In this bachelor's thesis we analysed the dynamics of economic profile in the municipalities of
Slovenia for the period 2000–2013. For the categorization of data on number of employees in the
activities defined in the Standard Classification of Activities (SDK) we implemented the template used
in the ESPON TOWN project (2014). We classified data into the following categories: residential
economy (D), productive economy (P), and knowledge economy (U). The data on number of
employees in the municipalities of Slovenia for individual years in the period 2000–2013 according to
the SKD 2008 classification was acquired from the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia
(SURS). We performed analysis for 192 municipalities from the beginning of the period under
consideration (2000). The analysis of economic structure and changes in economic structure was
executed in Microsoft Excel. The results were prepared using ArcGIS and displayed on thematic
maps. Separately, we analysed the economic profile of 15 urban centres of national importance and its
dynamics (Spatial Development Strategy of Slovenia, 2004). We established that in the analysed
period the economy in Slovenia has changed radically, as productive economy is decreasing in extent
while residential and knowledge economies are expanding.
