In the master thesis, we modeled the functional regions of Slovenia according to the accessibility approach, proposed by Karlsson and Olsson (2006). In doing so, we modeled the employer’s accessibility to workers and the separately accessibility of workers to jobs. Functional Accessibility Areas (FODs) were modeled at the level of regional centers according to the Spatial Development Strategy of Slovenia (SPRS, 2004) for the years 2000, 2004, 2007, 2009, 2012 and 2016. Modeling was performed using statistical data on the number of workers and the number of jobs in Slovenian municipalities and with data on commuting to work (Drobne and Bogataj, 2011; Drobne, 2016). The results of FOD modeling were compared with functional regions modeled according to the CURDS method (Borovnik, 2018) and by the Intramax method (Drobne, 2016) and functional urban areas modeled according to the adjusted OECD method (2013; Zavodnik Lamovšek and Drobna, 2017; Drobne and Zavodnik Lamovšek , 2017).
