Rakova Jelša and Sibirija are the only two neighborhoods in Ljubljana with a majority of non Slovene population. They were formed with immigration from the former Yugo slavia since 1970s. This immigration to Slovenia and Ljubljana and correspondent deve lopment of ethnic neighborhoods Rakova Jelša and Sibirija are presented in the paper. Basic socioeconomic characteristics of both neighborhoods are analyzed on the basis of census data from 1981 to 2011. With the survey of local population we tried to evaluate the satisfaction with the quality of the living environment and analyzed the issue of inte gration of immigrants into the new environment. Rakova Jelša in Sibirija sta edini soseski v Ljubljani z večinskim neslovenskim prebivalstvom. Nastali sta s priseljevanjem prebivalstva iz območja nekdanje Jugoslavije od sedemdesetih let dalje. Predstavljen je proces priseljevanja prebivalstva iz nekdanje Jugoslavije v Slovenijo in Ljubljano ter nastajanje etničnih četrti Rakova Jelša in Sibirija. Na osnovi analize popisnih podatkov med letoma 1981 in 2011 so predstavljene osnovne so cioekonomske značilnosti prebivalstva, z anketiranjem lokalnega prebivalstva smo ocenili tudi zadovoljstvo s kvaliteto bivalnega okolja in analizirali problematiko integracije priseljencev v novo okolje.

The paper is analysing spatial and population development of settlements in Ljubljana Urban Region after 2002. On the basis of population change we determined the main urbanisation processes in the region. To the end of 1970s fast population growth was due to immigration from rural parts of Slovenia and the rest of Yugoslavia. In the 1980s and 1990s deconcentration of population within the region with intense suburbanisation were the main processes. After 2002 the fastest population growth was in in the rural hinterland. Dispersed settlement pattern with all negative implications of urban sprawl is thus characteristic. Prispevek analizira prostorski in prebivalstveni razvoja naselij v Ljubljanski urbani regiji po letu 2002 in opredeljuje poglavitne urbanizacijske procese. Sprva je bila hitra rast prebivalstva zaradi priseljevanja iz ruralnih delov Slovenije in republik bivše Jugoslavije, pozneje sta prevladovali dekoncentracija prebivalstva in intenzivna suburbanizacija. Po letu 2002 je najhitrejša rast prebivalstva v ruralnih naseljih v zaledju. Na ta način je suburbanizacija prešla v periurbanizacijo, zato je značilna razpršena poselitev z vsemi negativni posledicami urban sprawl.

One of the most important research topics in social urban geography is spatial patterning and measuring of social difference and inequality. The main objective of the paper is to analyze and delineate the characteristics of social spatial segregation in Ljubljana. The research is based on an analysis of data from the 2011 population census. The basic method used was an analysis of the socio-economic, ethnic and family segregation of population on the territory of the Ljubljana Urban Municipality based on a comparison of the share of selected population groups in the former local communities. Eno od poglavitnih raziskovalnih področij v socialni urbani geografiji je preučevanje prostorske socialne segregacije in neenakosti. Glavni namen prispevka je analiza in predstavitev značilnosti prostorske socialne segregacije v Ljubljani. Raziskava temelji na analizi podatkov iz popisa prebivalstva leta 2011. Kot poglavitna raziskovalna metoda je bila uporabljena analiza socioekonomske, etnične in družinske segregacije prebivalstva na osnovi primerjave deleža izbranih skupin prebivalstva na območju nekdanjih krajevnih skupnosti.

The objective of the article is the analysis of population change and spatial development of the settlements in the southern part of the Ljubljana urban region. This part was defined as the area comprising the municipalities of Borovnica, Brezovica, Log-Dragomer, Ig and Škofljica. It can be divided into nearby suburbs, suburbanised settlements, and rural settlements. The question was if there were differences in the population and spatial development of settlements and, if there were any significant changes in the population development of settlements after 2002. Prispevek prinaša rezultate analize spreminjanja števila prebivalstva in sočasnega prostorskega razvoja naselij južnega dela Ljubljanske urbane regije, ki smo ga opredelili kot območje občin Borovnica, Brezovica, Log-Dragomer, Ig in Škofljica. To območje vključuje ožje suburbanizirano obmestje, širše obmestje in podeželska naselja. Želeli smo ugotoviti, ali se dinamika spreminjanja števila prebivalstva in prostorski razvoj naselij razlikujeta. Zanimalo nas je tudi, ali je v primerjavi z obdobjem pred letom 2002 prišlo do pomembnejših sprememb v gibanju in težnjah spreminjanja števila prebivalstva.

