without negative impacts on the natural, social and economic environments. The major constraints that will have to be considered if tourism development is to be sustainable are: waste water collection and treatment, lack of car parks, road and rail transport, sea water quality, potable water resources, solid waste disposal and management, and last but not least the dissatisfaction of the local community and tourists with tourism. The development of more accommodation facilities would not be reasonable without investments in general infrastructure facilities. Measures for increasing carrying capacity have also been suggested. Keywords: carrying capacity, sustainable tourism, indicators, tourist destination, regional planning, geographical information systems. 1 Introduction Today the development of tourism demands careful planning. The environmental impact of tourism is harmful and has frequently been uncoordinated with other users of the land. Moreover, the fragility of the environment has been seldom taken into consideration. Tourism development has been often led by individual investors who put profitability in the first place. To make the situation worse, this has been repeatedly done with complete disregard for tourism development WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, Vol 84, © 2005 WIT Press www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3541 (on-line) 726 Sustainable Development and Planning II, Vol.

  • Reading Societies
    READING SOCIETIES Database Analysis Urška Perenič, Faculty of arts, University of Ljubljana Among the institutions which shaped the public “space of Slovenian literary culture” − besides theatres, national halls, publishing houses and printing houses − are also reading societies. A network of reading societies was intensively formed from the 1860's onwards. We have closely studied its formation from three viewpoints, namely: 1) demographic characteristics of individual settlements and wider (political) districts where the reading centres arose, 2) from the perspective of the administrative and politically-judicial organization of settlements or areas with reading centres and 3) from the perspective of the development of a secondary and higher education network, since the education system can to an extent be connected to the spatial arrangement of reading institutions. I. METHODOLOGY 1. The selection of material In the framework of the project “The space of Slovenian literary culture”, a selection of 58 reading centres, which actively co-shaped the Slovenian literary space from the establishment of the first reading centre in 1861 to the beginning of the 20th Century, when the majority of the reading centres stopped operating; was planned. The research is limited to the period from 1861 to 1869, which is the reading centre era; at that time mass meetings began to form, which together with reading centres and political societies helped to co-shape the national- political consciousness. 2. The structure of data about reading centres For each reading centre the following data were acquired for entry into the data base: 1. the name of the settlement (Trieste, Ljubljana ... Železna Kapla etc.), 2.

  • BIODIVERSITY in SLOVENIA Ana Vovk Kor`E
    BIODIVERSITY IN SLOVENIA Ana Vovk Kor`e Slovenia occupies less than 0.004% of the entire world's surface and 0.014% of its land. Its numer- ic share of the world's population is slightly higher. However, Slovenia is also home to more than more than one percent of al known species of living beings on earth and more than 2% of continental (land and freshwater) species. This means that every hundredth known species of all current living beings or every fiftieth known continental species lives in Slovenia. Such a high number ranks Slovenia among the naturally richest areas of Europe and even the world (Mr{i} 1997, p. 9). This richness is the con- sequence of the contact between the Mediterranean, Alpine, Pannonian, and Dinaric macroregions and directly reflects these biogeographical regions. Human activity has also contributed to the biodiversi- ty in the territory of today's Slovenia, the result of the interweaving of the Slavic, Germanic, and Romance cultures. Due to its modest number of natural resources and exceptionally divers natural characteris- tics, Slovenia's biotic diversity has been well preserved. Table 1: Natural characteristics of Slovenia (Part 2: State of Biodiversity, p. 13). Regional elements Characteristics Geological foundation Junction of four geotectonic units (Eastern Alps, Dinaric Alps, Pannonian Basin, Adriatic-Apulian foothills) and diverse geological foundation Biogeographical regions The Alps (30%), Dinaric Alps (30%), Mediterranean Basin (10%), and Pannonian plain (30%) on an area of 20,273 km2 give Slovenia a transitional character. 1 Relief Diverse relief; altitudes from 0 to 2,864 meters; /6 of the territory covered by Quaternary sediments; about 44% of the bedrock is carbonate, largely karstified (more than 7,000 registered caves).

