1. Impact of logistics trends on freight transport development in urban areasTomislav Letnik, Katja Hanžič, Giuseppe Luppino, Matej Mencinger, 2022, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: City logistics is subject to constant development, generated by new logistics trends and
high customers’ expectations. With the aim of creating an effective, acceptable, and sustainable city
logistics policy, it is therefore essential to understand logistics trends and their expected impact on
the development of urban freight transport in the future. In this paper, we explore and compare the
expectations of public authorities, business, and academia regarding the short-, medium-, and longterm impacts of different logistics trends on urban logistics. Following a literature review, the expert
survey was used to assess the expected impact and time horizon. According to the respondents,
“e-commerce”, “automated vehicles”, “electric vehicles”, “grey power logistics”, “omni-channel
logistics”, and the “desire for speed” will have the greatest impact on urban freight transport in
the future. An interesting observation concerns some differences of opinion between public and
private stakeholders. In general, the business community believes that the identified trends will have
a greater impact on urban logistics in a shorter period of time, while public authorities believe that
the mentioned trends will have a less strong impact on urban logistics in a longer time scale. This
shows the need for more active collaboration between them in the policy-making process. Ključne besede: logistics trends, urban freight, policy making, stakeholders’ perspective Objavljeno v DKUM: 14.03.2025; Ogledov: 0; Prenosov: 5

2. A strategic model for sustainable business policy developmentTjaša Štrukelj, Jelena Nikolić, Dejana Zlatanović, Simona Sternad Zabukovšek, 2020, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Growing importance of sustainable development, corporate social responsibility and business ethics requires various types of contemporary organisations innovation. This research assesses the problem related to business policy innovation (BPI), which represents organisational governance determination. The main purpose of the paper is to qualitatively and quantitatively present a new, requisitely holistic strategic model of the soft factors influencing BPI, which interdependently incorporates changes in organisational values, culture and business ethics, as well as stakeholders’ interests reconciliation, thus determine soft possibilities for more sustainable business policy, management and practice. While the relevance of these factors for business policy is in the literature widely recognized, there is a small amount of empirical research on their influence on BPI. To mitigate this research gap, advanced structural equation modelling (SEM) based partial least squares (PLS) method was used for analysing data of 734 organisations in Slovenia, the EU state. The research results show that researched soft factors organisational values, culture and stakeholders’ interests reconciliation statistically confirmed influence BPI. Thus, these recognitions can be used as the basis for strategic managerial decision making towards social responsibility and sustainability of an organisation. Reasons why it has not been statistically confirmed that business ethics influence BPI needs to be investigated in future research.

3. Heritage tourism, retail revival and city center revitalization : a case study of Koper, SloveniaArmand Faganel, Beti Reisman, Tina Tomažič, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The focus of the paper is the revitalization of a heritage city center and the significance of retail trade and cruise ship tourism within this context. Fundamental concepts have been presented in the literature review and explored the factors contributing to the decline of old city centers. The empirical section of the paper comprises a case study that highlights a specific municipality's efforts to revive its heritage city center. The main attraction in Koper is its well-preserved medieval city center with five centuries old Venetian architecture. An analysis of the municipality's initiatives has been made and a qualitative study that investigates the perceptions and experiences of stakeholders regarding the situation and the municipality's actions to preserve commercial activity in the city center. The results of the semi-structured interviews conducted with three distinct stakeholder groups were analyzed using the qualitative content analysis method. The findings reveal that the chosen municipality has achieved relative success in revitalizing its heritage city. Concurrently, stakeholders' perspectives were utilized to identify potential drawbacks and explore opportunities for mitigating them. The paper concludes by presenting theoretical and methodological contributions to the field of heritage city centers revitalization, not only in the selected municipality but also beyond. These insights inform the appropriate sustainable policy development and marketing strategy.

4. Requirements for establishing energy hubs : practical perspectiveMahmoud A. Hammad, Sara El Gazzar, Borut Jereb, Marjan Sternad, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The global economy has barely begun to recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, only to be thrown into a new crisis because of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The war exacerbated the energy problem by causing a shortage of energy supplies for the EU and other countries, affecting quality of life. As a result, establishing energy hubs for collecting, processing, storing, and transiting energy resources between producing and consuming countries has become imperative to manage energy supplies efficiently. However, previous studies have not yet addressed the requirements for setting up energy hubs from a practical point of view. Therefore, this paper investigates the requirements for the establishment of energy hubs, particularly for oil and gas, from a practical perspective. The researchers conducted 13 semi-structured interviews with different energy stakeholders. Using the SWOT analysis matrix tool, the findings assessed the current state of the global oil and gas market, and the main practical requirements for the establishment of energy hubs were identified, along with the elements for implementation. Furthermore, the article highlighted the most pressing practical issues confronting the establishment of energy centres. Finally, the paper laid out a comprehensive practical framework based on the industry practitioners’ views to help establish energy hubs. The framework provides a possible guide for countries to establish energy hubs based on the main requirements outlined in this study. It can also improve the diversity, flexibility, and security of energy supply, especially for countries that rely on sole suppliers, such as the EU.

5. Cultural events as tools of developing sustainable tourism in rural areas : the case of Sevnica in SloveniaJasna Potočnik Topler, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The purpose of this article is to identify cultural tourism as one of the best practices that can help in the implementation of the Strategy for Sustainable Growth of Slovenian Tourism (2017 - 2021) and to examine the role of cultural events as tools for the development of sustainable tourism. The latter is one of the main trends in the tourism sector, at least in the European context and also in Slovenia as a member country of the European Union. The challenge of developing sustainable tourism destinations is considerable in rural areas, where local communities must be closely observed and by all means included in the decision-making process on future tourism development. This is of the utmost importance as tourism is much more than an economic activity. Therefore, key decision-makers need to be aware that tourism activities affect all local people and many areas of their life and that the role of tourism in rural areas is to improve the quality of life of the local population. Since at least some form of culture can be found in every village, small (rural) tourist destinations often find important opportunities for sustainable tourism development in organizing cultural events, which lead to greater community visibility, cultural branding of the destination, which is significant and also several business opportunities. On the case of Sevnica, this article aims to demonstrate that there is great potential for further development of cultural tourism and its subtypes in Slovenia by further developing cultural tourism and various tourism products based on rich cultural heritage.
