The potential for tourism development in the landscape park Radensko polje

Turizem je danes ena izmed pomembnejših gospodarskih panog v svetu. Vedno večji pomen dobiva tudi v Sloveniji. Za razvoj turizma so izredno pomembna varovana območja, ki imajo ohranjeno naravno in kulturno dediščino, kar predstavlja neprecenljiv razvojni potencial. Radensko polje je naravni in kulturni biser in je krajinski park, zato je pri razvoju tega prostora potrebno upoštevati načela odgovornega in trajnostno naravnanega turizma. Po uvodnem delu smo najprej predstavili teoretična izhodišča, ki so pomembna za razumevanje predmeta naloge. Sledi analiza stanja Krajinskega parka Radensko polje, ki geografsko spada v občino Grosuplje. Podrobneje smo predstavili njegove turistične potenciale, med katerimi je še posebej zanimiv naravni osamelec Kopanj. V empiričnem delu smo izvedli anketo z lokalnim prebivalstvom o možnostih za razvoj turizma na njihovem območju in predstavili ugotovitve. Opravili smo tudi polstrukturirane intervjuje z deležniki javnega, zasebnega in nevladnega sektorja in pridobili njihova mnenja o potencialih razvoja turizma na omenjenem območju. Eden od konkretnih predlogov so nove trase pohodnih poti z možnostjo ogledov kulturnih in naravnih znamenitosti ter možnosti za razvoj rekreativnega turizma. Zanimiv turistični produkt za segment šolske mladine pa so lahko različne dejavnosti v gozdu, ki omogočajo, da otroci na sprehodu po krožni poti okoli Kopanja z igro osvojijo najrazličnejša znanja o drevesih in gozdnih prebivalcih.Today, tourism is one of the most important industries in the world. Its importance in Slovenia is growing. Protected areas that have preserved their natural and cultural heritage are extremely important for the development of tourism and represent an invaluable development potential. Radensko polje, a natural and cultural pearl, is a landscape park, consequently we talk about responsible and sustainable tourism in connection with its development. The first part includes a presentation of the theoretical starting points which are important for understanding the thesis. This is followed by an analysis of the state of Radensko polje Landscape Park, which geographically belongs to the municipality of Grosuplje. There follows a presentation of its tourist potentials, the most interesting being Kopanj, a natural solitary mountain. We conducted a survey among the local population about the possibilities for the development of tourism in their area and presented the findings. We also conducted a semi-structured interview with stakeholders from the public, private and non-governmental sectors and obtained their opinions on the potentials of tourism development in the area. One of the concrete proposals is a new route of hiking trails with the possibility of visiting cultural and natural sights and of developing recreational tourism. An interesting tourist product for schoolchildren could include various activities in the forest, enabling children to playfully gain a wide range of knowledge about trees and their inhabitants while taking a tour around Kopanj
