Development of multi-criteria decision model for the selection of actions in building reconstruction

In the field of the renewal of buildings the research of decision support tools has so far largely been focused on the different models of single criteria decision-making. These models did not provide a full picture of the state of the buildings and the necessary renewal measures. The thesis combines the most important criteria into one multicriteria decision model. Reneval costs, life cycle costs and benefits related to improved earthquake resistance are considered. The developed tool allows/enables us to cover all aspects of renewal of buildings and, at least from the standpoint of costs and benefits, submit the optimal solution. At the same time, the task of the thesis is to identify and present in detail all factors influencing the selection of the best solutions for all types of construction works and not only for the selected group of buildings. The developed multicriteria decision model can only be applied to certain types of buildings, but forms a good basis for the development of new models that will be used for other types of construction works

Residual value methods for valuation and assessment of investments in real estate

Metoda preostanka vrednosti oziroma donosa spada na področju nepremičnin med zahtevnejše metode vrednotenja nepremičnin oziroma zemljišč in je uporabna samo v specifičnih primerih. Največji problem so kakovostni vhodni podatki. Nekritična uporaba vhodnih podatkov pri oceni vrednosti lahko privede do popolnoma napačne ocene. Zato je namen magistrske naloge podrobno analizirati metodo preostanka, in sicer kot metodo preostanka vrednosti in kot metodo preostanka donosa. Cilj raziskave je preveriti uporabnost metode preostanka za oceno uspešnosti investiranja nepremičnine v Republiki Sloveniji. Postavljena je naslednja temeljna hipoteza: Metoda preostanka je bolj uporabna na področju presoje naložb v nepremičnine kot na področju vrednotenja nepremičnin. Raziskovalna vprašanja, povezana s to hipotezo, so: (a) Kako povečati uporabnost metode preostanka? (b) Kako izboljšati količino (popolnost zajema) in kakovost podatkov za povečanje zanesljivosti ocene na podlagi metode preostanka? (c) Katere informacijske podlage bi potrebovali za izboljšanje kakovosti rezultatov, dobljenih na podlagi metode preostanka? Hipotezi in vprašanjem ustrezno je zasnovana metoda dela. Najprej so analizirane obstoječe raziskave z obravnavanega področja, izvedena kritična analiza metode preostanka in potrebnih podatkov za njeno uporabo. Sledi analiza razmerij med ceno stanovanj in ceno zemljišč ter stroški gradnje, na podlagi katere smo dokazali, da ima metoda omejeno možnost uporabe v obdobju nestabilnega nepremičninskega trga. Raziskava dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na uporabo metode preostanka, je narejena s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika. V anketo je bilo vključenih 89 cenilcev. Ugotovljeno je, da se metoda preostanka v praksi redko kdaj uporablja za oceno vrednosti zemljišča in je bolj primerna za oceno vrednosti za naložbenika. V zadnjem delu sta podrobno prikazana dva primera uporabe metode preostanka. Na podlagi predhodnih in te raziskave lahko zaključimo, da je metoda preostanka bolj uporabna na področju presoje naložb v nepremičnine kot na področju vrednotenja nepremičnin.Residual value or yield analysis is an advanced method of real estate valuation, applicable in a limited number of cases only. Its biggest problem is the quality of the input data. Less than critical use of the input data may lead to a completely wrong assessment. Therefore, the purpose of the thesis is to analyse in detail the residual method as a residual values as well as residual yield method. The aim of the survey is to determine the adequacy of the method in evaluating the performance real estate investments in the Republic of Slovenia. The underlying hypothesis posited is: the residual method is more useful in assessing real estate investments in real estate compared to real estate valuation. Research issues related to this hypothesis are: (a) how to increase the usefulness of the residual method? (b) how to improve the volume (the perfection of covers) and the quality of the data in order to increase the reliability of the estimates, based on the residual method? (c) Which information bases would need to improve the quality of the results obtained on the basis of the residual method? Hypothesis and the question of the proper method are the basis of the work presented here. First, the existing research areas under consideration were analysed and a critical analysis of the residual method and the necessary data for it performed. The next step was an analysis of the relationship between the prices of housing and the land and the construction costs, on the basis of which we could prove that the method is less adequate in periods of unstable real estate market. The survey of the factors affecting the use of the methods of the balance was made by means of a questionnaire. The survey involved 89 respondents. The conclusion is that the residual method has in practice been rarely used for real estate valuation and proved more suitable when assessing the investor’s value. Two detailed examples of the application of the residual method are included. Based on the past and current research we can conclude that the residual method is a better choice when assessing the yield of the real estate investment than when determining its value

