The Master's thesis focuses on the concept of the 15-minute city (15MC), developed by the French-Colombian professor Carlos Moreno. The basic principle of the concept is that every city dweller should have access to basic services or activities - such as work, education, health, shops, recreational areas and cultural and social activities - within a maximum of 15 minutes walking or cycling distance from their home. The main objective of the Master's thesis is to present the idea of 15MC in more detail and to explore the possibilities of its application in the spatial planning process. This is done by simulating the development of the Golovec Local Community. In the theoretical part of the thesis, I present the concept of the 15-minute city in more detail, including its positive effects and criticisms. This is followed by an overview of some of the practices of implementing the concept in cities around the world. The analytical part of the thesis consists of two phases - the first is an overview of relevant activities in the study area, and the second is an accessibility analysis, in which I assess, based on the data obtained, to what extent the area meets the criteria of a 15-minute city. The project includes a concept for the spatial development of the Golovec local community and simulations of different development options. The first part of the project includes plans of different development variants in a smaller area, which serves as a basic unit or module for the calculation of urban factors in a larger area. The second part of the project consists of development scenarios for the Golovec local community, i.e. different combinations of basic units adapted to the larger area, with the aim of optimising the spatial distribution of activities according to the concept of a 15-minute city. In conclusion, I propose the most appropriate option that is in line with the concept and provides the best conditions for the new and existing population.
