A distinctly negative attitude towards Luka Koper lately developed among a certain part of the Koper residents. This is due to the fact that Luka Koper, the owner of the only Slovenian port, intends to expand its port and logistic services and start intensive construction at Pier III. With the help of our survey we have shown what the general attitude towards Luka Koper is like on the level of the whole community in Koper, as well as explained the reasons for this growing dissatisfaction among the people. We have also defined the resident groups that oppose the expansion of the port and presented the effects of the port which residents detect in different areas of their community.
