Location of Production Activity Cells in the Space-of-Flows and the Space-of-Places
No full textIn the paper we shall demonstrate that the combination of MRP Theory – as developed by Grubbström, extended later in the research group of MEDIFAS to the modern theory of supply chain risk management – and Lowry-like models embedded in production functions of activity cells in the supply networks enables the mathematical formalization of Castells’ concept known as “reconceptualization of new forms of spatial arrangements under the new technological paradigm”, based on Ruggie’s work on “Problematizing Modernity in International Relations” and Arrighi’s further study of interactions between spatial entities and non-territorial global economic space, i.e. a space-of-flows. Here the idea of the functional region as a unit in the space-of-places is considered. In each spatial unit special consideration needs to be directed towards the regulation of three elements which should be observable and controllable: labour, land and money. The aim is to construct a model which enables regional authorities and managers of global supply chains to analyse interactions, regulate the space-of-flows, support decisions in the space-of-places and forecast the interactions between the space-of-flows and the space-of-places, but especially to evaluate the impact of supply chain perturbations regarding ICT development and policies in the space-of-places. Here the net present value (NPV) of all activities in a global supply chain is the criterion function. Therefore, the paper shows that a more permanent study of interactions between the supply chain flows (flow of items, information and financial flows) and land use in the space-of-places could support a more sustainable economic growth, while ICT makes it more successful
Planning capacities of facilities and human resources for seniors
No full textPhysical environment, especially urban facilities that are age friendly
can make a difference between independence and dependence for all individuals
but are of particular importance for those growing older. Changes in the
environment can lower the disability threshold. It influences the needs for care in
each category of dependency measured by care dependency scale. Therefore the
spatial interaction model developed individually for each group of functional
capacity can be structured to forecast overall attractiveness and stickiness of
municipalities for migration of older cohorts. The structure of cohorts, when
disability thresholds are determined is calculated through a multi-state transition
model where net migration of older cohorts is added for each year. The numerical
example shows how we can plan the investments in facilities and education of
human resources based on forecasted structure of care dependency categories and
it’s dynamics
A model evaluating the number and areas of functional regions
Full text linkFunctional regions are a generalization of changeable social and economic functional interactions in a territory. These regions are increasingly used when analysing economic, social, environmental, and spatial development and when making development-related decisions. In this doctoral dissertation we propose a procedure to evaluate the areas and the number of hierarchical functional regions. The procedure is based on: (a) using Intramax, a hierarchical method to model functional region systems of labour commuting by time intervals, (b) comparison of functional region systems using the index proposed in this dissertation, (c) evaluation of functional regions using selected indicators, and (d) evaluation of the impact of selected socio-economic factors on labour commuting in, and between, functional regions in a spatial interaction model using regression analysis. The procedure of evaluating the systems of hierarchical functional regions was employed for the case study of Slovenia for the period 2000–2011. The study pointed at three characteristic and balanced systems of functional regions, whose area and efficiency, in the light of the proportion of inner flows and homogeneity of employment and housing self-containment, did not significantly change over the period analysed. These are: a system of 5 functional regions with centres in Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, Koper, and Novo mesto, a system of 7 functional regions with centres in Ljubljana, Maribor, Celje, Koper, Novo mesto, Nova Gorica, and Slovenj Gradec, and a system of 60 functional regions. In the dissertation we tested the assumption that the number and the areas of functional regions could be evaluated according to the socio-economic factors that significantly influence labour commuting. The analysis of the impact of the various factors most often analysed in the literature on labour commuting in, and between, functional regions highlighted four factors whose impacts proved to be statistically significant over the whole period considered and at all hierarchical levels of larger (2–70) functional regions. These factors are: travel time to work, population in origin, population in destination, and the employment rate in destination. The proposed approach allows for continuous monitoring and evaluation of balanced systems of hierarchical functional regions in the territory of Slovenia. The characteristic and balanced systems of 5 and 7 functional regions, respectively, as highlighted in this dissertation, can provide a criterion for deciding about establishing provinces in Slovenia
