V magistrskem delu je obravnavan položaj nekaterih medobčinskih središč v Sloveniji. Metodološki pristop temelji na primerjavi podatkov in vrednotenju po dveh sklopih kazalnikov, ki so bili oblikovani v okviru evropskega projekta Conspace. Sklopa sestavljajo kazalniki za merjenje regionalnega razvoja in oceno stanja prostorskih struktur ter kazalniki za ugotavljanje in merjenje prostorskih potencialov. Na podlagi hipoteze, da je položaj medobčinskega središča v urbanem sistemu v tesni povezanosti s prometno dostopnostjo, ki tudi ob zmanjševanju pomena fizične razdalje ostaja eden poglavitnih razvojnih dejavnikov funkcionalnih območij, so bili v nalogi raziskani vsi pomembni elementi regionalnega razvoja in prostorsko razvojnih potencialov. Dosežene vrednosti trinajstih proučevanih medobčinskih središč po posameznih kazalnikih so bile ovrednotene s točkami, ki so določile vrstni red središč. Po združitvi rezultatov in končnim vrstnim redom smo izpeljali še vrednotenje položaja medobčinskih središč z vidika prometne dostopnosti. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da se lega v prometnem omrežju ujema s kategorijami središč na podlagi raziskave po 51 kazalnikih: razvojno najbolj dinamična središča imajo najbolj ugodno dostopnost in najbolj ugodno prometno lego glede na ostala primerjana središča. Ta naselja bodo (lahko / verjetno) tudi v bodoče nosilci razvoja in krepitve svoje vloge v regiji. Središča, ki bodo znala izkoriščati dobro prometno lego in povezanost z drugimi naselji ter regijo, ki bodo skrbela za ustrezno demografsko in socioekonomsko strukturo in promovirala zdravo naravno in bogato kulturno okolje, bodo lahko uspešneje konkurirala z drugimi središči podobnega ranga. S tem bodo svojim prebivalcem omogočala višjo stopnjo blaginje in postajala vse bolj privlačna za življenje in delo. The main focus in my thesis is given to the position and influence of certain inter-municipal centers in Slovenia. The methodological approach is based on a comparison of data and evaluation of the two sets of indicators that have been developed within the framework of the European project Conspace. The set consists of indicators measuring regional development and assessment of spatial structures and indicators for the identification and measurement of spatial potentials. Based on the hypothesis that the position of inter-municipal center in the urban system is closely connected to the transport accessibility, which remains one of the main factors of development of functional areas despite lacking importance of physical distances, in the paper all the important elements of regional development and spatial development potentials were studied. The values achieved for thirteen intermunicipal centers were evaluated with points, which determines the order of the centers. After merging the obtained results and ranking further evaluation of the situation of inter-municipal centers in terms of transport accessibility was carried out. The results showed that the position of centres in the transport network match the final categories according to 51 indicators: the development of the most dynamic centers have the most favorable access and the most favorable transport position relative to the other compared centers. These centres will (may / probably) be the future bearers of development and strengthening of its role in the region. Center that will be able to exploit the good traffic location and links with other settlements and the region, which will promote an adequate demographic and socio-economic structure, and those who strive and promote healthy natural and rich cultural environment, will be able to successfully compete with other centers of similar rank. This will allow people a higher level of prosperity and become increasingly attractive to live and work.

Magistrska naloga zajema tematiko vrednotenja podjetij. Vključuje tradicionalne kazalnike uspešnosti poslovanja podjetij in sodobne modele vrednotenja podjetij. Tradicionalni kazalniki nam pomagajo razumeti poslovanje podjetja le, če jih primerjamo z relevantnimi drugimi kazalniki. Tradicionalni koncepti se ozko usmerjajo na poslovna dogajanja v preteklosti, težko pa je z njimi napovedovati prihodnost. Sodobni modeli vrednotenja podjetij pa temeljijo na pričakovanih koristih, ki jih bo dobil lastnik podjetja. Na podlagi sodobnih modelov vrednotenja podjetij ter s pomočjo diskontnega faktorja ugotavljamo končno »tržno« ceno podjetja. Modele sem implementiral na primeru podjetja Luka Koper. Luka Koper je podjetje, ki se ukvarja z logističnimi storitvami in je eno vodilnih podjetij v obalno-kraški regiji. S pomočjo tradicionalnih kazalnikov ugotavljam, da je kombinacija gospodarske krize, ki je vplivala na zmanjšanje povpraševanja po pretovornih storitvah in investicijske politike, ki je povečala ciklus zadolževanja - povzročila, da je Luka Koper v zadnjem obdobju dosegala zelo slabe rezultate. To pa še ne pomeni, da bo podjetje v prihodnosti poslovalo z negativnim poslovnim izidom. Izrazita negativna gibanja v gospodarsko vodilnih državah so se konec leta 2009 omilila, vendar so napovedi za leto 2010 dokaj zadržane in previdne. Pričakovati je postopno okrevanje svetovnega gospodarstva in s tem tudi povpraševanje po pretovornih storitvah. Sodobni modeli vrednotenja nam prikažejo različne tržne vrednosti podjetja. V nalogi sem izbral tri modele, in sicer: DCF, EVA in CFROI. Najbolj primerna vrednost Luke Koper je pridobljena z modelom CFROI in sicer v višini 898.619.110 EUR. Takšna vrednost je po mojih ocenah najbolj realna tržna vrednost Luke Koper. V zaključku naloge ugotavljam, da je najprimernejši sodobni model vrednotenja na primeru Luke Koper model CFROI. This master thesis is dealing with business evaluations, and includes traditional indicators of business performance and modern company evaluation models. Traditional indicators help us understand companies’ managements only if we compare them to other relevant indicators traditional concepts have a strict focus on business events in the past, thus is difficult to use them to predict the company’s future. On the other hand, modern company evaluation models are based on expected advantages received by the company’s owner. On the basis of modern company evaluation models and through the discount factor, we find out the final “market” price of a company. To implement company evaluation models, I used the Port of Koper as my example. The Port of Koper is dealing with logistics services and is one of the leading companies in the Coastal-Karst region. Through traditional indicators of business performance, I find out that the combination of the economic crisis that influenced on the decreased demand for transhipment services, and the investment policy, that increased the cycle of indebtedness, caused poor results for the Port of Koper in the last period. However, this does not mean that the company will deal with a negative operating result in the future. Explicitly negative trends in economically leading countries have softened at the end of 2009, but the predictions for 2010 are rather reserved and prudent. We can expect a gradual recovery of the World Economy and hence also the demand for transhipment services. The modern company evaluation models show us different market values of the company. In my master thesis, I chose three different modern company evaluation models: DCF, EVA and CFROI. The most correct value is obtained using the CFROI model – the result is 898.619.110 EUR. I think that this value is the most realistic market value of the Port of Koper. In conclusion of my master thesis, I find that the most suitable modern company evaluation model on the example of the Port of Koper is the CFROI company evaluation model.
