It is becoming increasingly important today for the natural environment to be preserved alongside the increasingly intensive development and use of space. The thesis therefore treats the development of tourism infrastructure in the naturally very sensitive area along the Soča River. The aim of the thesis is to show the advantages, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the area with the aid of analyses produced for the Zgornje Posočje region. Based on the findings we wished to highlight the opportunity for the quality development of the tourism infrastructure with consideration of the criteria for nature protection. The goal of the thesis is the proposal for the arrangement of the existing tourism infrastructure along the Soča River, production of a design for the expansion of the tourism and recreation offer in the treated part of Posočje and set forth a proposal for the arrangement of the main regional road routed through Zgornje Posočje at the most critical point located between the towns of Kobarid and Trnovo ob Soči. In the first part of thesis, we presented the theoretical approach to the arrangement of the rural environment and the planning of the tourism infrastructure. We have also shown the development plan for Slovenian tourism and the importance of environmental protection in the production of the mentioned plan. In the central portion, we focused on a concrete example of the region along the Soča River. First, the analysis of the state of affairs in the area of the Zgornje Posočje region was presented. The wider area is represented by the entire Zgornje Posočje region, while the narrower area encompasses only a part of the Zgornje Posočje region, for which we set forth a
proposal for arrangement in the concluding portion of the thesis. This part also presents
analyses and the issue of space. A special emphasis was placed on the potentials for the
development of tourism in the area in question. The analytical part of the thesis was
concluded with a SWOT analysis and with the starting points for the planning of tourism in
the treated area.
The final part of the thesis offers a proposal for the arrangement and development of tourism
and recreation in the Zgornje Posočje region. We have also included a proposal in the design
for arrangement regarding the supplementation of the network of bicycle trails and footpaths.
The conclusion provides the final thoughts on the development potential of the Zgornje
Posočje region with some warnings as to the facts that need to be taken into account in certain
cases of planning. We classify the need for inter-municipal and local cooperation that places a
great emphasis on the protection or preservation of the natural environment among the facts
that are present during spatial planning.
