2015 Conference Paper: TITLE: “Conflicts of Interests in Rural Areas”
* Presenter: Špela Guštin, Slovenia, University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Arts, Geography Department
ABSTRACT: Rural areas fulfill many different functions and serve a wide range of stakeholders (farmers, second home owners, environmentalists, decision makers, etc.). Their values and interests often clash and create conflicts. Conflict data are hard to capture because multiple stakeholders are involved and no official database exists. One possible method of data acquisition is a newspaper content analysis. To assess the spatial and temporal pattern and intensity of conflicts in rural areas (case study: Izola municipality, Slovenia) we examined closely a regional newspaper for the period 2008-2014. Conflicts had a geographic reference so text could be converted to GIS data
