| description | By changing the spatial planning policy after 1991, a new practice of spatial development planning was introduced for the Slovenian coastal zone as well. This framework also involves the planning and design of open public space in the narrow coastal zone. The focus of this study was to define the situation concerning the manifestations of these spaces, their typology, design project practices, and the actual implementation level. The Strunjan Bay was selected as the study area, i.e. as a special landscape and cultural entity subject to a multitude of development and conservation interests. Using a descriptive research method, 10 existing projects were analysed for the area, which contain detailed designs of open public spaces. By comparing the individual parameters we found that the projects used a variety of authorial approaches, adapted processing criteria, and various interpretations of attractive visual elements, which are a component of the overall set design of traditional activities related to the marine environment. For most of the cases we found that they provided high-quality spatial solutions, but the level of their implementation was low – due to many complex reasons. The key differences are due to the different reasons of introducing these projects and their sources of financing. The solutions are therefore either highly research-oriented or, on the contrary, investment-oriented. In all cases the presence of the relevant spatial profession is evident. With all its accessible open public space, the coastal zone must remain in the public domain. A high-quality design of the spatial solutions in the zone can significantly contribute to a sustainable provision of democratic use of a public good. |
