Gorenjska leži v severozahodnem delu Slo-venije. Po regiji poteka X. evropski avtoce-stni in železniški koridor. Na Brniku je osre-dnje slovensko letališče. Vse to prispeva k prometno ugodni legi regije in dobri dosto-pnosti.

Gorenjska je šesta največja slovenska regi-ja, ki meri 2137 km2 in pokriva 10,5 % povr-šine države, v njej pa živi 10 % prebivalcev Slovenije. Gostota poselitve je podpovpreč-na (95,5 prebivalcev/km2), čeprav nekateri njeni deli predstavljajo večja zgostitvena in urbanizirana območja, npr. regijsko središ-če Kranj in mesta Škofja Loka, Jesenice, Ra-dovljica ter Tržič.

Gorenjska je s svojimi naravnimi danostmi, kulturno dediščino ter dogodki in dejav-nostmi, ki jih ponuja, pomembna turistična destinacija.

Naravnogeografsko je 70 % Gorenjske gorski svet, le 30 % regije pa leži v dolinsko-ravnin-skem delu osrednje Slovenije. Kar 40 % regi-je se nahaja nad 1000 m nadmorske višine, 44 % pa obsega območja NATURE 2000. Gozdne površine predstavljajo 60 % Gorenj-ske, 26 % pa je kmetijskih površin. Gorenjska je alpska regija z značilno raznoliko gorsko krajino. Razgibano površje zaznamujejo vi-soke gore, med katerimi je najvišji Triglav, simbol slovenstva.

ABOUT THE REGION AND THE AGENCYThe Gorenjska region is in the northwest part of Slovenia. The Pan-European Cor-ridor X runs through Gorenjska. Slovenia’s main airport is located in Brnik. All of this contributes to the region’s favorable loca-tion in terms of transport and good acces-sibility.

Gorenjska covers a surface area of 2,137km2, which equates to 10.5% of the country, mak-ing it the sixth biggest region in Slovenia, and home to 10% of the population. The density of settlements is average (95.5 in-habitants/km2), although some parts have greater concentration and urbanized are-as, e.g. the region’s capital, Kranj, and the towns of Škofja Loka, Jesenice, Radovljica, and Tržič. Gorenjska’s natural features and cultural heritage, as well as the events and activities it offers, make it an important tourist destination.

Geographically, 70% of Gorenjska is moun-tainous, with only 30% of the region lying in the valley and flat part of central Slovenia. As much as 40% of the region is situated at over 1,000 meters above sea-level, whilst 44% is part of NATURA 2000. Sixty-percent of Gorenjska is forested, and 26% of the re-gion’s land is agricultural. Gorenjska is an alpine region with a distinctive mountain-ous landscape. The varied terrain is dis-tinguished by high mountains, Mt. Triglav

being the highest and a symbol of Slovenia branded into the heart and soul of each Slovenian.

BSC Kranj is the Regional Development Agency of Gorenjska and has been operat-ing as a link between regional and nation-al levels since 1995. BSC Kranj co-operates with municipalities, companies, regional chambers of commerce, non-governmen-tal organizations, ministries and other state bodies.

Prebivalci Gorenjske so naš najpomembnej-ši razvojni potencial. Nenehen razvoj na vseh področjih človekovega življenja zahte-va usvajanje novih veščin in znanj.

OKOLJE, PROSTOR IN INFRASTRUKTURA

ENVIRONMENT, SPACE ANDINFRASTRUCTURE

Ohranjanje zdravega bivalnega okolja Kakovostne zaloge pitne vode in lesa, čiste reke in jezera ter zvezde, vidne na nočnem nebu, so pomembne dobrine Gorenjske. Skoraj četrtino površine regije predstavlja-jo zavarovana območja narave, med njimi tudi Triglavski narodni park.

Naše delo je usmerjeno v ohranjanje zdra-vega bivalnega okolja in skladen prostorski razvoj. Pripravljamo rešitve za učinkovito rabo energije in zmanjševanje onesnaže-nosti, oživljamo vaška in mestna središča ter spodbujamo okolju prijazno mobilnost. Želimo si, da je Gorenjska regija zadovoljnih ljudi, ki z veseljem in varno kolesarijo novim dogodivščinam naproti.

Maintaining a healthy living environmentQuality resources of drinking water and wood, clean rivers and lakes, and stars vis-ible in the night sky are some of the most important features in Gorenjska. Almost a quarter of the region consists of protected areas of nature, including Slovenia's only national park - Triglav National Park.

BSC Kranj's work is focused on maintaining a healthy living environment and harmoni-ous spatial development. The agency works on solutions for the efficient use of energy and reducing pollution, reviving village and town centres, and encouraging environ-mentally-friendly mobility. It is BSC Kranj's desire that Gorenjska is a region of happy, satisfied people, who delight in safely tack-ling new adventures head-on.

Trajnostni razvoj in nova trajnostna zelena delovna mesta gradimo na razvoju znanj in talentov svojih ljudi, endogenih potenci-alih, razvoju kakovosti produktov in storitev ter povezovanju v verige vrednosti, ohra-njenem naravnem okolju, kulturni dedišči-ni, identiteti in partnerstvu med sektorji. Pri tem upoštevamo razlike med generacijami in njihove interese, spodbujamo strpnost, vključujemo ranljive ciljne skupine, povezu-jemo vasi z mesti in se odpiramo v svet.
