The Master’s thesis deals with the issue of the quality of living in the Municipality of Škofljica, especially from perspective of adding new building land, based on initiatives submitted by citizens and potential investors. The concept of suburbanization and urban expansion on the border with major cities (for example, Ljubljana) brings challenges and great pressures on the urban periphery/city outskirts. The first part of the thesis, we discuss the topic of suburbanization, urban expansion, and urban phenomena, and define Quality of living indicators , which will be the main factor in the evaluation of initiatives in the continuation of the Master’s thesis.
In the second part of the master’s thesis, we discuss initiatives aimed repurposing, mostly from non-building to building land, or the expansion of land for the possibility of construction. Initiatives are first numbered and evaluated according to the first method, which is based on general analyses of the environment and assumed foresees absolute and relative limitations in space. Based on the first method, initiatives with absolute limits are identified and explained. The second method, evaluates initiatives that have remained after the first round without restrictions based on the analysis, or were determined as initiatives with relative restrictions. The second method is a little more complex and is evaluated in four different maps, on which criteria for the quality of living are determined according to the specifics of the space. In the third part, the initiatives, which according to the first two methods are marked as conditionally acceptable, according to their type are assigned single-choice evaluations out of two test plans. The goal is to introduce a method that would facilitate the work of competent decision-makers and offer a kind of preliminary review of the majority of the initiatives given due to a clear definition of the criteria, at the same time with the method we could develop a quality space that would enable the inhabitants a quality stay and higher overall life satisfaction.