THE REDISCOVERY OF A FORGOTTEN WAR: THE FIRST WORLD WAR IN SLOVENE FILM AND DOCU- MENTARY PRODUCTION Karin Almasy Introduction Until recently, the First World War was neither a central topic in Slovene film production nor was it discussed in Slovene docu- mentary production. That is not surprising, since First World War in general has not been really on display in Slovene remembrance culture. The First World War has been completely overshadowed by the Second World War, which polarizes the society even today. The focus of scientific research and public discussion on the First World War in Slovenia was and is on Isonzo Front; research on other aspects of the war did not really occur until recently.

Blasnika nasi, d, d., Ljubljana 1) Territory. The Kanal valley is enclosed among the Julian Alps, the Carnian Alps and the Karawanken. The valleys of the rivers Bela (Fella) and Ziljica (Gailitz), which compose this region, geologically and geomorphologically form a unit with the upper Sava valley: all three rivers take their courses down the former glacier valley which has been chiseled out along the tectonic breach between the Drava group and the southern limestone Alps. All three valleys lie pretty high: the Sava valley reaches at its westernmost point, at the end of the gently doping ascent beginning at Jesenice (578 m) and ending at Rateče, the height of 849 m, and then passes by an imperceptible watershed (859 m) in the valley of the Ziljica (Gailitz) (Bela peč [Fusine in Val- romana] 770 m, Trbiž [Tarvisio] 704 m), which in turn is con­ nected by the watershed at Zabnica (Camporosso in Valcanale) (817 m) to the valley of the river Bela (Fella), which at the western end of the territory (at Pontabelj [Pontebba Nova]) again descends for about 250 m. In the south the territory is linked across the relatively low Pass of Predil (1156 m) to the upper Soča (Isonzo) valley.

  • Preparatory Document
    Preparatory document Slovenia in the Second World War After the attack on the Kingdom of Yugoslavia on April 6, 1941, German, Italian and Hungarian occupation forces divided the territory of the former Drava Banovina. Some villages were also included in the Independent State of Croatia. The occupation administrations wanted to destroy the cultural and national identity of the Slovene nation as soon as possible. In German- held territory, names and place names were first germanised and the use of German was introduced. In the mass deportation of Slovenes and the planned settlement of Germans, 63,000 Slovenes were forcibly exiled to Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia and Germany. The emptied homesteads near Sotla and Sava were settled by (Gottschee) Kočevje Germans. The occupation authorities introduced forced mobilisation into the German and Hungarian armies. Primorska Slovenes had already been inducted into the Italian army before the war. The Hungarians also banned the use of Slovene and expelled educated Slovenes. At least initially, the Italian occupier used milder measures of suppression of nationality. The Slovene language and cultural and educational institutions were retained, and Slovene officials served in the Italian administration. During the occupation, the bourgeois parties tended to wait tactically, awaiting instructions from the refugee government in London, while left-wing political groups advocated organized resistance. On April 26, 1941, representatives of the Communists, part of the Sokol Organization, Christian Socialists and cultural workers formed the Anti-Imperialist Front, which was later renamed the Liberation Front (OF). They advocated an armed campaign against the occupier, which would be the starting point for the liberation and unification of all Slovenes.

