»Istra, vsak dan bližja« - Idejna zasnova revitalizacije železniške proge od Pulja do Buzeta

Orbanić, Maja (author), Planišček, Anja (mentor)

V notranjosti Istre, regije z bogato zgodovino in kulturo, se razteza železniška proga, zgrajena leta 1876, ki je tedaj pomenila velik napredek, razvoj in povezavo tedanjega prebivalstva s svetom. Danes ta železniška proga več ni donosna. Je počasna, nevzdrževana in potrebna obnove, hkrati pa kot ena najbolj ohranjenih železnic ni prepoznana kot kulturna dediščina. Cilj naloge je revitalizacija železnice z vzpostavitvijo novega modela delovanja z uvedbo nišnega turističnega programa, s spodbujanjem trajnostnih in ekoloških načinov potovanja ter celoletnega in participativnega turizma. S povezovanjem poteze železnice z mrežo kolesarskih in pešpoti je bila ustvarjena podlaga za vzpostavitev novega programa – kolesarskega in pohodniškega turizma v povezavi s hop-on in hop-off vlakom. Na progi od Pulja do Buzeta so na smiselno izbranih lokacijah postaj zagotovljene namestitve, prilagojene predvsem kolesarskim in aktivnim turistom. S počasnim vlakom in kolesom organsko spoznavamo Istro in razkrivamo njene plasti ter tako postajamo aktivni udeleženci turistične ponudbe.

• Title: ''Istria, each day closer'' - Conceptual design for the revitalization of the railway line from Pulj to Buzet

Abstract

In central Istria, a region rich in history and culture, there is a railway line built in 1876, which represented significant progress, development and integration with the world for the local population at that time. Currently, the railway is unprofitable, slow, poorly maintained and in urgent need of renovation. Despite being one of the best-preserved railway lines, it has not yet been recognized as cultural heritage. The aim of this thesis is to revitalize the railway through a new operating model that introduces a niche tourism program, promotes sustainable and ecological modes of travel, and encourages year-round, participatory tourism. By connecting the railway line with a network of cycling and walking paths, the foundation is created for a new program: cycling and hiking tourism in connection with the hop-on, hop-off train. Along the route from Pula to Buzet, accommodation is planned at strategically chosen station locations, primarily adapted to cycling and other active tourists. By combining slow train travel with cycling, visitors can gradually discover Istria and experience its multiple layers, thereby becoming active participants in its tourism development.
