| Abstract: | This study examines the impact of natural disasters on the sustainable
development of the rural municipality of Loška Dolina, focusing on the
2014 ice storm and subsequent floods. Through semi-structured
interviews with seven key stakeholders, including local government,
civil protection, and affected individuals, the research analyzes the
disasters' effects on the economic, social, and environmental pillars of
sustainability. The ice storm damaged forests and infrastructure, while
floods caused soil contamination and habitat disruption. Despite these
challenges, the community showed resilience and increased climate
awareness. The SWOT analysis highlights both opportunities in the
timber industry and challenges in disaster preparedness. The study
emphasizes integrating disaster risk reduction into sustainable
development planning. |
