NOSILNA ZMOGLJIVOST OBČIN TOLMIN, KOBARID IN KOMEN ZA TURIZEM

The study of tourism carrying capacity in the municipalities of Tolmin, Kobarid and Komen has shown that the infrastructural and economic carrying capacity is the most problematic, as most indicator limits are already exceeded in the summer season. The most favourable is the spatial-ecological carrying capacity, where none of the studied indicator limits were exceeded. The results of the carrying capacity assessment for tourism in these municipalities should not be used as a tool to restrict tourism development, but rather as expert recommendations to promote more sustainable tourism development. Infrastructure identified as deficient cannot be improved immediately. Improvements require large financial investments that municipalities are not able to ensure quickly. We need a tourism development strategy that, in addition to all the necessary improvements, comprehensively addresses the problems that municipalities face from overtourism, especially during the high season.Pri raziskovanju nosilne zmogljivosti za turizem v občinah Tolmin, Kobarid in Komen smo ugotovili, da sta najbolj problematični infrastrukturna in ekonomska nosilna zmogljivost, pri katerih je večina dejavnikov presežena v času poletne sezone. Najbolj ugodna pa je prostorsko-ekološka nosilna zmogljivost, ki ne izkazuje preseženosti nobenega analiziranega dejavnika. Rezultatov ocene nosilne zmogljivosti v obravnavanih občinah za turizem ne smemo jemati kot orodje za strogo omejevanje razvoja turizma, ampak bolj kot strokovno priporočilo ali mnenje, ki bo razvoj turizma na nekaterih področjih vodila v drugo bolj trajnostno smer ali ga ustrezno preoblikovala. Infrastrukture, ki smo jo navedli kot pomanjkljivo, se ne da izboljšati takoj, saj je nadgradnja povezana z visokimi finančnimi sredstvi, ki jih občina ne more zagotoviti tako hitro. Nujna je strategija razvoja turizma, ki bo med vsemi potrebnimi izboljšavami prednostno in celovito obravnavala probleme, s katerimi se občine srečujejo zaradi turizma predvsem v času visoke sezone

(Ne)raba razpoložljivih virov na kmetijah v Sloveniji

Na podlagi temeljite analize naravnih, kapitalskih in človeških virov podajajo avtorji celovit pogled na pomembne strukturne spremembe, ki so se zgodile v slovenskem kmetijstvu po osamosvojitvi in spremembi družbenega sistema, predvsem po vstopu Slovenije v EU

Primer uporabe GIS pri iskanju možnih virov onesnaževanja vode na krasu

Geografske informacijske sisteme lahko koristno uporabimo tudi na delovnih področjih, kjer nimamo na razpolago vseh ustreznih podatkov, metod za njihovo vrednotenje ter modeliranje. Takšen primer je tudi pomoč GIS pri iskanju možnih virov onesnaževanja na krasu. Razen redkih površinskih vodotokov (na fluviokrasu) se tam vode pretakajo po podzemlju. Zato moramo prisotnost krasa v zaledju površinskega vodotoka obravnavati na "poseben" način, pri čemer nam je GIS v veliko pomoč. GIS je v tem primeru dejansko podpora deduktivncmu pristopu k obravnavi problema. Z upoštevanjem "kraških predpostavk" glede možnega pretakanja podzemskih voda se območje možnih virov onesnaževanja znatno razširi preko meja površinskega porečja. Na podlagi vrednotenja upoštevanih predpostavk, podatkovnih slojev in njihovih medsebojnih relacij sva ločila tri "območja ogrožanja kvalitete vode" Otavščice. Ta lahko služijo za načrtovanje in izvajanje nadaljnjih ukrepov za rešitev problema. Izvajanje aplikacije na prenosnem osebnem računalniku omogoča njeno uporabo pri terenskih meritvah ter pri terenskem iskanju in popisovanju dejanskih virov onesnaževanja. V obravnavo je vključeno 255 kvadratnih kilometrov veliko območje jugozahodnega obrobja Ljubljanskega Barja (širša okolica porečja Otavščice, pritoka Borovniščice)

Characteristics of the gastronomic offer on tourist farms in Slovenia

The article presents the characteristics of the gastronomic offer on tourist farms and its potential for the development of gastronomy (wine and food) tourism in rural Slovenia. Although this potential has already been recognized and repeatedly highlighted in various strategic development documents, no comprehensive research has been conducted at the national level to evaluate the gastronomic aspect of the offer in the context of farm tourism as a supplementary activity. Gastronomy certainly plays a central role on Slovenian tourist farms and in many ways represents a key link between the agriculture and tourism. At the end of 2020, there were a total of 4,930 agricultural holdings in Slovenia with at least one supplementary activity registered on the farm, while supplementary activities of farm tourism are carried out on 1,215 agricultural holdings. Most of these agricultural holdings (957 or 78.8%, respectively) offer accommodation, food and drink, which is particularly important for the development of gastronomy tourism in Slovenian rural areas. Using a survey (conducted from November 2021 to February 2022) on a representative sample of 138 tourist farms from all Slovenian regions, we determined the current food and beverages offer and the inclusion of traditional and local dishes in relation to modern dishes. The interviewed Slovenian farmers see the offer of local drinks and dishes as the biggest opportunity for further development of farm tourism, while other potentials (offer of organic food, collective brands, quality schemes, etc.) are much more in the background