Calibration of the distance-decay parameters of labour commuting at the municipal and regional levels by using the Newton-Raphson method
Full text linkV magistrskem delu smo preučevali upad delovne mobilnosti z razdaljo na ravni občin in statističnih regij Slovenije med leti 2009 in 2017. Parametra upada delovne mobilnosti z razdaljo smo ocenjevali po Newton-Raphsonovem iterativnem postopku v treh omejenih gravitacijskih modelih s pomočjo programskega orodja Matlab (Olsson, 2016). Dve omejitvi v Modelu 1 zagotavljata, da je ocenjena populacija enaka opazovani populaciji in ocenjeni skupni čas vožnje enak skupnemu opazovanemu času vožnje. Model 2 vključuje šest omejitev, ki zagotovijo enakost ocenjene delovne mobilnosti in skupnih potovalnih časov opazovanim količinam v občinah, v regijah in med regijami. Model 3 vključuje poleg omejitev iz Modela 2 še dve dodatni omejitvi, ki zagotovita enakost ocenjenega števila delovno aktivnih v posamezni osnovni prostorski enoti, tj. občini, opazovanemu številu delovno aktivnih v izvoru in ponoru. Potek iterativne ocene parametrov modelov smo predstavili z grafičnimi prikazi. Oceno upadanja delovne mobilnosti z razdaljo smo podrobneje študirali v Modelu 3, kateri se opazovanjem najbolje prilega (Olsson, 2016). V obravnavanem obdobju je vpliv razdalje na delovno mobilnost v splošnem padal, kar nakazuje večjo pripravljenost za vožnjo na delo na daljše razdalje.In Master thesis we studied distance-decay of labour commuting at the level of municipalities and statistical regions of Slovenia between years 2009 and 2017. Distance-decay parameters of labour commuting were evaluated according to Newton-Raphson\u27s iterative procedure in three constrained gravity models using Matlab program (Olsson, 2016). The two constraints in Model 1 ensure that the estimated population equals the observed population and the estimated total commuting time equals the observed total commuting time. Model 2 has six constraints that ensure the estimated population and estimated total commuting time on the level of municipalities, regions and between regions. Model 3 includes, in addition to the six constraints in the Model 2, two additional constraints to enforce that the estimated number of workers that live in each municipality is equal to the observed number in origin and destination. The evaluation of parameters in models we presented with graphical representations. We studied the estimation of distance-decay in more detail in the Model 3, which fits the best among all models to observations (Olsson, 2016). During the analysed period, the impact of distance-decay has generally fallen, which indicates a greater willingness of labour commuting for longer distances
Analysis of the number of functional regions in Slovenia in the period 2000-2010
Full text linkV diplomski nalogi smo analizirali število funkcionalnih regij Slovenije v obdobju 2000 - 2010. Funkcionalne regije smo opredelili po pristopu območij mobilnosti, to je zgolj s podatki o tokovih delavcev vozačev med občinami Slovenije, brez predhodno opredeljenih središč. Sisteme 2-30 na makro in mezo ravni ter 50-70 funkcionalnih regij na mikro ravni Slovenije smo modelirali v programu FlowMap po metodi Intramax. Sestave, to je število in območja, funkcionalnih regij smo vrednotili z enakovrednim uteževanjem analiziranih dejavnikov. Bolj primerne sestave funkcionalnih regij lahko predstavljajo osnovo za oblikovanje razvojne politike regij.In this thesis, we analyzed the number of functional regions of Slovenia in the period 2000 - 2010. The functional regions were defined by the commuting zone approach, that is using only data on flows of inter-municipal labour commuters in Slovenia, without the pre-defined centres of functional regions. The systems of 2-30 functional regions the macro and mezzo levels and of 50-70 functional regions at the micro level in Slovenia were modelled in the FlowMap software by the Intramax method. Compositions of functional regions, that are numbers and areas, were evaluated using the equal weighting approach for analysed factors. More suitable compositions of functional regions may form the basis for the design of development policy of regions

Full text linkDesignation of suitable areas for wind farms installation in Slovenia
Full text linkZaradi vse večjih potreb po energiji in ciljih za zmanjšanje toplogrednih plinov, smo v diplomski nalogi s pomočjo prostorskih analiz v GIS določili primerna območja za postavitev vetrnih elektrarn v Sloveniji. Primerna območja smo iskali glede na povprečno hitrost vetra, geografske omejitve, omejitve rabe zemljišč ter glede na zavarovana območja. Rezultati diplomske naloge lahko pritegnejo pozornost ljudi, ki so odgovorni za dosego trajnostnega razvoja vetrne energije v Sloveniji. Dokazali smo, da ima Slovenija dovolj vetra in območij, ki jih je mogoče uporabiti za izgradnjo vetrnih elektrarn.Due to increasing energy needs and greenhouse gas reduction goals, we made graduation thesis in which we designated suitable areas for wind farms installation in Slovenia, using a GIS–based approach. Suitable areas were determined by average wind speed, geographical and land use constraints and by protected areas. The results of this thesis can draw the attention of decision makers to reach a sustainable wind energy development in Slovenia. The results achieved in this paper suggest that Slovenia possesses sufficient wind energy and land area available for wind farms installations