The paper is based on the results of research project Linking policies and criteria for achieving the sustainable spatial development of towns and other settlements in functional urban areas. The main goal is to describe the main process in spatial urban and suburban development in Slovenia and at the same time to highlight the discordance between the goals and objectives of spatial policies and actual urban development. In this context reasons for poor and inadequate implementation of European and national strategic policies of urban development at local (municipal) level are presented. Prispevek sloni na rezultatih in ugotovitvah Ciljnega raziskovalnega programa Povezovanje kriterijev in ukrepov za doseganje trajnostnega prostorskega razvoja mest in drugih naselij v širšem mestnem prostoru. Cilj članka je izpostaviti najznačilnejše procese v prostorskem razvoju slovenskih mest in obmestij in opozoriti na neskladja med cilji ter usmeritvami slovenske prostorske politike in prostorskega načrtovanja ter dejanskim prostorskim razvojem. Poskušali smo navesti tudi nekatere razloge za relativno neuspešno implementacijo evropskih in nacionalnih usmeritev in ciljev prostorske politike na lokalnem (občinskem) nivoju.

The paper is based on the results of research project "Linking policies and criteria for achieving the sustainable spatial development of towns and other settlements in functional urban areas", which was carried out in 2007 and 2008 by researchers of Department of Geography at Faculty of Arts of University in Ljubljana and Urban Planning Institute of the Republic of Slovenia. The paper presents only a part of the results of the research project, predominantly the analysis of trends and processes of spatial development in Maribor. Maribor and its urban region was chosen as a case study area in the research project. The main goal of the paper is to describe the most prominent process in spatial urban development of Maribor and at the same time to highlight the discordance between the goals and objectives of spatial policies and actual urban development. Prispevek sloni na rezultatih ciljnega raziskovalnega projekta "Povezovanje kriterijev in ukrepov za doseganje trajnostnega prostorskega razvoja mest in drugih naselij v širšem mestnem prostoru", ki so ga v letih 2007 in 2008 izvedli sodelavci Oddelka za geografijo na Filozofski fakulteti Univerze v Ljubljani in Urbanističnega inštituta Republike Sloveniji. Članek se omejuje na predstavitev dela rezultatov omenjenega raziskovalnega projekta, zlasti rezultatov analize stanja, teženj in novejših procesov v prostorskem razvoju Maribora. Maribor in celotna Mariborska urbana regija je bila izbrana kot vzorčno območje v raziskovalnem projektu. Temeljni cilj članka je izpostaviti najznačilnejše procese v prostorskem razvoju mesta Maribor in hkrati opozoriti na neskladja oziroma razkorak med cilji ter usmeritvami slovenske prostorske politike in prostorskega načrtovanja ter dejanskim prostorskim razvojem.

In the early 1990s, Croatia and Slovenia, along with other Central and Eastern European countries, began a process of economic transition from centrally planned to market economy. The main goal of the paper is to compare developments of new forms of retail outlets in Zagreb and Ljubljana after 1990 and to explain similarities and differences in the trend of retail development in two capital cities. The second goal is to determine the level of development of social functions of retail centres and to determine similarities and differences in the function of retail centers in Zagreb and Ljubljana.

Over the past 15 years Slovenia has gone through major economic and political changes. Retail was just one of the economic activities that went through process of transition. In the paper main characteristics of the development of retail and Ljubljana with special regard to new suburban shopping centres are presented. Main goal of this paper is to research spatial distribution and functions of shopping centres and hypermarkets in Ljubljana. In order to establish whether shopping centres have started to develop social functions or are they still predominantly places of retail questionnaire survey in 5 largest shopping centres was conducted.

