Sažetak
The first part of the paper examines Slovenian agricultural and
enviromental policy related to nature protection and sustainable rural
development in the period of the country's transition, characterised by
the creation a new independent state, introduction of multi-party democratic political system, and replacement of planned-market economy with the market one as well as by the coming accession to
the EU. The analysis of relevant laws reveals that the environment
and nature protection legislation is more elaborated and more effective in practice than the agricultural and forestry legislation, both
displaying a top-down approach. In the second part of the paper the
impact of these legislation on agriculture, forestry and environment
protection is tested by empirical data collected with the interviews
of some members of local (20) and state (7) elite in relation to the
proposed foundation of Regional park Tmovski gozd as a protected
area. Local and state elite respondents believe that despite some limitations the park will offer good opportunities for local development
(the promotion of the area, new jobs, eco-tourism), and by the same
token guarantee protection of nature/biodiversity and the environment. It has been generally agreed by local elite that local authorities and local residents (non-governmental organizations) should participate in all stages of the fondation of regional park Trnovski gozd.
