Due to the increasing mobilization of the population and the concentration of shops, post offices, banks and other services of general interest in major centers, the dependance of the population on cars is increasing, thus changing the shopping patterns of the population. At the same time, the rural hinterland faces the loss of key functions in the villages that used to serve as local supply centers. This master's thesis examines the problematics of services of economic interest in the area of Idrijsko-Cerkljansko, the dynamics of former and today's network of services and the connection with rural runoff, which as a process coincides with the centralization of services to larger centers. The research consists of a historical overview of service provision, analysis of supply and demand with emphasis on accessibility of services, analysis of good practices and initiatives for alternative solutions. For a better spatial insight, a field survey of empty buildings of former services in the area was carried out, and specific objects with the potential of further use were selected within the set of all enumerated ones. By reviewing spatial orientations for the development of settlements in the area and guidelines for placement of supply functions which determine central settlements a revised model of supply in municipalities of Idrija and Cerkno is proposed. The proposed model also includes ideas for re-use of selected buildings of former services based on demands and initiatives of the locals, as well as on innovative forms of service provision.