Different concepts and definitions of modern urbanisation trends are presented and evaluated in the paper. The study of urbanisation trends has become one of main topics of urban geography. In 20th century different processes of decentralisation and deconcentration of population and employment within urban areas and between urban and rural areas appeared. To name and describe this processes different terms were used: suburbanisation, exurbanisation, counterurbanisation, periurbanisation, reurbanisation and urban sprawl. The model of stages of urban development is presented as well. V prispevku želimo predstaviti in ovrednotiti različne poglede in opredelitve sodobnih procesov preobrazbe urbanih območij. Preučevanje sodobnih urbanizacijskih procesov in prostorske preobrazbe urbanih območij je postala ena izmed osrednjih vsebin urbane geografije. V 20. stoletju so se pojavili in okrepili različni procesi prostorske decentralizacije in dekoncentracije prebivalstva in zaposlitve, tako znotraj urbanih območij kot med urbanimi in ruralnimi območji. Za poimenovanje in opisovanje teh procesov so se uveljavili različni izrazi: suburbanizacija, periurbanizacija, eksurbanizacija, counterurbanizacija, reurbanizacija in razpršena urbanizacija(urban sprawl). Predstavljen je tudi model urbanizacijskega cikla, ki opisuje in pojasnjuje potek urbanizacijskih procesov.

V prispevku je prikazan prebivalstveni razvoj Ljubljane po letu 1945. V prvem delu smo orisali razvoj prebivalstva za celotno območje Ljubljane in njene okolice po posameznih letih ter določili, kolikšen del rasti prebivalstva je posledica selitvenega gibanja in kolikšen delež naravnega gibanja prebivalstva. V drugem delu smo analizirali razvoj prebivalstva po posameznih delih mesta.

V prispevku je predstavljena ena izmed najpogosteje uporabljenih metod multivariantne analize in zgled njene uporabe v geografiji. S faktorsko analizo smo na primeru Ptuja določili tiste značilnosti prebivalstva, ki mestni prostor najbolje ločujejo med seboj, ter določili dele mesta z značilno socialno sestavo prebivalstva.

V diplomskem delu je predstavljen prostorski razvoj Starega trga in njegove okolice kot rezultat številnih zgodovinskih dogodkov, ki so vplivali na spreminjanje njegove kulturne pokrajine v posameznih obdobjih. Pri tem smo s pomočjo literature in ohranjenih načrtov poskušali orisati, kako se je prostor razvijal vse od nastanka naselbine pod Grajskim gričem do danes ter kakšne posledice so na prostoru pustile spremembe, ki so pogojevale razvoj tega območja do konca 20. stoletja. Poleg tega je predstavljena socialna in funkcijska preobrazba Starega trga od preloma tisočletja do danes s poudarkom na gentrifikaciji in turistifikaciji, ki pomembno vplivata na razvoj in podobo starih mestnih središč v današnjem času. K natančnejši analizi izbrane teme je pripomoglo anketiranje prebivalcev Starega trga, v kateri smo jih povprašali o prednostih in slabostih bivanja na Starem trgu. Pridobljene podatke smo za lažjo predstavo tudi grafično prikazali. The thesis presents the spatial development of the Old Square and its surroundings as a result of a number of historical events that have influenced the change of its cultural landscape in different periods. With the help of literature and preserved plans, we have tried to outline how the area has evolved from the foundation of the settlement below Castle Hill to the present day, and what consequences the changes that conditioned the development of the area until the end of the 20th century have had on the space. In addition, the social and functional transformation of the Old Square from the turn of the millennium to the present day is presented, with an emphasis on gentrification and touristisation, which have a significant impact on the development and image of old town centres today. A more detailed analysis of the chosen topic was facilitated by a survey of the inhabitants of the Old Square, in which they were asked about the advantages and disadvantages of living in the Old Square. The data obtained were also presented graphically to facilitate the presentation.

