Abstract

Over the recent decades, the concept of functional urban areas [FUAs] has been relatively independently established in many countries around the world. The paper first addresses the FUA concepts and their application. T hereafter, a FUA analysis is conducted using an adapted version of the m ethodology used by OECD and Eurostat on the case of Slovenia. Results showed that the existing network of urban centres is solid enough so that FUAs are formed around them, which will in time grow into more solidly delineated functional regions [FRs].
