1.1 Summary of Local Development Strategy of LAG TOTI LAS

Local Development Strategy TOTI LAS is a result of the work of a wide range of stakeholders in the area of two municipalities, the Municipality of Maribor and the Kungota, which joined in local partnership TOTI LAS. The LAG area represents a completed geographical and functional unit, defined by common history, identical natural features and internal social cohesion. Local Development Strategy TOTI LAS focuses primarily on the exploitation of the endogenous potentials of the area, which represent a good basis for the sustainable development of the area. It is prepared on the basis of needs, desires and expectations of the inhabitants of the area. The strategy is based on the following advantages and opportunities: - quality and recognizable offer of diverse products (wine, fruit, honey and culinary), based on the natural features and tradition, well preserved and diverse natural and cultural heritage in connection with traditional events, possibilities for creating new (green) jobs link with agriculture (local self-sufficiency), tourism and nature conservation and sustainable use of natural resources, the development of civil society and the development of innovative forms of social economy.

Key principles that are reflected in the strategy : cooperation and stakeholder’ integration, innovation and sustainability of solutions and social inclusion. Strategic goal : Increasing employment opportunities, improving the development of the area, improve the quality of life and the attractiveness of the area and increase the social inclusion of vulnerable groups.

1.2 Definition of the area and population

The territory of TOTI LAS composed municipalities Maribor and Kungota as a complete entity and meets the criteria, necessary for successful joint local development. The municipality of Kungota was once part of a large city municipality Maribor and is still connected to it in the area of public administration, infrastructure, economy, daily migration, culture, education and many other areas. The rural part of the Municipality of Maribor has the same characteristics as the settlements in the Municipality of Kungota. The population of these areas is facing the same problems, but also has development opportunities. Apart from everything else, we must not forget a very specific topics that closely connects both municipalities and offers unique opportunities for the development of the local community. In both municipalities it is developed and emphasized viticulture by culinary tradition. Also, the area is recognizable by many (also) international events: festivals, sports, cultural and ethnological events. In Maribor is growing the oldest vine grape in the world – STARA TRTA, one of the most attractive

tourist destination in Maribor, but in the settlement Špičnik / Svečina in the municipality of Kungota we can now be found an internationally recognized heart among vineyards, among locals known as "Dreisiebner's sweetheart."

1.2.1 General geographical characteristics of the TOTI LAS area Municipality of Maribor Maribor, which is the second largest city in Slovenia and the regional center, has a very favorable position on the crossroads of important European routes along the Drava River, between Pohorje, Kozjak and Slovenske gorice, between the Drava valley and Dravsko polje. The advantage of the location is the good traffic (road and rail) connection of Maribor with the rest important cities such as Ljubljana, Zagreb and Graz. At the beginning of the 12th century, the area of today's Municipality of Maribor was part of the border area of the Franciscan countries. In order to control the entrance to the Drava valley before the Hungarian invasions, they are on today's Pyramid a castle, a castle that is first mentioned in document on October 20, 1164 as castrum Marchburch. Today, Maribor is economic, financial, administrative, educational, cultural and commercial center of North-Eastern part of Slovenia with a number of institutions of national importance. Maribor is also university place. Prior to Slovenia's independence, Maribor was an economically developed city, which was a wave of bankruptcies a major blow to the market economy. Nowadays, the most of the city's income is brought by retailers activities and metal processing industry. In Maribor lives 111,842 inhabitants in the area of 147.5 km2. In the LEADER / CLLD area is the suburb of Maribor in the size of 109.85 km2 and 16.504 inhabitants.*

Municipality of Kungota The municipality of Kungota was founded in 1994 and lies in the hilly western part of Slovenske gorice.

2 Population in Slovenia, Podravska region and TOTI LAS 2.1 Population in Slovenia

Even though Slovenia is a relatively small country, it is divided into 12 statistical regions. Each region is unique, and almost each one stands out in some way or another. On the other hand, in many ways they are also similar. One in four residents of Slovenia was living in the Osrednjeslovenska statistical region, half of persons in employment living in the Zasavska statistical region were working outside the region. Most tourist arrivals were recorded in the Gorenjska statistical region, while most overnight stays were recorded in the Obalnokraška statistical region.

2.2 Population Podravska region

The Podravska statistical region had 16% of Slovenia’s population in 2016. The largest town in the region is Maribor. Its name comes from the Drava River and includes land on both banks along its course through Slovenia as well as the Pohorje mountains in the northeast of the region. The Drava is used for the production of hydroelectricity and the fertile land around it is used for agriculture. The share of job vacancies in all available jobs is among the highest in Slovenia and the region has a positive net migration rate but a very high natural decrease, which means an overall decrease in the population. The share of people aged 0 –14 was the second lowest (13.6%). Compared to the previous year, in 2016 the population slightly decreased. The share of children born to unmarried mothers was among the highest (68%). The share of deaths before 65 years of age was the third highest in the country (19.6%). The share of people aged 25–64 years with tertiary education (25%) was below the national average and the share of students from the region studying in the Osrednjeslovenska statistical region was the lowest (21%).

As is shown in Table 1, the population in the Podravska region is slightly increased from 2008 to 2018. This can not be said for the municipalities of Maribor and Kungota where there is a noticeable trend of the outflow of the population, especially of the younger generations.

2.3 Population change, demographic balance Slovenia, statistical region Podravska, municipalities Kungota, Maribor

The natural increase of the population, in total and individually by sex, is not presented in the Podravska region, neither in the Municipality of Maribor from 2008 till today. In the municipality of Kungota, the natural decrease is more perceptible since 2016. The reason is the bankruptcy of a number of metal processing industries in Maribor in the nineties, where a large number of residents from nearby and distant municipalities of north-eastern Slovenia were employed. Likewise, the last economic crisis had an impact on the emigration in the region and in both municipalities of TOTI LAS. Live births are decreasing from the year 2008 in Slovenia as well in region Podravska and in Kungota and Maribor.

Table 4 shows the basic population groups in Slovenia and statistical region Podravska from the year 2008 till first part of 2018. 94% of Slovenes and 6% of foreigners live in Slovenia, while 95% of Slovene residents and 5% of foreigners live in the Podravska region. The share of women is slightly higher among the domestic population, while among the foreigners the male sex is dominant. Since 2008, there has been a slight increase in foreign population by about 2%, that is, labor migrations from the former Yugoslav countries.
