response: 'Response from the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning

  The Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning is preparing a new Spatial
  Development Strategy for Slovenia. One of the key focuses of the new strategy, which
  is based on the recognised role of cities in sustainable spatial development and
  the guidelines for urban development that have emerged at the global and European
  level over the last decade, is the promotion of cohesive settlements.

  The trend towards suburbanisation has been particularly recognised among the characteristics
  and trends of spatial development in Slovenia, which is characteristic in particular
  in the functional areas of larger cities. The attractiveness of suburban settlements
  is enhanced by the high prices of housing in cities, as land and property prices
  in these settlements are more favourable than in urban centres. Therefore, one of
  the main development challenges for Slovenia''s spatial development is the new role
  of cities, where urban development should take into account, in particular, polycentric
  spatial organisation, good accessibility to services of general interest and the
  coherence of the urban fabric.

  The spatial development objectives, in particular the competitiveness of Slovenian
  cities, are written in this context, strengthening the development role of cities
  as centres in a polycentric urban system, both in the national context and in cross-border
  and international integration processes. The new strategy highlights two priorities:
  functional integration and integrated management of cities, and improving the locational
  attractiveness of cities.

  It should be stressed that the successful implementation of the strategy requires
  that all the systems - economic, spatial, social (societal) and environmental -
  work closely together. Integration between sectors and management actions to achieve
  synergistic and cross-cutting spatial outcomes are strengthened and promoted.

  The determination of the level of compensation for the use of building land (NUSZ)
  is entirely the responsibility of the municipalities, which determine it independently
  and in accordance with their land and spatial policy objectives. The influence of
  the State on the determination of the level of the NUSZ by individual municipalities
  can only be of a recommendatory nature, given the current regulations determining
  the NUSZ. In fact, individual municipalities and even regions with poorer socio-economic
  indicators want to reduce the NIT as much as possible in order not to burden taxpayers
  with additional burdens. While some other municipalities also impose excessive and
  disproportionate burdens on taxpayers, irrespective of the way they pursue their
  development objectives. To this end, a new way of taxing real estate is being prepared,
  which will be based on completely different criteria and criteria than the current
  system of NUSZ (the amount of NUSZ should depend mainly on the communal amenities
  of the land, and less on the location, use and activities on the land or in the
  buildings).

  The issue is very broad and multifaceted and cannot be addressed by individual measures
  in isolation. It is therefore necessary to take into account both the development
  objectives of the national strategy and the development objectives of the spatial
  and land policies of the municipalities.'
