Abstract

This paper analyses structural changes in agricultural holdings in the Škofja Loka region focusing on land use in the years 2000 and 2010. The analysis is conducted for the Škofja Loka region by socio-economic types of agricultural holdings, and by territories with different levels of economic development and different natural factors for agricultural production. Structural changes are different between municipalities with different natural factors for agricultural production and different levels of economic development as well as socio-economic types of agricultural holdings. State support for agricultural activity has mitigated overgrowth of agricultural land on naturally less favoured territories.
