Spatial constraints of Slovenian farms

The presentation at the international conference showed a methodology for evaluating the development potential of farms on urban outskirts, which forms an important basis for long-term (spatial) planning of the development of Slovenian agriculture. It uses publically available spatial and statistical data, and analyzes and evaluates the characteristics of farms that show their future development potential and tendencies.

Climate smart agriculture without climate smart spatial planning?

Meteorological and climatological measurements of climatic change in Europe show that intense precipitation has become more severe and more frequent. The risk of and vulnerability to floods have increased over many areas due to a range of climatic and non-climatic impacts, therefore the activities to implement prevention measures are in full impetus. Emerging land-use conflicts are hindering the flood adaptation process and reveal the results of shortsighted spatial-planning practices from the past. The poster presented the study case of the capital Ljubljana and its rural surroundings, where highly intensive urbanization in last few decades increased flood vulnerability of the city itself and the areas downstream.

Does public acceptance matter? Transition of family farms in Slovenia and driving forces behind it

In this presentation for French coulleagues and students at ISARA-Lyon we focused on the complexity of historical and geographical factors that radically changed the socio-economic structure of Slovenian agriculture and induced specific territorial processes, namely suburbanisation and rapid land fragmentation.

Societal value of geographical research – case of Slovenian family farms and their spatial challenges

This presentation focused on the complexity of historical and geographical factors that radically changed the socio-economic structure of Slovenian agriculture and induced specific territorial processes, namely suburbanisation and rapid land fragmentation. To this end, we presented three different, yet connected forces that shaped specific structure of family farming in Slovenia in the past: 1) public acceptance of farming in Slovene society after World War II, 2) part-time farming and its role in transformation of periurban areas, 3) spatial limitation of farms in rural and urbanised settlements.
