摘要：Slovenia has 42 km of Adriatic coastline that includes three protected coastal wetlands covering 1.270 ha while the size of the wetland-catchment areas (WCA) is 22.319 ha. It means that actual management, oriented in the protected areas, amounts to only 6% of all WCA-s and does not consider the interactions with land use in 94 % of surrounding buffer zone. The article argues the ecological as well as socio-economic significance and the effectiveness of a broader participatory management in the frame of WCA. Following validation criteria were evaluated in multi-criteria analysis: percentage of wetland protected area inside WCA, the administrative division of WCA, percentage of forest, percentage of developmental activities, and percentage of other protected surfaces ( Natura 2000 etc.). The Landscape Park Strunjan acquired 80 points, Škocjanski zatok 65 points and Sečovlje Salina 60 points from total 100, which in general favours broader management. The percentage of registered activities within the WCA of Landscape park Strunjan is already high, which shows great potential for connecting and joint marketing. It would be sensible to establish a broader management in the Nature reserve Škocjanski zatok and Sečovlje salina, seeing that the WCA-s include many activities, which pollute the surface water.
