The text first addresses some basic environmental dilemmas in modern societies that are highly dependent on technology. Even reflexively conscious social groups encounter great difficulties in their environmental orientation at the level of everyday life. The confusion is even more obvious at the level of the general public opinion. The text presents and comments a synthesis of the findings from public opinion surveys, which confirm the confusion, superficiality, and inconsistencies in people's attitudes to the environment and the changes that are required to legitimately achieve sustainable development goals. A professed sustainable orientation to the environment is relatively clear, but this radical vision is poorly support by concrete actions at the level of everyday life.

This is the first of two studies that analyze the possibility of improving traffic regulation in Ljubljana based on the public perception of congestion charging. The term congestion charging denotes different models of solving road congestion, in which the road users (especially automobile users) are required to pay financial compensation for the use of a particular segment of the road network in a given, usually urban area. The very concept of congestion charging is based on the assumption that the use of personal vehicles in circulation in specific circumstances can produce different adverse effects - externalities. Monetary compensation for the use of a specific road in this context acts as a mechanism of internalization of these costs i.e. as a form of compensation for externalities. The study not only measured the views, opinions and perceptions of respondents about the possibility of introducing compensation for car entry into specific areas of the city, but also investigated the perception of other measures to be implemented within the CIVITAS Elan project, in particular the concept of park-and-ride (P + R), use of alternative modes of transport (bus, bike) and parking facilities at the edge of a town, primarily intended for the use of commuters. In addition to questions on both topics, the questionnaire also covered other relevant socio-cultural dimensions of project measures - e.g. individual mobility (driving habits, preference on transport policy etc.) and demographics (education, age, working status etc.) of population surveyed

COBISS.SI-ID: 32034141This paper explores the link between graduates 'employability' and university-business cooperation - two major pillars of higher education' s labour market orientation policies. Based on selected studies, the paper develops and discusses several own conceptual frameworks. In the conclusion, it offers future research recommendations on studying the relationship between career success and university-business cooperation. It calls in particular for a stronger focus on SMEs and 'average' universities and compares similarities and differences among study fields and economic sectors.
