The purpose of this master thesis is to develop a multi-criteria decision model that will help in the process of farm reconstitution in the Primorsko-Notranjska Region. The supposition is that this model enables us to optimise the decision-making process of farm reconstitution by regarding the farm`s potential. The multi-criteria model was developed in the DEXi computer program. The key criteria, determination of values of these criteria and weights were chosen with the help of agricultural advisers and a young farmer. The five main group criteria were identified (farm condition, grazing, dairy cow and suckler cow, horticulture and fruit farming). The importance of individual criteria was evaluated in the online tool 1KA by the above-mentioned experts. The weights of the individual criteria were calculated by pairwise comparison of criteria (AHP). The model was tested on ten farms from the Primorsko-Notranjska Region. Different types of farms from all municipalities in the region were included. The results of the assessment indicate the potential for each farm. It can be seen that each farm has different development potential. The comparison of the farm`s potential according to the five main group criteria was also analyzed. Best rated is grazing, where seven out of ten farms have the assessment »appropriately«. Horticultural and dairy cow and suckler cow are less appropriate and the least appropriate is fruit farming. The model assessment shows the real farm`s potential and indicates the appropriate farming type for each farm. The conclusion is that grazing has the best potential for the development of the analyzed farms since seven farms have the assessment »appropriately« and only one has the assessment »inappropriately«.
