Abstract

In Slovenia, the establishment of protected areas has a two hundred years long tradition. It modestly started off as protection of wooded areas and in time developed into protection of natural and cultural landscapes. In its institutional form, it originated in the Alpine World and as protection awareness increased, it was later applied to other
areas. In Slovenia, there are one national, three regional and forty-four landscape parks. Six relatively large regional parks are still in the process of being approved. Less than a quarter of the parks is managed by professional management institutions such
as public institutes (7) or limited liability companies (2). In all other parks, protection strategy and the physical protection of natural and cultural heritage is dealt with by competent protection institutions. Also, traditional forms of culture are strongly represented in nature parks, where they are researched by various protection, research and educational institutions. Unfortunately, in practice the interpretation of heritage and all non-material phenomena is much too often carried out on an amateur level.
