The reason for the emergence of good practice
The ZORA Institute is a volunteer non-governmental organization that works in the field of spatial and cultural planning. The goal of the Pumpnca project is to enable residents to use the river Krka recreationally, which, as a natural feature, significantly contributes to the quality of life. With this aim, they undertook the redevelopment of the degraded area of Pumpnca, which is located around the building of the Slovenske eleznice waterworks. In June 2013, they concluded a five-year rental agreement with Slovenski Eleznice.
The operation of best practice
With the help of volunteers, they designed the event space, built toilet facilities and arranged access to the Krka river by setting up a floating raft. In Pumpnca, the Information point Mre za space and the Library under the crowns operate regularly. The immediate goal is to create a place that will give residents a reason to go for a walk and the necessary daily dose of enjoying nature just 15 minutes' walk from the center of the city. tender for the 650th anniversary of the City of Novo mesto.