Osnovni namen magistrskega dela je preučiti izbrane urbanistične izzive, s katerimi se srečuje mesto Škofja Loka. Gre za degradirana urbana območja, ki so potrebna ustrezne revitalizacije. V prvem delu je predstavljen zgodovinski razvoj industrije v Škofji Loki in zgodovinsko ozadje preučevanih objektov ter lokacij. V nadaljevanju sledi analiza današnjega stanja in razlaga, zakaj in kako je prišlo do nastale situacije. V zadnjem delu se nahajajo predlogi, kako bi jih lahko ustrezno in uspešno revitalizirali. Na obrobju dobro ohranjenega srednjeveškega središča Škofje Loke, so se pojavila območja, ki so zaradi decentralizacije industrije zapuščena. Danes se zaradi konfliktov o uporabi in nevzdrževanja počasi spreminjajo v degradirana urbana območja. The main aim of the master thesis is to study selected urban challenges facing the town of Škofja Loka. These are deprived urban areas that need proper revitalization. The first part presents the historical development of industry in Škofja Loka and the historical background of the studied facilities and locations. The following part is an analysis of the current situation and explanation of why and how the situation arose. In the last part, there are suggestions on how to revitalize them properly and successfully. On the outskirts of the well-preserved medieval centre of Škofja Loka, areas have emerged that have been abandoned due to the decentralization of industry. Today, due to conflicts over use and non-maintenance, they are slowly turning into brownfields.

S pojmom "somestje" opredeljujemo skupine medsebojno povezanih mest in/ali drugih naselij, ki so zaradi lastne rasti in pripojitev manjših naselij danes fizično in funkcionalno povezana. V diplomskem delu z naslovom Prostorski in gospodarski razvoj Somestja Brežice-Krško-Sevnica so obravnavana mesta Brežice, Krško in Sevnica kot funkcionalno delujoče somestje. Izpostavljen je podroben potek gospodarskega razvoja somestja v preteklosti, prostorska rast posameznih mest, zgodovinski razvoj širšega območja ter naravnogeografske in družbenogeografske značilnosti, ki so oblikovale to pokrajino in narekovale smer razvoja mest do sedaj ter ga bodo tudi v prihodnosti. Somestje je največji prostorski razvoj doživelo v drugi polovici prejšnjega stoletja na račun rastoče industrije in priseljevanja ljudi v mesta iz agrarno nazadujočega zaledja. Širilo se je izven svojih srednjeveških meja vzdolž glavnih prometnic. Velik pomen sta tako za prostorsko širitev kot gospodarstvo imela železnica in reka Sava. Med industrijskimi dejavnostmi prevladujejo kovinska, tekstilna in lesna industrija. V Posavju deluje edina slovenska jedrska elektrarna, termoelektrarna in veriga petih hidroelektrarn. Funkcijo regionalnega središča opravlja somestje Brežice-Krško-Sevnica s porazdelitvijo upravnih, zdravstvenih, izobraževalnih, športnih, kulturnih, turističnih in drugih poslovnih funkcij. Danes so državni organi in institucije javnega prava v Posavju razporejeni večinoma v Krškem in Brežicah, nekaj pa jih je tudi v Sevnici. With the term "conurbation" we define groups of interconnected towns and/or other settlements which, due to their own growth and annexation of smaller settlements, are today physically and functionally connected. In the thesis titled Spatial and economic development of the Conurbation Brežice-Krško-Sevnica, the cities of Brežice, Krško and Sevnica are considered as a functional conurbation. The detailed course of the economic development of the conurbation, the spatial growth of individual cities, the historical development of the wider area and the natural-geographical and socio-geographical features that have shaped the landscape and dictated the direction of the cities’ development up to now and in the future are highlighted. The conurbation experienced its greatest spatial development in the second half of the last century at the expense of growing industry and the immigration of people to the cities from the agrarian backward hinterland. It spread beyond its medieval borders along major thoroughfares. The railway and the Sava River were of great importance for both spatial expansion and the economy. Among the industrial activities, the metal, textile and wood industries dominate. The only Slovenian nuclear power plant, a thermal power plant and a chain of five hydroelectric power plants operate in Posavje. The conurbation, which also serves as a regional center, distributes its administrative, health, educational, sports, cultural, tourist and other business functions across its area. Today, state bodies and institutions of public law in Posavje are located mostly in Krško and Brežice, but some of them are also in Sevnica.

