20.500.12556/RUL-135651 Defining landscapes, and their importance for national identity a case study from Slovenia Although each landscape has its own identity, only some of them are recognized as nationally important because of their cultural and natural values and their contribution to national identity. In Slovenia, these landscapes are listed in the national Spatial Development Strategy (adopted in 2004). However, this list was neither supported by implementation instruments nor integrated in any conservation or management policy documents and was poorly integrated into spatial plans. The aim of this research was to renew the methodology for identifying landscapes of national importance. The methods included in-depth interviews with experts, an online questionnaire, participatory workshops, and field visits. The questionnaire results showed that only eight landscapes from the original list of 62 were explicitly recognized as nationally important, which confirmed the hypothesis that the initial method was not transparent and that the criteria were biased. The proposed approach included the following criteria: (1) representativeness, (2) the quality of the landscape features, and (3) the cultural and scientific value. The methodology was accompanied with the list of landscape features and landscape types that are important for Slovenian national identity; recommendations for implementing the method on national, regional, and local levels; and the general guidelines for spatial planning and management of these landscapes. landscape identity evaluation criteria landscape features national landscape identity cultural landscape Slovenia krajina nacionalna identiteta identiteta krajine kulturna krajina Slovenija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-03-23 14:16:31 2022-03-23 14:16:31 2022-09-14 04:14:28 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 18 str. iss. 11, art. 6475 Vol. 13 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 71 2071-1050 10.3390/su13116475 66838275 RAZ_Penko_Seidl_Nadja_2021.pdf RAZ_Penko_Seidl_Nadja_2021.pdf 1 1432A5CC845BB5E92985226E95B034B2 9b030a7f2f931428d73d6e39f6c1b04418a039c744e2c3be1cbf5521526321fb bf8209c3-aaab-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=154863 https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/13/11/6475 0 9b516c1c-aaab-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=154862 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
