Abstract

The article investigates the possibilities of measuring sustainable development of the Slovene part of Istria with different indicators. The methodology of elaboration of indicators for monitoring sustainable development on a local scale, for purposes of informing producers and executants of local developmental policies and for the purpose of raising awareness of the local population in a long-term temporal perspective is explained. In recent years sustainable development has become a widely accepted concept referred to by numerous public institutions, non-government organizations and companies, however the problem of the exact definition of sustainable development and its measures in concrete situations have not yet been sufficiently addressed. The article contains a presentation of methodology and the process of defining the form and assortment of indicators. Assortment of indicators is constructed by using a bottom-to-top approach, the need for collaboration of representatives of different developmental interest groups from the area in question and experts from different fields of research in the formation of different assortments of indicators is stressed. The assortment is not a collection of indexes but rather simple indicators, constructed from several values and organized accordingly to a thematic model. The article offers a consideration of the weaknesses of the assortment, particularly its subject to error due to limited data accessibility. Finally the article presents a synthetic oversight of the developmental situation of the Slovene part of Istria from the point of view of sustainability
