Metoda opredelitve tevila funkcionalnih regij: aplikacija na ravneh nuts 2 in nuts 3 v Sloveniji : A method to define the number of functional regions: an application to nuts 2 and nuts 3 levels in Slovenia

V prispevku predlagamo metodo za opredelitev tevila in sestave funkcionalnih regij v dr avi. Pri metodi za odlo anje glede tevila funkcionalnih regij se upo tevata zahteva po bolj izena eni vrednosti ekonomskih kazalnikov med regijami (povpre na variabilnost bruto pla e na prebivalca med regijami naj bo minimalna) ter evropsko priporo ilo glede tevila prebivalcev v regiji. S predlagano metodo smo analizirali regije na ravneh NUTS 2 in NUTS 3 v Sloveniji v obdobju 2000–2010. V aplikaciji predlagane metode smo iskali podobno razvite regije ( im manj o neenakost med regijami) ; In the article, we suggest a method of decision-making about the number and composition of functional regions in the state. The method considers the economic variable of the average monthly gross earnings per capita in the functional region (the variability between regions should be minimal) as well as the guidelines for the population size of the regions. The method was applied to analyse regions at NUTS 2 and NUTS 3 levels in Slovenia in 2000–2010. In our application we are looking for equally developed regions (with the smallest disparities between regions possible).