Raziskovanje za zdravje, zdravje za znanje

Poslanstvo vsake konference je povezovati. Nikoli kot sedaj ni dvoma o tem, da so poklici v zdravstvu poklici prihodnosti, brez katerih - ali bolje rečeno ob pomanjkanju katerih - je ogroženo delovanje sodobne družbe, zato smo ponosni, da se je povezovanje fakultet neprekinjeno obdržalo že več kot desetletje. Izobraževalne ustanove smo dolžne opozarjati na pereče probleme družbe in od odločevalcev zahtevati večjo podporo znanstveno-raziskovalnemu delu. Tudi zato iz leta v leto poudarjamo izjemen pomen raziskovanja že v času študija, ki študentom, bodočim strokovnjakom s področja zdravstvenih ved, pomaga razvijati pomembne strokovne in znanstveno-raziskovalne kompetence. Brez raziskovanja ni novega znanja in brez novega znanja ni rešitev za nove zdravstvene izzive, ki pestijo človeštvo

Relation Between Strategic and Normative Aspects in Local Spatial Plan

The master’s thesis deals with the meaning and role of the strategic aspect of spatial planning in light of changed social, economic and environmental conditions around the world. Based on a review of theoretical points of departure and objectives, including strategic spatial development documents on the EU level, we found that Slovenia has the same obligations and opportunities as all the other member states as regards fulfilling the European principles for sustainable spatial development. The basic element of achieving European standards lies in duly exercised roles of individual administrative levels of decision-making. Based on a review of the systems of spatial planning and environmental management in certain EU member states, we have verified records of the methods used at local levels to monitor strategic guidelines for spatial planning. It was found that the relationship between long-term, strategic, and operative, short-term aspects of spatial planning is not very clearly defined in other countries as well, where effective realisation of strategic guidelines relies to a great extent on administrative organisation of the respective social-political regulation. Based on a description of practical aspects of the current situation in spatial planning at the local level, it was found that Slovenia lacks real strategic planning. Due to the prevalent explicit protection requirements, the context of strategic spatial planning has been practically lost. In relation to this issue, the thesis deals with the question of state supervision over municipal spatial planning and the role of the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning in relation to other departments. It was found that our latest attempts to rationalise planning procedures by amending our spatial planning legislation have been unsuccessful. The fact is that Slovenia needs an umbrella act that would set spatial planning in a suitable role of management and coordination in relation to individual sectors, which would be a vital prerequisite for implementation of a contemporary European standard of spatial planning

Economic aspects of urban land policy in support of the implementation of spatial documents at the local level

This master's degree thesis discusses urban land policies as part of the economic and social system and the spatial planning policy that enables local communities to manage space in more effective ways thus assuring them the means for an enhanced functioning of the land market. Even though Slovenia's development strategy (2005) associates the urban land policy with the improvement of spatial management and the development of the land market, it is surprising that the legislation defines this field in a narrow and insufficient manner. The review of professional sources shows that the problems in the enforcement of land policy, which coincide with the problems of the profession and the practicalities of spatial management, are not treated holistically enough. Warning about the deficit of spatial regulation is the added value of my work. The thesis exposes numerous factors that condition specific problems in the enforcement of spatial planning documents which are commonly encountered on the local level. The formal spatial decisions were not put into effect as they were planned, which shows that the actual trends are not proceeding in accordance with a sustainable spatial development. The causes for the breach between the planning and effectuation of spatial plans is not to be found in the strategies themselves, but rather in the low managing capabilities of the spatial system and the implementation deficit in the carrying out of decisions that have been accepted. The existing prevailing normative managing in the planning of land usage and the utilization of its developmental potentials, which was necessary in the period after Slovenia got its independence, necessitates a completion that would comply with the principles of sustainability and laws of the market. Taking in consideration the findings of various professions, that can contribute to an integrated treatment of the function of spatial policy in the processes of urban development and acknowledging the developmental trends in countries with a constituted land market, I argue that a new urban land policy in the form of a systematic, institutionalized and instrumental support to the execution of spatial planning documents on the local level is needed
