1. Assessing the consequences of natural disasters on sustainability in rural municipalities : evidence from Loška DolinaVito Bobek, Blanka Lipovac, Tatjana Horvat, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This study examines the impact of natural disasters on the sustainable
development of the rural municipality of Loška Dolina, focusing on the
2014 ice storm and subsequent floods. Through semi-structured
interviews with seven key stakeholders, including local government,
civil protection, and affected individuals, the research analyzes the
disasters' effects on the economic, social, and environmental pillars of
sustainability. The ice storm damaged forests and infrastructure, while
floods caused soil contamination and habitat disruption. Despite these
challenges, the community showed resilience and increased climate
awareness. The SWOT analysis highlights both opportunities in the
timber industry and challenges in disaster preparedness. The study
emphasizes integrating disaster risk reduction into sustainable
development planning.

2. Impacts of the 2022 war in Ukraine on the travel habits of Ukrainian touristsVito Bobek, Gal Gotal, Tatjana Horvat, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The purpose of this paper is to explore how the travel habits of Ukrainian
tourists changed after the beginning of the 2022 war in Ukraine in comparison to the year 2021. The theoretical part of the paper discusses the
impacts of war on tourism; in the empirical part, the secondary and the
primary research on the Ukrainians’ travel habits before and during the war
is performed. The research gives an insight into the frequency of travelling,
planned spending on travel, ethnic dilemmas on travelling, and travel destinations. The research is essential in the context of war and post-war periods
for understanding the psychological and behavioral effects, assessing
economic consequences, addressing destination marketing and recovery
efforts, and facilitating reconciliation and social integration. Research limitations include the scope and generalizability of the findings, self-reporting
biases, causality and temporal issues, and limited timeframe and context.

3. Directions for the sustainability of innovative clustering in a countryVito Bobek, Vladislav Streltsov, Tatjana Horvat, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: This paper presents potential improvements through utilizing the cyclical nature of clusters by human capital, technology, policies, and management. A historical review of the formation and sustainable development of clusters in the US, Europe, Japan, China, and other regions is carried out to achieve this. The aim was to identify and assess the prominent occurrence cases, the central institutional actors, the indicators of their innovative activity, and the schematics of successful cluster management. The theory section covers current classification methods and typology of innovation-territorial economic associations. Consequently, a regression analysis model is produced to identify the potential dominant success factors in implementing the innovation policy of the most successful innovative clusters. Comments on the influence of these predictors on the competitiveness and level of innovative development of the 50 inspected countries follow. As a result of qualitative and quantitative analysis, an overview of the best world practice, the new vision, and its priorities are proposed to improve the efficiency at the level of management structures of innovation clusters.

4. Qualitative indicators for measuring the performance development of selected citiesJasmina Mavrič, Polona Tominc, Vito Bobek, 2014, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Recognizing that cities are becoming generators of economic development and a source of growth for the national economy, researchers are increasingly identifying the stages of development and positioning of cities upon which the adequate preparation of strategic and development guidelines is dependent. The comparison of the level of their development efficiency calls for indicators measuring the performance of cities that are representative and comparable between countries. In the case of medium-sized cities, we consequently have to question the applicability of the methodology and indicators used mostly in cases of large, global cities by internationally recognized institutions. With the established set of qualitative indicators and assistance from a computer program for multiparameter decision-making processes (DEXi), this paper also seeks to compare the performance development of selected European cities.

5. Regionalization of Slovenia by establishing functional regionsLeonida Šnajder, Vito Bobek, 2014, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Slovenia is a country with a plurality of municipalities that are (in most cases) too small in terms of development and in need of more inducements for tourism, greater investment opportunities, and the establishment of shopping and logistics channels. Of Sloveniaʹs 212 municipalities, 111 do not meet the statutory minimum level for the establishment of a municipality, which is reflected in the uneven development in various parts of the country. A similar problem has been faced by other countries (e.g., Austria), but they have resolved this problem to a satisfactory level, particularly by applying the concept of functional networking. The design and development of uniform regions, their connectedness, and their openness to cross-border cooperation are all crucial for the effective development of Slovenia as a whole, which will stimulate regional development based on functional integration. The purpose of this article is to examine whether it is possible to establish a functional region in Slovenia; we will explore the legal foundations, methods, and effects of such an establi-shment.

10. Trade war between the USA and China : impact on an Austrian company in the steel sectorThomas Scheipl, Vito Bobek, Tatjana Horvat, 2020, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The paper is intended to provide information on the trade war between China and the USA. It analyses the consequences of the trade dispute, discusses the impact on an Austrian company in the steel sector, gives an overview of possible strategies with which companies can reduce the negative effects of tariffs and discusses strategies that are good options for companies in the steel industry. The methodology applied included theoretical and empirical research based on quantitative analysis as well as quantitative research in the form of expert interviews. The results show that the trade war between China and the USA was in full swing until January 2020. The impacts do not only affect the parties involved, but also other parties such as the EU. Companies can use a variety of strategies to mitigate the negative effects of trade wars. The best strategy for a company depends on the structure of the company, its products and its competitors. The paper adds new insights to the existing literature on the trade war between China and the US and its effects, strategies to mitigate the negative effects of tariffs and discussions on optimal strategies for companies in the steel industry.
