  • Telecom Policy Across the Former Yugoslavia: Incentives, Challenges, and Lessons Learned by Laura Hosman and Philip N
    JOURNAL OF INFORMATION POLICY 4 (2014): 67-104. TELECOM POLICY ACROSS THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA: INCENTIVES, CHALLENGES, AND LESSONS LEARNED BY LAURA HOSMAN AND PHILIP N. HOWARD† What is the recipe for good information policy? Hosman and Howard address this in an emerging economy context through case studies of six states that arose following the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia. These new nations pursued differing information policy paths that led to diverse outcomes. The authors find, in general, conventional positive outcomes supporting policies for privatization, liberalization, and competition; but at the same time discover many counterintuitive outcomes based on each country’s unique circumstances. General rules are good, but in specific cases alternative paths can also lead to success. INTRODUCTION Telecommunications policy has come to occupy an important position in the strategies of governments in emerging countries for promoting socio-economic growth. Economists have long acknowledged the significance of the telecommunications sector in its own right as a contributor to economic growth, and its multiplying effect for other sectors of the economy. Political scientists, sociologists, computer scientists, engineers, and development scholars all now have perspectives on how ICTs (information and communication technologies) can contribute to overall development and growth. Governments in developing countries recognize that ICT-oriented initiatives can be promoted through policy, but questions remain as to effective methods for doing so, particularly on a nationwide level. Some governments choose telecommunications policies that hinder technology diffusion, while others choose policies that appear to do a good job at encouraging technology diffusion and reaping subsequent economic rewards. The question of what makes for good policy has become a key issue area for academics and international organizations alike, with various recommendations emerging from numerous macro-level studies aimed at addressing this issue.

  • Karstology in Motorway Construction on Classical Karst
    Geografski vestnik 84-1, 2012, 77–86 Articles ARTICLES KARSTOLOGY IN MOTORWAY CONSTRUCTION ON CLASSICAL KARST AUTHORS Martin Knez, Tadej Slabe Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Karst Research Institute, Titov trg 2 , SI – 6230 Postojna, Slovenia knez@zrc -sazu.si, slabe@zrc -sazu.si UDC: 551.44:625.7/.8(497.472) COBISS: 1.02 ABSTRACT Karstology in motorway construction on Classical Karst One of the major ongoing projects in Slovenia was to link the country with modern motorways. Almost half of Slovenia is karst and more than half of its supply of water comes from karst aquifers. Slovenia is the home of the Classical Karst region – Kras. Karstologists have been involved in planning and construction of motorways. We have acquired a great deal of information about surface karst phenomena and the epikarst, and where excavation work has cut deeper in the surface and in tunnels, about the vadose zone and the paleokarst. Development of the karst usually left important traces, above all in the numerous old caves. More than 350 new caves have been opened. During the planning we tried to avoid important karst phe - nomena as are collapse dolines, large dolines, caves and karst walls and by impermeable construction of a roadway we tried to prevent the pollution flowing from it into underground waters. During the construction works we researched newly discovered karst features and tried to preserve as many as possible. KEY WORDS motorway construction, karstological monitoring, karst, karst cave, Classical Karst (Kras), Slovenia IZVLEČEK Krasoslovje in gradnja avtocest na matičnem Krasu Eden večjih projektov, ki potekajo v Sloveniji, je povezati državo s sodobnimi avtocestami.

