20.500.12556/DKUM-70051 The LEADER approach - new development opportunity for rural areas in Slovenia Integrated rural development programmes, which are prepared with the active involvement of local citizens, have a long tradition in Slovenia. In the period 1991-2006, Slovenia introduced “Programmes of Integrated Rural Development and Village Renewal” and “Development Programmes for Rural Areas”, which were quite similar to the LEADER initiative in the European Union. From the 2007-2013 programming period, the LEADER approach has been mainstreamed within the overall EU rural development policy. This means that LEADER is included in national and regional rural development programmes supported by the EU, alongside a range of other rural development axes. The main emphasis of the current paper is given to the implementation of the LEADER approach and establishment of local action groups in the 2007-2013 programming period. The paper consists of three parts. The first part presents the general characteristics of the LEADER approach and the measures which are carried out in the 2007-2013 Rural Development Programme. In the second part, an analysis of 33 Local Action Groups is described. The main focus is given to spatial-demographic characteristics, the partnership structure, and the organisation of the decision making body. The paper concludes with an analysis of 33 Local Development Strategies. We analysed the extent to which the strategic goals and priority tasks of Local Development Strategies follow the economic, social and spatial-environmental component of sustainable development. rural development agricultural policy LEADER approach local action groups structure of partnership local development strategies Slovenija razvoj podeželja kmetijska politika lokalne skupnosti razvojne strategije LEADER true true true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Oddelek za geografijo, Filozofska fakulteta Univerze v Mariboru Znanstveno delo 2018-03-29 09:57:54 2018-03-29 09:59:51 2022-08-01 18:43:59 2019-10-22 03:12:18 2010 0 0 str. 55-65 št. 2 Letn. 5 2010 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 1854-665X 631.1 229718016 3366248 1854-665X URN:SI:UM:DK:T076M7MQ Revija_za_geografijo_2010_Cunder,_Bedrac_The_LEADER_approach_-_new_development_opportunity_for_rural_areas_in_Slovenia.pdf Revija_za_geografijo_2010_Cunder,_Bedrac_The_LEADER_approach_-_new_development_opportunity_for_rural_areas_in_Slovenia.pdf 1 98CEE3BB3C8396226AD8A68AF1727AB4 9eae071d627a9839022aa5b4d0af1bce315f696ac7fd15d3f8f5929fe350ba24 d91a3e67-7c0f-11eb-bb7a-00155d0001ca 20.500.12556/dkum/65b897fb-1b9a-4470-b950-a4bd31250700 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=123513 http://www.ff.um.si/zalozba-in-knjigarna/ponudba/zbirke-in-revije/revija-za-geografijo/clanki/stevilka-5-2-2010/052-05_cunder_bedrac.pdf 1 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=123512 Filozofska fakulteta Revija za geografijo 0 0 0
