The thesis discusses the issue of the disappearance of characteristic features of Slovenian rural settlements, the change in their identity and the lack of high-quality public spaces in these settlements. We are looking for an appropriate relationship between the old and the new, according to everything that has shaped our space over the years. The general characteristics of high-quality public open space in connection with the preservation of the identity of the rural areas of the Upper Carniola pre-Alpine region are defined. The content of the master's thesis is based on the values of critical regionalism, emphasizing the importance of each place's local and individual characteristics. I proved that taking into account the traditional features of selected rural settlements in combination with modern construction with modern materials is a way to preserve and create the identity of places. Such design is tied to the chosen environment and takes into account the characteristics and needs of the region. I researched the relationship between public open spaces and their surroundings and what influences the quality of these spaces the most. By choosing several squares of different settlements in the region, I wanted to emphasize the importance of simultaneous and coordinated planning of the broader surroundings, which plays an important role in creating the continuity of space and the ability to perceive the identity of these places. The emphasis of the square design was on the harmonious relationship between the buildings and the open space. The conceptual design of public open space takes into account the theoretical basis and tries to add value to the place, make it more attractive for residents and visitors and influence its surroundings.
