"National record of functionally derelict areas in Slovenia, 2017" is the first national survey that monitors and identifies functionally derelict areas (FDAs) in Slovenia. Under this comprehensive approach to addressing FDAs, the system for recording and monitoring FDAs in Slovenia was designed and set up. It includes FDA identification and recording, allowing for acquisition of data using field visits, inventory, and interviews with stakeholders at the local (municipal) level and establishment of FDA records. The research investigates the characteristics of functionally derelict areas in Slovenia, criteria for their identification, typology and arguments for further monitoring, and regular updating of this new spatial and data layer.


The sample includes 1081 FDAs in Slovenia. Additional information and up to 5 photos of each FDA are also available in the web application, developed by the research group during the project.


The study was conducted under the auspices of the Department of Geography, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana.
