Zahodna Slovenija obsega okrog 8.000 km 2 . Sega
izpod Alp in se razteza ~ez kra{ko, deloma gozdnato
Dinarsko gorstvo vse do skrajnega severnega dela
Mediterana. V Alpah, ki se iz severa in severozahoda
zaklju~ijo v Sloveniji, se razprostira edini slovenski nacionalni park, tj. Triglavski narodni park.
Jugozahodni rob regije sega do 47 km dolge obale Jadranskega morja. Prebivalstvo regije je
zgo{~eno okoli glavnega mesta Ljubljane in drugih urbanih centrov, prav tako ob obali. Oddaljeni
hriboviti in gorati predeli so ve~inoma neposeljeni. Število prebivalcev se v Zahodni Sloveniji
pove~uje hitreje kot v Vzhodni Sloveniji, deloma zaradi naravnega prirasta, {e bolj pa zaradi
priseljevanja. Zahodna Slovenija zajema gospodarsko najbolj razvita obmo~ja v dr‘avi. Storitve
prispevajo okrog 70 % bruto dodane vrednosti. Infrastrukturno omre‘je ima tu dve veliki prometni
sredi{~i – Luko Koper in mednarodno Letali{~e Jo‘eta Pu~nika Ljubljana. V tem delu dr‘ave se
nahaja ve~ina dr‘avnih institucij, poleg tega pa tu poteka tudi velik del pomembnih poslovnih
in inovacijskih dejavnosti in intenzivna raziskovalna dejavnost. Svetovno znane turisti~ne
znamenitosti privabljajo v ta del Slovenije {tevilne turiste. Regija slovi tudi po o~arljivih kra{kih
vasicah z odli~no kulinari~no in vinsko ponudbo, po tradicionalnem ~ipkarstvu in kova{tvu ter
po mnogih prilo‘nostih za razli~ne {portne aktivnosti.
Zahodna Slovenija covers around 8,000 km 2 and is located between the Alps and the Mediterranean,
passing the karstified, partly wooded Dinaric Mountains. In the Alps, stretching with
their ridges into Slovenia from the north and north-west extends the only Slovene national
park – the Triglav National Park. The south-west edge of the region reaches a short coastline
of the Adriatic Sea in length of only 47 km. Population in the region is mainly concentrated
around the capital Ljubljana and other urban centres, also at the coast. Remote hilly and
mountainous areas are mainly uninhabited. The number of population in Zahodna Slovenija is
increasing faster than in Vzhodna Slovenija due to natural increase and even more because of
immigration. Zahodna Slovenija includes the country’s most economically developed areas.
Services have with around 70% the largest share in the gross value added. The regional transportation
network has two important centres - the Port of Koper and the largest Slovenian
international airport Ljubljana Jo‘e Pu~nik Airport. Besides the concentration of government
institutions, central business activities and innovations, the region is also characterised by
intensive research activities. Some popular mountain and coastal tourist resorts attract a high
number of tourists. The region is famed for its charming villages with specific culinary and
wine offers, tradition of lace-making and blacksmithing, and many opportunities for all kinds
of sporting activities.
