The intent is to shape a governing process of society that not only includes government and local authorities action but incorporates external economic and social actors through several association mechanisms to prove the validation of paradigm that place and quality of life are connected. Analysing the quality of life of one single person means we have to treat with objectivity such as: • well being as a social value • satisfaction as a psychological value • prosperity as an economical value In this context we have to remember The Brundtland Report "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It contains within it two key concepts: • The concept of needs, in particular the essential needs of the world's poor, to which overriding priority should be given; and • The idea of limitations imposed by the state of technology and social organization on the environment's ability to meet present and future needs." All definitions of sustainable development require that we see the world as a system—a system that connects space; and a system that connects time. The question we want to answer is »What is the advantage of a certain location?« and how can we find the balance and evolution of above mentioned processes in order to create a better place to invest, work and live by inducing new social and urban processes. COUNTRY REPORT SLOVENIA April 2014 4 The key issues to be examined are the effects and influences of regeneration policies in Gorenjska region, which includes local geography or location, natural and local land markets, building forms, land ownership and tenure, regional and local economic circumstances, political agendas and ambitions and administrative structures, tools and mechanisms of interventions. Based on listed facts, the project is exploring the relationship between urban/rural problems and solutions or proposals through three frames: legal, social and building innovation issues. We are examining the similarities and differences in the process of urban development and regeneration between different situations within Gorenjska region that consists of 18 municipalities. The goal is to draw out conclusions around key aspects of the process and prepare basic network for further projects. Description of the methodology This report is an outcome of the BUILTD SEE project planning and results from the following analyses the situation, trends, spatial problems and stakeholders' perceptions as well as aims and strategies: • Gathering information from each of the 18 municipalities in Gorenjska Region /interviews, workshops/; • Analysis of the situation based on statistical and GIS data of the area and each municipality; • Literature review available research reports, articles, development plans etc. in • Conjunction with the area; • Identification of ongoing and finished projects relating to Urban Acquits; • Compilation of the relevant legislation; • Identification of legal insufficiencies in urban planning; • Identification of social issues; • Identification and promotion of the building innovation issues / best practice/; • Analysis of the practical implementation /case study/; • Recommendations and references; • Implementation of strategies in Case Studies as the action plan and assigning tool for the Municipalities in Gorenjska Region (brochures, conference and e‐learning sessions). What we want to achieve are the spaces of possibility, strong network of accountability of all participants, a coherent place within the region, recognize diversity and enhance the relationship to aesthetics. A brief outline of Republic of Slovenia The Republic of Slovenia lies at the heart of Europe where the Alps and the Mediterranean meet the Karst region and Pannonia plains. The size of Slovenia is 20,273 km². Referring to its landscape, the territory of Slovenia is geographically divided into four basic types of landscape ‐ Alpine in the north, Mediterranean in the south‐west, Dinaric in the south and Pannonia in the east. There are three different types of climate in Slovenia: continental in the central part, Alpine in the north‐west and sub‐Mediterranean along the coast and its hinterland. Slovenia enjoys extraordinarily rich biodiversity due to its location at the junction of several ecological regions. It hosts an abundance of species, including 850 endemic ones. Traditions of close‐to‐nature forest management – 66% of the land area is forest – and low‐intensity farming have helped to conserve much of COUNTRY REPORT SLOVENIA April 2014 5 this natural wealth. There is high public support for biodiversity protection, and NGOs contribute positively to policy developments; 35.5% of the territory is designated as part of the Natura 2000 network, the largest share among EU members. Protected areas appear to be well managed. Agricultural land use 27, 8%, water 0, 7%, bare soils 1, 6%, built‐up areas 2, 8% and transport areas 1, 1%. Slovenia has 2.054.741 (1 October 2011) inhabitants. The majority of Slovenia's population is Slovene (83.06%). Hungarians and Italians have the status of indigenous minorities under the Constitution of Slovenia, which guarantees them seats in the National Assembly. Most other minority groups, particularly those from other parts of the former Yugoslavia, relocated after World War II for economic reasons. According to data from 2008, there were around 100,000 non‐EU citizens living in Slovenia, or around 5% of the overall population of the country. The highest number came from Bosnia‐Hercegovina, followed by immigrants from Serbia, Macedonia, Croatia and Kosovo. The number of people migrating to Slovenia has been steadily rising from 1995 and has been increasing rapidly in recent years. Since Slovenia joined the EU in 2004, the yearly inflow of immigrants has doubled by 2006 and tripled by 2009. In 2007, Slovenia was one of the countries with the fastest growth of net migration rate in the European Union. Slovenia With more than 92% of the Slovenian population speaking its own Slovene language in their home environment. This places Slovenia among the most homogeneous countries in the EU in terms of the share of speakers of predominant mother tongue. COUNTRY REPORT SLOVENIA April 2014 6 Population density / 101.2 inhabitants per square kilometre (1 July 2011). In terms of urbanization, approximately one third of the population live in towns with more than 10,000 inhabitants, the rest live in nearly six thousand smaller towns and villages. Republic of Slovenia is divided into 12 statistical regions and 210 municipalities on a local level. The division into statistical regions is based on the social‐geographic regionalization of Slovenia and they coincide also with planning regions determined for the preparation of regional development policy, Gorenjska region is one of them. Presentation of Gorenjska region – field of processing Gorenjska region Gorenjska situated in the northwest of Slovenia. To the north, it borders Austria (Carinthia) along the Karavanke mountain range; to the west Italy (the Friuli‐Venezia Giulia province) to the east the Savinja region, and to the south, it opens up towards the central Slovenian region. Covering 2,137 square kilometres, which is 10.5 % of the Slovenia’s total surface, Gorenjska is the sixth in size of all Slovenian regions with 204,170 (July 2012) inhabitants, which is 9.9 % of the national population.