Bitnje so dolga obcestna vas, ki leži na robu Kranjskega Sorškega polja na območju Gorenjske. Od prvih omemb nastanka se je naselje širilo in s tem krčilo okoliške travnike in gozdove. Danes so kmetije in hiše na zahodni strani ceste Kranj - Škofja Loka, na vzhodni strani imajo kmetije pripadajoča zemljišča v obliki prog, ki so takšne oblike, kot so bile leta 1501. Na področju Bitenj je veliko nepremičnin, ki imajo status nepremične kulturne dediščine. Bitnje so z ene strani zaščitene z NATURO 2000, zato je širjenje naselja do neke mere onemogočeno, na drugi strani glavne ceste Kranj – Škofja Loka se nahaja Sorško polje, ki je namenjeno kmetijskim površinam. Del območja Bitenj je opredeljeno kot Kulturna krajina Bitnje, vpisana v Register kulturne dediščine, zato je tu še posebej potrebno ohranjati varovane vrednote. Bitnje is a long roadside village, which lies on the edge of Kranjsko-Sorško field in the Gorenjska region. From the first mention of its formation, the village has been expanded, which consequently reduced surrounding meadows and forests. Today, there are farms and houses on the west side of the Kranj – Škofja Loka road, whereas on the east side of the Kranj – Škofja Loka road, the farms have their corresponding land, which is line shaped (in the form of stripes) since 1501. There are several properties in Bitnje, which have the status of immovable cultural herritage. Bitnje is protected by NATURA 2000 from one side, which ensures it can not be further expanded on the other side there is Kranjsko-Sorško field, which is used as agricultural area. Part of the Bitnje area is defined as the Cultural Landscape of Bitnje, entered in the Register of the Cultural Heritage, so it is especially important necessary to preserve all the protected areas.

Magistrsko delo na podlagi sistematičnega popisa ukrepov proti širjenju covida-19, raziskovanja zelenih površin in obsežne ankete skuša prikazati vlogo zelenih površin v času pandemije, na primeru Golovca, Rožnika in Ljubljanskega gradu. To doseže tako, da na podlagi enakih raziskav onesnaženosti in degradacije na zelenih površinah leta 2019 in 2022 določi spremembo vloge zelenih površin med leti, ko je življenje zaznamovala pandemija covida-19. Raziskave so sestavljene iz pregleda poti na posameznih zelenih površinah v iskanju sprememb v potni eroziji in določanju onesnaženosti s popisovanjem najdenih odpadkov. To je dopolnjeno še z anketo, ki obsega vprašanja glede življenja v času pandemije, uporabe zelenih površin pred in med pandemijo in mnenja o vplivu zelenih površin na različne segmente življenja. Zelene površine so v času pandemije postale bolj pomembne za družbo, saj so ponujale prostor za sproščanje in rekreacijo, še posebej v času omejitve gibanja na občine in regije. Zelene površine so služile tudi kot prostor za socializacijo, saj so se nanje umikali posamezniki, da bi se izognili kaznim, ko je bilo druženje prepovedano. Zaradi teh novih vlog so zelene površine na splošno bolj cenjene, vprašanje pa je, ali bo to ostalo tudi po koncu pandemije. Based on a systematic inventory of measures against the spread of covid-19, research on green areas and an extensive survey, the master thesis tries to show the role of green areas during the pandemic using the example of Golovec, Rožnik and Ljubljana Castle. This is accomplished by determining the change in the role of green areas during the years life was shaped by the covida-19 pandemic, based on the same research on pollution and degradation of green areas in 2019 and 2022. The research consists of an overview of the paths on individual green areas in the search for changes in path erosion and the determination of pollution by inventorying the waste found. This is complemented by a survey containing questions about life during the pandemic, the use of green areas before and during the pandemic, and opinions on the impact of green areas on different areas of life. Green areas gained in importance for society during the pandemic, as they offered a place of relaxation and exercise, especially in times when movement was restricted to municipalities and regions. Green areas also served as a space for socialization, as individuals withdrew to avoid punishment when socialization was forbidden. Because of these new roles, green areas are generally valued higher, and the question is whether this will continue after the pandemic is over.