The impact of the motorway on housing prices in south-eastern Slovenia
No full textV magistrski nalogi smo analizirali vpliv avtoceste na cene stanovanj v jugovzhodni Sloveniji. V analizi smo uporabili podatke evidence trga nepremičnin, registra nepremičnini ter osi državnih cest za obdobje 2007 do 2020. Analizo vpliva oddaljenosti avtoceste in priključkov na avtocesto na ceno stanovanj smo izvedli s pomočjo statističnega modeliranja ter preizkušanja domnev. Analizirali smo stanovanja v skupno petindvajsetih občinah, od tega v devet obravnavanih občinah, tj. v občinah, preko katerih poteka avtocesta, ter v šestnajstih neposrednih sosednjih, t.i. kontrolnih, občinah. Izvedli smo tudi analizo lokacije prodaje stanovanja glede na oddaljenost od avtoceste in avtocestnega priključka.The master\u27s thesis analysed the influence of the motorway on housing prices in south-eastern Slovenia. Data from real estate market records, the real estate register and the national road axis for the period 2007 to 2020 were used for the analyses. Statistical modelling and hypothesis testing were used to analyse the effects of highway distance and highway access on housing prices. We analysed housing sales in a total of twenty-five municipalities. Nine of these are crossed by the highway and sixteen of these are neighbouring municipalities. We also conducted an analysis of the location of housing sales by distance from the motorway and motorway access points

We analysed a number of transactions as well as an average price of a square meter of a flat or a house in Slovenian municipalities. A special attention was paid to analysis of a dynamics of residential real estate market in important urban centres in the Republic of Slovenia, i.e. in regional centres defined in the Spatial Development Strategy of Slovenia. Findings of our study are in accordance with available literature
Analysis of functional urban areas of regional centers of Slovenia in the period 2000–2015
Full text linkV zadnjih letih so se uveljavili številni novi koncepti razmejitve območja, ki posplošujejo in podajajo nove smernice za nadaljnje analize gospodarskega, družbenega, okoljskega in prostorskega razvoja. Funkcionalno regijo je kot nov koncept razmejitve v literaturi moč zaznati že nekaj časa, v novejšem času pa se vse bolj uveljavlja koncept funkcionalnega urbanega območja (FUO). V magistrski nalogi prevzamemo funkcionalna urbana območja, ki jih je modelirala Cetin (2018) po metodi OECD za območje Slovenije v obdobju 2000–2015. V nalogi na ravni regionalnih središč po SPRS (2004) analiziramo številne družbeno-ekonomske in prostorske parametre po FUO regionalnih središč. Izhajamo iz uradnih statističnih podatkov, zbranih na ravni občin (SKTE 5). Nadaljnjo analizo izvajamo v dveh delih. Prvi del zajema analizo statističnih podatkov po FUO in po letih, drugi del pa tematsko obravnava analizo poti na delo po FUO in po letih. V obravnavanem obdobju 2000–2015 analiziramo ter ovrednotimo notranje spremembe analiziranih parametrov na ravni FUO regionalnih središč Slovenije. Analizo v celoti opravimo v programskem orodju Excel, s pomočjo katerega rezultate tudi grafično prikazujemo. Rezultate tematsko predstavljamo v dveh ločenih poglavjih, to so rezultati, vezani na spremembo družbeno-ekonomskih parametrov, ter rezultati, vezani neposredno na spremembo delovne mobilnosti na ravni regionalnih središč Slovenije.Over the last few years, numerous new concepts of area delimitation generalizing and giving new guidelines for further analyses of economic, social, environmental and spatial development have been enforced. A functional region, as a new concept of delimitation, has appeared in literature for quite some time now. In the contemporary era, the concept of functional urban area (FUA) is gaining in importance. In this graduation thesis, functional urban area, modelled by Cetin (2018) after the OECD method for the area of Slovenia between 2000 and 2015, were taken. On the level of the regional centres after SPRS (2004), numerous social-economic and spatial parameters of regional centres, FUAs were analysed. The official statistic data, collected on the level of municipalities (SKTE 5), served as sources for our analysis. Further analysis is done in two parts. The first part consists of the statistical data analysis after FUAs over the yearsthe second part thematically discusses the analysis of labour commuting routes in FUAs and over the years respectively. An analysis and an evaluation of internal changes of the analysed parameters in FUAs of the regional centres of Slovenia is presented for the period between 2000 and 2015. The analysis is made completely with the programme Excel, which also helps present the results graphically. The results are presented in two different separated chapters: the results, bound up to the change of the social-economic parameters, and the results, bound up directly to the change of labour commuting on the level of regional centres of Slovenia