  • Slovenia Have Been Remarkable
    Mrak/Rojec/Silva-Jáur lovenia’s achievements over the past several years Slovenia have been remarkable. Thirteen years after Public Disclosure Authorized independence from the former Socialist Federative egui Republic of Yugoslavia, the country is among the most advanced of all the transition economies in Central and Eastern Europe and a leading candidate for accession to the European Union Sin May 2004. Remarkably, however, very little has been published Slovenia documenting this historic transition. Fr om Y In the only book of its kind, the contributors—many of them the architects of Slovenia’s current transformation—analyze the country’s three-fold ugoslavia to the Eur transition from a socialist to a market economy, from a regionally based to a national economy, and from being a part of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia to being an independent state and a member of the European Union (EU). With chapters from Slovenia’s president, a former vice prime minister, Public Disclosure Authorized the current and previous ministers of finance, the minister of European affairs, the current and former governors of the Bank of Slovenia, as well as from leading development scholars in Slovenia and abroad, this unique opean Union collection synthesizes Slovenia’s recent socioeconomic and political history and assesses the challenges ahead. Contributors discuss the Slovenian style of socioeconomic transformation, analyze Slovenia’s quest for EU membership, and place Slovenia’s transition within the context of the broader transition process taking place in Central and Eastern Europe. Of interest to development practitioners and to students and scholars of the region, Slovenia: From Yugoslavia to the European Union is a From Yugoslavia comprehensive and illuminating study of one country’s path to political and economic independence.

To detect changes in risk for humans, the prevalence of antibodies to DOBV has been monitored in a population of Apodemus flavicollis in the province of Trento (northern Italy) since 2000, and a sudden increase was observed in 2010. In the 13-year period of this study, 2077 animals were live-trapped and mean hantavirus seroprevalence was 2·7% (S.E. = 0·3%), ranging from 0% (in 2000, 2002 and 2003) to 12·5% (in 2012). Climatic (temperature and precipitation) and host (rodent population density, rodent weight and sex, and larval tick burden) variables were analysed using Generalized Linear Models and multi-model inference to select the best model. Climatic changes (mean annual precipitation and maximum temperature) and individual body mass had a positive effect on hantavirus seroprevalence. Other possible drivers affecting the observed pattern need to be studied further.

  • Demand-Side Or Supply-Side Stabilisation Policies in a Small Euro
    Empirica https://doi.org/10.1007/s10663-021-09503-y ORIGINAL PAPER Demand‑side or supply‑side stabilisation policies in a small euro area economy: a case study for Slovenia Reinhard Neck1 · Klaus Weyerstrass2 · Dmitri Blueschke1 · Miroslav Verbič3 Accepted: 25 February 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract In this paper we analyse the efectiveness of demand- and supply-side fscal poli- cies in the small open economy of Slovenia. Simulating the SLOPOL10 model, an econometric model of the Slovenian economy, we analyse the efectiveness of vari- ous categories of public spending and taxes during the period 2020 to 2030, assum- ing that no crisis occurs. Our simulations show that those public spending measures that entail both demand- and supply-side efects are more efective at stimulating real GDP and increasing employment than pure demand-side measures. This is due to the fact that supply-side measures also increase potential and not only actual GDP. Measures which foster research and development and those which improve the education level of the labour force are particularly efective in this respect. Employ- ment can also be stimulated efectively by cutting the income tax rate and the social security contribution rate, i.e. by reducing the tax wedge on labour income, which positively afects Slovenia’s international competitiveness. Successful stabilisation policies should thus contain a supply-side component in addition to a demand-side component. We also provide a frst simulation of potential efects of the Covid-19 crisis on the Slovenian economy, which is modelled as a combined demand and sup- ply shock.

Slovenia is a story of love, a love of being active in nature, which is almost second nature to Slovenians. In every large town or village, you can enjoy a view of green hills or Alpine peaks, and almost every Slove- nian loves to put on their hiking boots and yell out a hurrah in the embrace of the mountains. Thenew guidebook will show you the most beauti- ful hiking trails around Slovenia and tips on how to prepare for hiking, what to experience and taste, where to spend the night, and how to treat yourself after a long day of hiking. Save the dates of the biggest hiking celebrations in Slovenia – the Slovenia Hiking Festivals. Indeed, Slovenians walk always and everywhere. We are proud to celebrate 120 years of the Alpine Associati- on of Slovenia, the biggest volunteer organisation in Slovenia, responsible for maintaining mountain trails. Themountaineering culture and excitement about the beauty of Slovenia’s nature connects all generations, all Slovenian tourist farms and wine cellars. Experience this joy and connection between people in motion. This is the beginning of themighty Alpine mountain chain, where the mysterious Dinaric Alps reach their heights, and where karst caves dominate the subterranean world. There arerolling, wine-pro- ducing hills wherever you look, the Pannonian Plain spreads out like a carpet, and one can always sense the aroma of the salty Adriatic Sea.