  • Modernity Anchored in the Past: Making a New Socialist Town on the Yugo- Slav-Italian Border (1947-1955)
    «Qualestoria» n.2, dicembre 2019 Modernity Anchored in the Past: Making a New Socialist Town on the Yugo- slav-Italian Border (1947-1955) di Jure Ramšak Abstract - Modernity Anchored in the Past: Making a New Socialist Town on the Yugoslav-Italian Border (1947-1955) Once the diplomatic battle for Gorizia/Gorica was lost in the aftermath of World War II, the new communist authorities in Belgrade hastily decided in 1946 to build the «Er- satz» administrative, economic and cultural center of the Slovenian-populated region of northern Littoral (severna Primorska). Adopting principles of Western pre-war modern- ist urbanism (Le Corbusier’s The Athens Charter), Nova Gorica, as the nascent town was called, intended to become an ideal environment for the «new working man», a showpiece of socialism vis-à-vis «crumbling» capitalist landscape on the other side of the newly settled border, conveying also the message of anti-fascism and national lib- eration struggle. However, after Tito’s split with Moscow when new conflicts erupted along Yugoslavian eastern borders, the erection of the «lighthouse» of socialism on the western border became a task of secondary importance for the authorities in Ljubljana and even less in Belgrade. Using materials from archives in Nova Gorica, Ljubljana, and Belgrade, this article sheds light on the relationship between the authorities at local and republican level concerning this prominent project. It shows how the authoritative deci- sion about radical modernization was imposed by the top communist decision-makers in close collaboration with the architects, who considered themselves the teachers of the new way of life.

  • THE RECOVERY of TOURISM in SLOVENIA Anton Gosar
    THE RECOVERY OF TOURISM IN SLOVENIA Anton Gosar The European political map at the dawn of the 21st century is characterized by: • emerging new nation-states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro); • self-proclaimed entities (The Republic of Northern Cyprus), • entities constructed by the international community (the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the inter-entity division within) • areas which have been placed under short (Albania, Macedonia) or long term international protec- torate, or a form of it (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo); • the strengthening of the Atlantic core region due to the unified currency (Euro), the enlargement of the Euro-Atlantic security area (NATO) and the enlargement of the nation-state federation of the European Union with new member states: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Malta and Cyprus. Along with the political and economic disruptions, linked also to the fall of the Iron Curtain and the transition from communism to democracy, and from the socialist to market economy, the Southeastern Europe – including Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro and Slovenia, as an entity of former Yugoslavia – experienced worst times in tourism industry's history ever. As a destination, Southeastern Europe is and was lagging behind western destinations based on mea- surements of visitor arrivals, tourism amenities and receipts. With the exception of Ex-Yugoslavia, which was among the 10 most visited countries of the world in the 1980's, all other countries of the area, includ- ing Greece, can not be lined up along such giants as France, Spain or Italy.

  • Some Characteristics of Tourism in Slovenia
    Slovene Studies 1211 (1990) 33-42 ,, , SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF TOURISM IN SLOVENIA Anton Gosar Introduction * In all of Europe there is no country quite like Slovenia, where over a relatively small area (20,256 km2/7821 sq, miles) a number of European macro-regions come into contact, of which two-the Alps and the Mediterranean-are considered among the world's most attractive for tourists. In this piece of European heartland we find mediterranean, alpine, karstic, and pannonian landscape features. Slovenia is the most naturally heterogeneous republic of Yugoslavia. Slovenia's strategic location and geographical characteristics make possible the development of excursionary, stationary, and transit tourism, as well as winter sports and summer seaside holidays and other types of vacation. Given all of this, one would expect Slovenia, correspondingly, to have capitalized on these geographical advan­ tages and natural assets. Despite all of these advantages, however, tourism in Slovenia has not developed to the level of Yugoslavia as a whole. This paper examines the character­ istics of tourism in Slovenia and assesses the state of the tourist industry in the republic. Tourism in Slovenia within the Yugoslav context Of all the tourists to Yugoslavia, only a little more than one-tenth (12.3%) stay in Slovenia. The catering and tourist institutions of Slovenia show even fewer overnights: for 1987, barely 8.2% of all Yugoslav overnights were recorded in Slovenia, which ranked third (behind Croatia and Serbia) within the whole country, where 22,300,000 tourists and 110,000,000 tourist overnights were documented. I The number of visitors to Croatia surpassed those visiting Slovenia by a factor of three, while the number of Croatian overnights was seven times greater than the Slovene number.
