Rekreacijske dejavnosti na območju Slavnika – analiza mnenj izbranih deležnikov

Abstract

Območje Slavnika je zaradi redkih in endemičnih rastlinskih in živalskih vrst zavarovano kot naravni spomenik državnega pomena. Z opazovanjem stanja na terenu in intervjuji s ključnimi deležniki smo preučili obremenitve okolja, ki nastajajo zaradi izvajanja različnih rekreacijskih dejavnosti ter opredelili pomanjkljivosti v upravljanju in sodelovanju deležnikov. Ugotovili smo, da se posledice množičnega obiska in različnih rekreacijskih dejavnosti najbolj kažejo v eroziji poti, poškodbah rastlinstva in onesnaženju z odpadki. Za trajnostni razvoj rekreacijskih dejavnosti na Slavniku bi bilo potrebno sodelovanje vseh »uporabnikov«, ozaveščanje in informiranje obiskovalcev, ključno vlogo pa bi morale prevzeti tudi pristojne lokalne in državne ustanove s sprejetjem ustreznih sistemskih rešitev. //   The area of Slavnik is protected as a natural monument of national importance due to the rare and endemic plant and animal species. The authors examined the environmental impacts of various recreational activities in this area by observing the situation along the hiking trails and with interviewing key stakeholders. Apart from most evident consequences of intense visitation and different recreational activities, such as soil erosion, vegetation damage, and waste pollution, the study identified inadequate environmental management and poor cooperation of stakeholders. The sustainable development of recreational activities in the Slavnik area would require the participation of all "users", as well as informing and raising awareness of visitors. Local and state institutions should also participate and take a more prominent role by adopting effective system solutions.
