“…On the other hand, well-organized rural tourism in Slovenia started at the beginning of the 1970s [6][7][8]. The country has undergone a serious process from the foundation of advisory services, establishing technical conditions and categorization, engaging experts to establishing associations, creating original rural tourism product, training of the locals, and many promotional activities [9,10].…”

Abstract:The research deals with the sustainable development of the Serbian and Slovenian countryside, under the influence of tourism progress. The article identifies the main rural tourism competitiveness in Serbia and Slovenia, as one of the essential factors of rural development in both countries, analyzing the main contributions and making a series of proposals to guide the future research agenda. The aim of the paper is to clarify around one obviously defined objective-to point out the competitiveness of sustainable rural tourism in typical post-socialist settings. The data for this study were collected using the Integrated Model of Destination Competitiveness to observe Serbian and Slovenian competitiveness in tourism. Determinants were assessed using a survey evaluating four demanding factors and 20 supporting factors, based upon a five-point Likert Scale. The results indicated that the friendliness of residents towards visitors, easy communication between them, together with quality of infrastructure and health facilities show the highest level of statistical correlation. These are the main propositions to start an initiative for the authorities in local communities to actively participate in sustainable rural development. The findings provide tourism stakeholders with relevant respondents' perceptions pertaining to the tourism development in non-urban areas.

“…The measure (code 121), formally called Modernisation of agricultural holdings (EC, 2005), is designed to help agricultural holdings to improve their economic performance through better use of the production factors including the introduction of new technologies and innovations as well as improving the protection of the environment (RDP, 2007). The measure offers the potential for improvement of agricultural production in Slovenia, which is characterised by low productivity and a weak competitive position (Erjavec et al, 1999;Juvančič et al, 2004;Juvančič and Erjavec, 2005). The measure is fi nancially strongly represented in the current national rural development programme (EUR 103.006 million planned in the period 2007-2013 or 8.7 per cent of the overall planned budget).…”

“…To complete the set of reasons for neglecting the issue of ski tourism failure, the situation in farming and the attitude toward it should be mentioned. Agriculture was widely neglected in communist Yugoslavia (Klemenčič and Genorio 1993 ), and when measures to boost farm production were finally introduced in the 1980s (Cochrane 1988 ), mountain farming was already at a critical turning point (Erjavec et al 1998 ). Transition to a market economy after 1991 with the elimination of price controls cast agriculture into a state of considerable uncertainty, combined with the disruption of long-established trade contacts (Turnock 1996 ).…”

This chapter focuses on the resilience, capacity, and role of the sociocultural context in climate change adaptation in a small and marginal local community that prides itself on an affluent past based on ski tourism and agriculture. The empirical part is built on a case study of Livek in the hilly northwestern part of Slovenia on the border with Italy, and it includes data from available literature and a series of interviews with two local opinion leaders. The results show that, in the absence of local-specific and targeted national or regional measures, the path of transition has relied on the community’s internal strength and motivation, mostly stemming from flexibility, stubbornness, identity, and place attachment. A crucial role was played by several NGOs and the Livek Agrarian Community, promoting various activities to improve the quality of life in both tangible and non-tangible aspects. In a favourable regional and national context, the community of Livek succeeded in turning its negative development trends around and adapting to current climate conditions.