  • Habitat Suitability Modelling for Red Deer (Cervus Elaphus L.) in South-Central Slovenia with Classification Trees
    Debeljak, M., Dzeroski, S., Jerina, K., Kobler, A., and Adamic, M. (2001). Habitat suitability modelling for red deer (Cervus elaphus L.) in South-central Slovenia with classification trees. Ecological Modelling 138: 321-330. Keywords: 8SI/Cervus elaphus/classification/classification tree/deer/distribution/geographic information system/GIS/habitat/habitat model/habitat suitability/home range/Malme/management/ model/models/population dynamics/red deer/Slovenia/spatial/spatial distribution Abstract: We study and assess the potential habitats of a population of red deer in South-central Slovenia. Using existing data on the deer population spatial distribution and size, as well as data on the landscape and ecological properties (GIS) of the area inhabited by this population, we develop a habitat suitability model by automated data analysis using machine learning of classification trees. We assume that the recorded observations of deer approximate the actual spatial distribution of the deer population reasonably well. The habitat suitability models for individual animals have the form of classification trees. The induced trees are interpreted by domain experts and a generic model is proposed. The generic habitat suitability models can help determine potential unoccupied habitats for the red deer population and develop guidelines for managing the development of the red deer population and its influence on the environment.

  • INSPIRIT FANTASY PARK, Pazin
    InsPIrIt FANTASY ParK, Pazin LOCATIon The Project is located in the largest Croatian peninsula, Istria, close to the small village of Lindar, 3 kilometers from the town of Pazin, the administrative center of Istria County. The location of the Project is a former military training site 454 Pazin meters above sea level, 30 kilometers from the Adriatic coast to its east and west, 50 kilometers from Pula airport and seaport in Rijeka as well. Lindar can be accessed by the motorway known as „Istrian Y“, connected to the highway, that further connects this region with other parts of the Croatia, Slovenia and Central Europe, so therefore over 3 million inhabitants within a radius of 200 km gravitate to this area. The Project holder is the City of Pazin and its implementation is supported by Istria County and the Ministry of Tourism, which has financed most of the required documentation. ProJect descrIPtIon Inspirit Fantasy Park is a new, unique and very atractive tourist project which includes construction of a theme amusement park on the area of approximately 10 hectares, owned by the Republic of Croatia. The projected facilities of the park are based on the stories of Istrian, Slavic and European mythology. The Project aims to create a place where visitors play with mythical creatures, and the Park, by use of modern technology, should be designed as an interactive world where legends mix with dream and reality, in which every visitor will have a sense of adventure in a magical environment. Beside entertainment the Park has multiple roles including a scientific and educational dimension.

Turning the country into a logistics hub would have multiplying effects on economic activity PwC 2 Stimulating the private sector . In the past the vast majority of Slovenia’s investments in infrastructure has come from the public sector; limited PPP track record . The public sector will continue to play the dominant role . Due to financial constraints more finance will need to come from the private sector . Project finance provides a logical means to deliver key infrastructure projects as it limits pressure on both short-term cash flows and reduces the need to borrow heavily .

    Management of Brown Bears (Ursus arctos) in Europe. Sybille A. Klenzendorf Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Masters Of Science in Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences Dr. Michael R. Vaughan, Chairman Dr. Steve L. McMullin Dr. Dean F. Stauffer Dr. Wolfgang Schröder April 22, 1997 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Brown bear, management, damage, Europe. Copyright 1997, Sybille A. Klenzendorf Management of Brown Bears (Ursus arctos) in Europe. Sybille A. Klenzendorf (Abstract) Successful conservation of brown bears (Ursus arctos) in Europe is associated with public acceptance of damages caused by bears. Recent increases in sheep depredation and beehive damage in central Austria resulted in the deaths of two bears there. Since bear numbers are low in most European populations, alternatives to the elimination of problem bears associated with damage incidents must be sought. The events described above led to the formation of the Bear Management Group responsible for designing a management plan for Austria that will outline procedures for dealing with bear damage and conservation strategies. This study provides an overview of the magnitude and seasonal patterns of brown bear damage in Romania, Italy, Slovenia, Norway, Sweden, and Austria. It also illustrates how bears are managed in European countries by comparing different management strategies for dealing with brown bear damage, describing how bear management is organized, determining which organizations are involved, and explaining which duties these fulfill. Bear damage data were obtained from interviews with wildlife managers, hunters, and farmers in Romania, Italy, Slovenia, Norway, Sweden, and Austria, and from official records of their bear management agencies.