Urban centres represent areas where the majority of the world’s population resides, and an estimate is that by 2050 around 68% of the world’s population will be residing in large urban centres around the world. These areas are also the ones with the largest environmental impact and the highest share of greenhouse gas emissions. Of all urban greenhouse gas emissions, urban transport-related emissions represent a significant portion of roughly 18%. Moreover, urban transport takes up a significant part of urban space it negatively affects urban air quality and the health of urban residents, and it impacts their movement and social patterns. There is thus a need to redesign and transform the way urban mobility functions, with a greater role of active modes of mobility. This master's thesis, titled »Possibilities for the management of urban greenways in developing countries” or »Možnosti urejanja urbanih zelenih poti v državah v razvoju«, explores how this could be achieved through the implementation of urban greenways as a type of infrastructure that accommodates active modes of mobility. In the thesis, practices in planning and designing urban greenways for active mobility in different parts of the world are reviewed. Through a literature review, historical development of greenways and green areas in cities are reviewed, and benefits of urban greenways and the potentials of urban greenways for the advancement of active mobility are analysed and consolidated. An overview of case studies from Europe, America and Asia is represented, and a comparison between different case studies is made, with their benefits and opportunities identified. Lastly, the potentials and benefits for applying urban greenways in urban centres of developing countries, as well as potential challenges faced in doing so, are discussed, as this is where the largest population growth and the largest environmental impact are expected in the future. Urban greenways are seen as an effective method for achieving sustainable urban mobility with low- and zero- carbon emissions. As the study has shown, urban greenways have numerous benefits for their users and residents of urban areas, such as health, environmental and economic benefits. It has been identified that there are various ways to the approach of designing greenways, which allows municipalities to develop greenways based on their needs and local factors. Urbana središča predstavljajo območja, kjer prebiva večina svetovnega prebivalstva, in napovedi nakazujejo, da bo do leta 2050 približno 68 % celotnega svetovnega prebivalstva prebivalo v velikih urbanih središčih po svetu. Ta območja imajo hkrati največji okoljski odtis in največji delež izpustov toplogrednih plinov. Od vseh urbanih toplogrednih izpustov predstavljajo izpusti, povezani z urbanim transportom, bistven delež, približno 18 %. Poleg tega urbani transport zavzema precejšen delež urbanega prostora, negativno vpliva na kakovost zraka, zdravje mestnega prebivalstva ter gibanje in družbene vzorce mestnega prebivalstva. Zaradi tega se pojavlja potreba po preoblikovanju in transformaciji urbane mobilnosti z večjo vlogo aktivnih oblik mobilnosti. V magistrskem delu smo raziskovali, kako bi to lahko bilo doseženo z implementacijo urbanih zelenih poti kot tipa infrastrukture, ki je namenjena aktivnim oblikam urbane mobilnosti. Pregledali smo različne prakse pri načrtovanju in oblikovanju urbanih zelenih poti za namen aktivne mobilnosti v različnih predelih sveta. S pomočjo pregleda literature smo raziskali zgodovinski razvoj zelenih površin in drevoredov v mestnih območjih ter koristi in potenciale urbanih zelenih poti. Pregledali smo študije primerov urbanih zelenih poti iz Evrope, Amerike in Azije ter primerjali različne primere z opredelitvijo njihovih prednosti in koristi. Kot zadnje smo raziskali tudi potenciale in koristi ter potencialne ovire pri aplikaciji urbanih zelenih poti v urbanih središčih držav v razvoju, kjer se v prihodnosti pričakujeta največja rast prebivalstva ter največji okoljski odtis. Urbane zelene poti so predpostavljene kot učinkovita metoda za doseganje trajnostne urbane mobilnosti. Študija je pokazala, da imajo urbane zelene poti veliko koristi za obiskovalce in občane urbanih območij, na primer za zdravje, okolje in ekonomijo. Ugotovili smo, da pri načrtovanju urbanih zelenih poti obstajajo zelo različni pristopi, kar mestnim občinam dopušča, da razvijejo urbane zelene poti v skladu z lastnimi potrebami in lokalnimi dejavniki.

