Description

The 1291 inhabitants of Slovenia participated in the survey (standard representative sample strengthened by provinces). The questionnaire contained 54 simple and composite questions, usually of a closed type, relating to the idea of Slovenia, place-relatedness, landscape design, planning, transport, etc. The drawings of Slovenia, as a form of retrieval, mainly express how much individual elements and individual places are represented in memory, i.e. also how much they represent it. Respondents drew about 15,000 units, mostly places. The two largest cities, Ljubljana and Maribor, are the frontrunners, followed by the rest in terms of size and importance. There is also a significant presence of Triglav and Bled, as well as the Sava, Soča and Drava rivers. The mountainous world is much more present than the sea. Many places or areas appear only in individuals, which indicates that along with the common picture there are also individual peculiarities. From the point of view of planning, it is important that the whole of Slovenia, and not only its more or less important parts, penetrate into people's consciousness. Three-quarters of respondents either reject or have no personal relationship with the provinces. The remaining quarter is in favour of a small number of them (up to 8). From the definition of the scope of the domestic landscape it follows that among the people there will be the highest degree of consensus in the formation of larger (large) landscapes and the lowest in the decision for smaller ones. Respondents would prefer to live in Slovenia, but if they were already moving elsewhere in Europe, these would be mainly developed Western countries. The likelihood of moving is estimated to be very low, although there are regional and educational differences. Large-scale migration is almost out of the mindset of most respondents. Landscape elements (mountains, vineyards and hills and lakes) should be the most important for the recognisability of Slovenia. Sociability, green areas, care, transport accessibility, opportunities for sports and recreation, environmental management, etc. are satisfactory in their living space. However, the supply of housing, employment opportunities and services are less satisfactory. There are differences in landscapes. They prefer to live in their home municipality, a tendency that is also reflected in foreign surveys. The attractiveness of larger and developed cities (Ljubljana, Koper, Maribor, Novo mesto) and tourist resorts (Piran, Bled, Bohinj) is also particularly evident. Respondents would prefer to live on average on the edge of a settlement, along a forest, sea, river or lake, preferably where construction is cheaper. As a rule, the development of their place is judged to be average. The majority of respondents (71%) believe that there should be fewer municipalities in Slovenia than at present, while only 25% believe that we need an administrative division into provinces. The attitude towards environmental protection and what needs to be developed in the environment is particularly important for planning.
