Abstract

In the reform of the institutional system with the introduction of a second level of local self-gov-ernment, factors of balanced regional development play an important role. These are linked to the suitable division of Slovenia into functionally rounded areas and the evaluation of variant divisions and the effects of the polycentric basis of the network of settlements and the decentralization of institutions. The size and geographical position of regions are of strategic importance for the country's regional and spatial plan-ning policies.
