Abstract

The paper studies the problem of constructing cableways with advanced technology and their influence on the operation and development of cableway companies from several aspects. Modern cableways with detachable grips enable faster carriage of passengers. They have the possibility of transporting more passengers over the same distances. Recently, this trend of introducing modern cableways has been particularly present in chairlifts which carry skiers. Such chairlifts with detachable grips allow transport of skiers over greater distances and therefore must have respective ski slopes covering wider areas which in turn affects the expansion of the mountain tourist centres. The chairlifts with detachable grips require more knowledge and personnel to manage and maintain them, as well as more investment capital. Članak proučava problem izgradnje žičara s modernom tehnikom i njihov utjecaj na rad i razvoj žičarskih poduzeća s više gledišta. Moderne žičare s tehnikom priklopnih spojki omogućavaju brži prijevoz putnika. One imaju mogućnost da na jednakim relacijama prevoze više putnika. U posljednje je vrijeme ovaj trend uvođenja modernih žičara naročito prisutan kod sjedežnica koje služe za prijevoz skijaša. Ovakve sjedežnice s priklopnim spojkama omogućavaju prijevoz skijaša na većim daljinama pa zbog toga moraju imati pripadajuće skijaške pruge veće površine, što ima utjecaj na širenje gorskih turističkih centara. Sjedežnice s priklopnim spojkama zahtijevaju više znanja i osoblja za upravljanje i održavanje i isto tako više uloženog kapitala.

Abstract

The cableway transport system is very important for the Slovenian tourist economy. Within the Slovene transport system, the cableway transport subsystem has a specific role because it allows and ensures access to regions which are difficult to access or completely inaccessible by other transport subsystems owing to the configuration of the area. The quality and development of transport services are directly linked to the introduction of new cableways. New technical achievements, which are nowadays used in cableways, all provide greater capacity and higher speed of cableways, which, however, results in their higher maintenance and exploitation costs. The cableway transport system is being developed in Slovenia, but not on principles of sustainable development. This paper presents a model of sustainable growth and development of the cableway transport system in Slovenia based on which it is possible to determine assumptions for future growth so that the Slovene cableway transport system would approach standards of such highly developed systems. The new model includes ten essential elements of this system for which growth rates were calculated. Žičniški prometni sistem ima v slovenskem turističnem gospodarstvu važno vlogo. V okviru prometnega sistema ima kot prometni podsistem specifično vlogo, saj nudi dostopnosti do krajev, ki so zaradi geografskih značilnosti težko dostopni ali nedostopni z drugimi prometnimi podsistemi. Novi tehnični dosežki, ki se uporabljajo na žičniških napravah omogočajo vse večje hitrosti in kapacitete žičniških naprav, vendar je zaradi vedno več potrebno vlagat v vzdrževanje in obratovanje žičniških naprav Žičniški prometni sistem se v Sloveniji razvija, ampak na načelih trajnostnega razvoja. V tem članku je predstavljen model trajnostne rasti in razvoja žičniškega prometnega sistema v Sloveniji, na osnovi katerega je mogoče določiti predpostavke za bodoči trajnostni razvoj, da bi se slovenski žičniški promet približal standardom visoko razvitih žičniških sistemov. Novi model zajema 10 bistvenih elementov tega sistema, znotraj katerih so podane direktne in indirektne stopnje rasti razvoja.
