About the project: Spatial management and planning is a reflection of the aspects of civilization, social awareness, endeavours for a maintained, healthy and sustainable environment, and as such a reflection of a culture of every nation. In its spatial development, Slovenia experienced several cut-off periods, which brought the space, its perception and development potential into a critical situation today. The problem is in ignorance of the mechanisms of investments in the spatial development and the absence of interdisciplinary approaches of various professions that plan and manage the space, which leads to the absence of consensus on optimal development directions. The proposed research which records valorizes and determines guidelines for financing the measures of spatial and urban development in a comprehensive and time-unconditioned manner, can exceed the randomness of decision making by bringing its results.
