  • 7. Demographic Characteristics and Processes in Ljubljana Dejan Rebernik
    GeograFF 8 7. Demographic characteristics and processes in Ljubljana Dejan Rebernik The city of Ljubljana and its urban region experienced very dynamic population growth after 1945. Up until the 1970s, population growth was mainly a consequence of intensive migration from rural and less developed areas of Slovenia and the rest of Yugoslavia. Im- migrants provided the labor force needed for the rapidly growing manufacturing and services sectors. Characteristic was concentration of population in Ljubljana as well as in other, smaller towns in the region. At the same time a positive natural increase is also characteristic of this period, which together with a positive migration increase contrib- utes to the growth in population. In the 1980s and 1990s the relocation of the population to suburban settlements at the edge of the city intensified. In this way the largest subur- banized area in Slovenia, with around 150.000 inhabitants, took form. The city centre and older areas of housing experienced depopulation. The natural increase declined due to a drop in fertility and in 1996 Ljubljana recorded a negative natural increase for the first time. After 1991 the Ljubljana urban region experienced rapid economic development, which attracted new migration flows. The region has the highest migration balance of all the Slovenian regions. In the same period, due to negative natural and migration growth, the number of inhabitants in Ljubljana itself decreased. The main objective of this chapter is to present the major characteristics of population development in Ljubljana and the Ljubljana urban region. Population development is placed and explained in the context of general demographic and urbanization processes in Slovenia.

Apart from its indispensable role in everyday life, its long-term impact on society and the environment increasingly calls for attention. Functional, quality and professional transport management determines the development path both of the region and the State. Hence the project ‘Expert guidelines for the regulation of regional public transport’ is an excellent foundation for the regulation and establishment of quality public passenger transport on the principles of sustainable mobility by 2027. At the Municipality of Ljubljana we have set out a long-term programme for public transport and designed activities needed for its implementation. What are the most important projects through which we wish to achieve greater efficiency and safety in public transport, and the use of alternative fuels, as well as encourage cycling and walking? · By closing the city centre to traffic, newly re-designed public spaces such as Prešeren Square (Prešernov trg) and the Three Bridges (Tromostovje), Ciril-Metod Square (Ciril Metodov trg), Breg, Krakovo Embankment (Krakovski nasip), Špica and Trnovo Quay (Trnovski pristan) are intended for pedestrians and cyclists.

Print run: 300 copies -2- At the time of the centenary of its foundation, in addition to an exhibition, Historical Archive Ljubljana prepared an exhibition catalogue, a chronicle of the development of the archive with a list of employees and photographs of more important events, which received a very good response from associates and fellow archivists. It very quickly became out of stock, and for a number of years we planned to reprint it. During that time, changes occurred that needed to be taken into account, and by the time we had waited a little, a whole decade had passed. One hundred and eleven years of archive activity is again a suitable period to look back, to write a chronicle and to produce a report on our major and minor successes. And to report this to the wider public, not just our colleagues and associates; even those who perhaps know nothing about us, for whom an archive still means a cupboard with dusty files. So before us is an supplemented publication of the chronicle of Historical Archive Ljubljana, from 1898 to 2009.
