The safety of children in the vicinity of the osnovna šola Miška Kranjca Velika Polana primary school

V diplomskem delu je govora o prometni varnosti otrok v okolici osnovne šole Miška Kranjca v Veliki Polani. Varnost otrok v cestnem prometu je eden večjih problemov doma in po svetu. Otroci spadajo med najbolj ogrožene osebe, saj zaradi svoje starosti, nerazvitosti in pomanjkanja izkušenj ne vedo, kako se je potrebno pravilno vesti v prometu. Zelo pomembno je, da imajo vsi otroci, bodisi iz iste vasi ali iz oddaljenih krajev, zagotovljeno varno pot v šolo in iz nje, pa naj bo to peš pot, kolesarska pot ali pot z avtobusom. V prvem delu diplome je predstavljena osnovna šola Miška Kranjca, s teoretičnega vidika pa je napisano vse o vlogi osnovne šole s področja prometne varnosti in vlogi otroka, kot udeleženca v prometu. V drugem delu je predstavljena sprememba prometne ureditve za OŠ in občino Velika Polana v obdobju desetih let – torej, kaj vse se je spremenilo in zgradilo na boljše, odkar sem sama zapustila OŠ. Predstavljena je tudi vsaka sosednja vas, katere otroci obiskujejo OŠ, zapisane so prednosti in slabosti za otroke, oz. kaj bi lahko spremenili na boljše. V zadnjem delu je analizirana anketa ter opravljeno opazovanja na terenu, na to so podani predlogi za izboljšanje stanja.This diploma thesis deals with children\u27s traffic safety in the vicinity of the Miško Kranjec primary school in Velika Polana. The safety of children in road traffic is namely one of the major problems not only in Slovenia, but all around the globe. Children represent the most vulnerable group of individuals, which due to their age, underdevelopment and lack of experience do not know how to properly behave in traffic. It is very important that all children, those who live in the same village the school is located in as well as those, who come from remote locations, can get to school and back home safely regardless of whether they are walking, riding a bike or taking a bus. The first part of this thesis introduces the Miško Kranjec primary school and from a theoretical point of view describes the role of the school when it comes to traffic safety and the role of the children as road users. The second part of the thesis deals with changes in the traffic regime of the mentioned primary school and the Velika Polana municipality in the last decade. Next comes the introduction of all neighbouring villages, which send their children to the relevant primary school, followed by the advantages and disadvantages for the children or what could be changed for the better. The thesis concludes with an analysis of the survey and the observation of fieldwork, followed by suggestions for improving the current situation
