Čas neoliberalizma, v katerem živimo, je socialno, družbeno, ekonomsko in okoljsko neustrezen. Neoliberalistični sistem je povzročil še večji razkorak med bogatim in revnim slojem družbe, kapitalizem in globalizacijo postavil na prvo mesto brez kakršnega koli ozira na družbo in okolje. Alternativo neoliberalizmu lahko najdemo v demokratičnem, trajnostnem socializmu oziroma ekosocializmu. Ekosocializem še vedno zagovarja trajnostno gospodarsko rast, le da se osredotoča na blaginjo družbe in okolja v želji po zmanjšanju drastičnih posegov v okolje in hkrati na gospodarski model, v katerem ne bi prevladal le dobiček, ampak bi se pri odločitvah upoštevale dobrobit družbe, v kateri bi prevladovala enakopravnost, ter nosilne zmogljivosti planeta. Izgradnja drugega tira na relaciji Divača‒Koper bi lahko pomenila korak k bolj trajnostno naravnanemu gospodarstvu, kar zagovarja tudi politična ideologija ekosocializma. Magistrsko delo temelji na proučevanju okoljskih, socialnih in ekonomskih dejavnikov, na katere bo vplivala izgradnja drugega tira. Proučevanje smo strnili v območje kilometrskega pasu neposredno ob železniški progi, ki poteka v treh občinah, to so Divača, Hrpelje - Kozina in Koper. Raziskovali smo vplive, ki jih ima trenutna železniška proga na prebivalstvo, okolje in gospodarstvo. Pridobili smo mnenja prebivalcev, ki živijo neposredno ob obstoječi železniški progi, in predstavnika občine Hrpelje - Kozina o izgradnji novega, drugega tira.

Abstract

The neoliberal times we live in are socially, economically and environmentally incongruous. The neoliberal system has widened the gap between the wealthy and the poor. It prioritizes capitalism and globalisation and disregards society as well as the environment. An alternative to neoliberalism can be found in eco-socialism, a democratic and sustainable socialism which advocates sustainable economic growth whilst focusing on the welfare of society and the environment. Its aim is to reduce the number of drastic environmental impacts and to strive for an economic model which considers not only profit but social welfare, social equality and the Earth’s carrying capacity. Building a second track along the Divača-Koper railway line could mean a step towards a more sustainably oriented economy as promoted by the political concept of eco-socialism. This Master’s thesis examines the environmental, social and economic factors which will be influenced by the construction of the second track. The area studied extends through three municipalities: Divača, Hrpelje-Kozina and Koper. The research involved examining the perceived impact of the existing railway track on the population, environment and economy of the area. A survey was carried out to obtain the views about the construction of the second track of the people living along the railway track and the opinion of the municipality of Hrpelje-Kozina.