Diplomsko delo preučuje in analizira socialno in prostorsko preobrazbo ljubljanske četrti Krakovo. V delu sem skušala ugotoviti, do kakšne socialne in prostorske preobrazbe je prišlo v ljubljanski četrti Krakovo v zadnjih desetletjih in kateri dejavniki oziroma procesi jo spodbujajo. V ta namen sem pregledala literaturo urbane geografije in sociologije mest, pri čemer sem se osredotočila na sodobne procese urbane preobrazbe (neoliberalnih) mest. Ker gre za lokalno specifične procese, sem posebej izpostavila procese v Ljubljani. S terenskim delom sem pridobila aktualne podatke o razmerah v Krakovem, ki je v preteklosti slovelo po vrtovih. Danes je območje zavarovano kot kulturna dediščina, kar ima vpliv tudi na prostorski razvoj. Izvedla sem anketo, pogovore s prebivalci in kartiranje dejavnosti. Na podlagi teh sem ugotovila, da v zadnjih desetih letih prihaja do obnavljanja in priseljevanja višje izobraženih. Vrtovi se opuščajo, prihaja tudi do funkcijskih sprememb območja. Zaznavam znake gentrifikacije in turistifikacije. Zaradi omejenih podatkov o prenovah in demografskih lastnostih prebivalstva načete teme ostajajo izziv za nadaljnjo proučevanje Krakovega. The thesis examines and analyses the social and spatial transformation of the quarter Krakovo in Ljubljana. In the thesis, I tried to find out what kind of social and spatial transformation has been going on in the quarter for the last decade and which factors or processes promote it. For that purpose, I reviewed the literature on urban geography and sociology. I focused especially on the contemporary processes of urban transformation in (neoliberal) cities. They are influenced by local factors, and I particularly pointed out the ones happening in Ljubljana. With fieldwork I collected the current data on the processes in Krakovo, which used to be famous for its gardens in the past. I made a survey, interviewed the local population, and mapped the economic activities. From the collected data I concluded that highly educated people have been immigrating to Krakovo in the last decade. Gardens got abandoned and new activities are present in the area now. I indicated signs of gentrification and touristification. The biggest problem is collecting demographic data and information about renovations. So, there are still plenty of topics left to do research on in Krakovo.

Pojem samooskrbe se v zadnjih nekaj letih množično pojavlja v medijev oziroma je predmet številnih formalnih in neformalnih razprav. Tema diplomske naloge je bila izbrana z željo po bolj temeljiti preučitvi aktualnih razmer v slovenskem kmetijstvu, njegovem vplivu na okolje v tako nacionalnem kot globalnem oziru. V metodološkem polju bo prevladovala interpretacija in analiza primarnih in sekundarnih virov podatkov ter opisna oziroma deskriptivna raziskovalna metoda. Teoretski del naloge bo vseboval dosedanja dela geografske stroke na temo sonaravnega razvoja, opravljanja z okoljskimi viri ter funkcijskega pregleda pokrajinskih tipov slovenske kmetijske pokrajine. Pretekle raziskave ter analize bodo nadgrajene z aktualnimi znanstvenimi raziskavami ter izračuni okoljskih pritiskov sodobnega kmetijstva na agrarne in naravne ekosisteme. Velik poudarek pa bo na analiziranju kmetijskih subvencij iz nacionalnega in evropskega proračuna, iz tega pa bo sledila hipoteza, ki bo reflektirala potencialne vplive razporeditve finančne pomoči na zmožnost samooskrbe ter socialno in regionalno neenakost slovenskega prostora. V zaključku bo predstavljenih tudi nekaj pozitivnih primerov in pobud s strani nevladnih organizacij, društev ter samostojnih raziskovalcev. The concept of self-sufficiency has been massively appearing in the media over the past few years or is the subject of numerous formal and informal discussions. The topic of the thesis was chosen with the wish to study more thoroughly the current situation in Slovenian agriculture and its impact on the environment in both national and global contexts. In the methodological field, the interpretation and analysis of primary and secondary data sources and the descriptive research method will prevail. The theoretical part of the task will include the present work of the geographical profession on the subject of sustainable development, the provision of environmental resources and the functional review of the landscape types of the Slovenian agricultural landscape. Past research and analysis will be upgraded with current scientific research and calculations of the environmental pressures of modern agriculture on agrarian and natural ecosystems. A great deal of emphasis will be on analyzing agricultural subsidies from the national and European budgets, followed by a hypothesis that will reflect on the potential effects of the allocation of financial assistance on the ability of self-sufficiency and the social and regional inequality of the Slovenian territory. In conclusion, some positive examples and initiatives by non-governmental organizations, societies and independent researchers will be presented.
