V prispevku so opisane glavne značilnosti kraških območij, ki so bile v projektu Interreg ECO KARST spoznane kot najpomembnejše za trajnostni razvoj na lokalni ravni. Poleg storitev, ki jih opravljajo kraški ekosistemi pri ohranjanju biotske raznovrstnosti, blaženju naravnih tveganj, oskrbi s pitno vodo, kmetijskimi in gozdnimi proizvodi ter omogočanju razvoja trajnostnega turizma, so obravnavani tudi programi za izobraževanje in ozaveščanje na področju okolja in naravi prijaznega podjetništva ter pristopi za izboljšanje upravljanja na zavarovanih kraških območjih. Za doseganje optimalnih učinkov vsakega od naštetih ključnih strateških področij trajnostnega razvoja so opisane smernice za potrebno ravnanje ključnih deležnikov na lokalni in nacionalni ravni. Navedene so tudi aktivnosti nadaljnjega sodelovanja petnajstih partnerjev projekta iz devetih držav, ki so potrebne za doseganje trajnosti rezultatov projekta. This paper describes the main characteristics of the karst areas, which were identified as the most important for sustainable development at the local level in the Interreg ECO KARST project. In addition to the services provided by Karst ecosystems in preserving biodiversity, mitigating natural hazards, supplying drinking water, agricultural and forest products and facilitating the development of sustainable tourism, education and awareness raising programs in the field of environment and pro-biodiversity businesses and approaches for improving management in the protected karst areas are also discussed. To achieve the optimum impact of each of these key strategic areas of the sustainable development, the guidelines for the necessary actions of key stakeholders at the local and national levels are described. The activities necessary for achieving the sustainability of the results of the project through further cooperation of fifteen project partners from nine countries are also indicated.

V prispevku smo predstavili novo metodologijo za razmejevanje kmetijskih oziroma primestnih krajin, hkrati pa smo pripravili nabor enostavnih kazalnikov (stopnja gozdnatosti, število zaplat, oblika in velikost gozdnih zaplat, prostorska razmestitev in povezanost gozdnih zaplat). S pomočjo omenjenih kazalnikov in nekaj zdrave pameti smo ugotovili, da večino tako dobljenih kmetijskih krajin v zahodni, severni in južni Sloveniji obdaja vsaj na eni strani gozdna(ta) matica, ki hkrati z razmeroma zadostno gozdnatostjo samih krajin omogoča prehajanje vrstam med matico in kmetijskimi krajinami. V osrednji Sloveniji, na Gorenjskem in v vzhodni Sloveniji pa se srečujemo z drobljenjem nekdaj enovitih kmetijskih krajin zaradi avtocest in deloma zajezitev rek Save in Drave. V teh krajinah so za oceno pestrosti pomembni izsledki, ki jih pridobimo z ovrednotenjem kazalnikov oblike in velikosti krajin, gozdnatosti krajin oziroma gostote zaplat, velikostnega razreda in oblike gozdnih zaplat. In this article we present a new methodology for delineating agricultural or suburban landscapes and, at the same time, we prepared a set of simple indicators (forest cover level, number of patches, shape and size of forest patches, spatial distribution and connection of forest patches). By the use of these indicators and some common sense, we have found out, that the majority of thus acquired agricultural landscapes in western, northern, and southern Slovenia is surrounded by the forest(ed) matrix, which along with relatively sufficient forest cover of the landscapes themselves enables passage of species between matrix and agricultural landscapes. In the central Slovenia, in Gorenjska, and in the eastern Slovenia we encounter fragmentation of once uniform agricultural landscapes due to highways and, partly, damming of the Sava and Drava rivers. In these landscapes, findings, we get by evaluating of indicators of the landscapes% shape and size, landscape%s forest cover or density of patches, size class and shape of forest patches are important for the diversity evaluation.
