Abstract

V disertaciji so v uvodu predstavljeni dosedanji pogledi na trajnost, kjer ugotavljamo, da zaradi ohlapnih definicij, kaj sploh trajnost ali trajnostni razvoj je, dejanske trajnosti v analiziranih regionalnih in lokalnih razvojnih programih skoraj ni zaslediti. Med dimenzijami trajnosti zato posebej izpostavljamo pomen ekosistemskega pristopa, celovitosti in blaginje ter samooskrbe in aktivne vključitve javnosti. S kvalitativnimi analizami ter delno s kvantitativnimi ocenami smo pripravili kriterije za vrednotenje regionalnih in lokalnih programov z vidika modelov trajnosti. Le ti kažejo stanje glede doseganja trajnosti v izbranih občinskih in regionalnih razvojnih programih (od zelo šibke do šibke in močne trajnosti). Nato smo z metodami ocenjevanja vplivov ukrepov na trajnost (metoda štirih kapitalov in metoda trajnostne rože) ocenili pomen povezave naravnih, socialnih, človeških in gospodarskih kapitalov za doseganje trajnosti. Namreč enosmerni, ozko sektorsko zasnovani ukrepi ne vodijo k dolgoročnim perspektivam, ker ne omogočijo povezav med lokalno specifičnimi ukrepi (pravimo jim sekundarne in terciarne povezave, ker za državo večinoma niso primarne, so obrobne, zato pogosto izpadejo iz prioritet). Te povezave bi morale izhajati iz ukrepov v razvojnih programih in biti zasnovane na lokalnih in regionalnih specifičnostih. Ključno je zavedanje, da šele presečnost med ukrepi v razvojnih programih omogoča trajnost in da je vzpostavljanje večplastno pojmovane trajnosti proces, ki ga je treba graditi daljše obdobje. Temelj trajnosti je upoštevanje ekosistemskih in družbenih regionalnih oz. lokalnih razmer, kjer imajo ključno vlogo razpoložljivi lokalni in regionalni viri (kapitali), zlasti človeški viri, torej prebivalci. V času spremenjenih globalnih okoljskih razmer je potrebno vzpostaviti učinkovit sistem varovanja naravnih virov predvsem na lokalnem in regionalnem nivoju (npr. z ekoremediacijami). Na spremembe podnebja, ki so tudi posledica poseganja v ekosistemsko vzdržnost našega planeta, se moramo prilagoditi z ukrepi na različnih področjih (od prometa, kmetijstva, rabe energije in večnamenske rabe vodnih teles), pri tem pa imata ključno vlogo izobraževanje in vzgoja, ki lahko zaradi ozaveščenosti pripomoreta k zmanjševanju pritiskov na naravo in okolje z vzpostavljenim sistemov vrednot. Nujno bi bilo, da v trajnostno zasnovanih lokalnih (občinskih) in regionalnih agendah namenimo večjo pozornost ekosistemskim vsebinam, njihovi povezanosti na nivoju ukrepov ter aktivnemu sodelovanju javnosti. Ekosistemsko zasnovani pristopi, ki bodo povezali lokalno-regionalne specifičnosti in upoštevali interes, tradicijo in znanje prebivalcev, bodo omogočili oblikovanje celovitih razvojnih strategij, ki bodo temeljile na odgovornosti do narave in ljudi. Šele tak proces vzpostavljanja trajnostnih regij lahko pripomore k doseganju blaginje.

Secondary title:	ǂThe ǂsustainable foundation of Regional Agenda 21
Secondary abstract:	The existing views on sustainability are presented in the introduction of this PhD dissertation. Owing to the vague definitions of sustainability and sustainable development, we almost cannot trace the dimensions of sustainability in the regional and local programmes that we analysed. Among the dimensions of sustainability we exposed the importance of ecosystem approach, integrity, well-being, self-sufficiency and public active participation. Using qualitative analyses and partly quantitative estimations, we prepared the criteria for evaluation of regional and local developent programmes from the aspect of sustainability models. Those models present the status of sustainability achieved in the selected municipal and regional development programmes (from very weak to weak and strong sustainability). We then used the methods of evaluating the influence of measures on sustainability (method of four capitals and method of sustainability flower). With the help of those methods we evaluated the importance of connection among natural, social, human and economical capitals (or systems) in order to achieve sustainability. One-way, sector-based methods do not lead to long-term perspectives, since they do not enable the connections among the activities that are specific locally. They are also called secondary or tertiary activities since they are usually of marginal importance to the state. Those connections should arise from the measures taken in development programmes and should be based on local and regional specifics. Here, the awareness of the fact that only cross-section of development programmes ensures sustainability, is essential. The establishment of multi-layer sustainability is a process that needs to be created constantly. The foundation of sustainability is in the consideration of ecosystem, social, regional and local situation, where a key role is played by the available local and regional resources, especially human resources - people. In times of changed global environmental situation we need to establish an effective protection system for natural resources on local and regional level, for example, with ecoremediations. We need to adjust to climate change, which is also the influence of interfering with ecosystem endurance of our planet, on all fields; from traffic and farming to the use of energy and the multi-purpose use of water bodies. Here, education plays a crucial role since it can contribute to the lowering of environmental impact by establishing the system of values. We suggest for sustainability based local (municipal) and regional agendas to pay more attention to ecosystem content, to their connection on the level of actual measures and to active public paricipation. Ecosystem based approaches, which will connect local-regional specifics and consider public interest, tradition and knowledge, will enable the design of integrated development strategies. Those strategies will be based on our responsibility for nature and people. Only such process of establishing sustainable regions can develop a favourable environment for well-being of people.
