This text gives a brief overview of the research work in the field of geographical marginality in Slovenia and presents some of the views and findings of the A. about geographical marginality and about marginalareas in Slovenia. The topic

Marginality is a complex phenomenon resulting from the specific natural, economic as well as socio-cultural attributes of individual region. It includes impossibility of the population living in a given territory to integrate itself into the main
developmental trends. Transforming marginality into comparative advantage can be seen as one of promising ways to overcome it. As a region marginal from socio-economic percpective, but highly attractive as tourist destination, Šumava Mts were chosen as a model
area to demonstrate the idea. Documented by empirical findings, the latest history of the region is discussed in terms of assessing the strong and weak points of developmental strategy adopted by the region, which is based on tourism as the main agent
Sustainable land management in marginal mountain areas of the Himalayan region
of the effort to provide food security and sustainable livehoods for such marginal farmers. The International Centre for Integrated Mountains Development's (ICIMOD) afforestation strategies for degraded marginalareas are discussed, with reference to Sikkim
There is little arable land in the hills and mountains of the Himalayan region, where small, marginal farmers try to eke out a living. A new thinking advocates research in niche based sustainable production systems on marginal lands as part
Recording marginal glacial deposits by satellite imagery
Based on imagery and experiences from areas influenced by the last Scandinavian ice sheet (Weichsel), the potential use of satellites (Landsat) for imaging large-scale glacial accumulations, especially marginal deposits, is discussed. The ability
of satellite imagery to bring consistency in apparently disperse terrain elements and to visualize landscape systems because of its wide overview is pointed at. The possibility of getting information on marginal features in less known and remote areas
for detecting accumulation systems, or for making geomorphological comparison between marginalareas in different parts of a former glaciation, is illustrated with examples from the Verchojansk mountains and the Kola peninsula.

Despite its natural wealth, the region is a relatively unexplored and deserted area. Accessibility remains difficult due to the acute guerrilla workfare in the surrounding provinces. The health situation is one of the poorest in Cambodia. The infant
Theoretical and methodological aspects of the identification and delimitation of peripheral areas

to the concept of polarisation of space as a central theoretical point of departure in studying peripheral areas. In the second section, attention is directed at defining the terms marginality/ peripherality and marginal/peripheral areas. - (EN)
This article focuses on the topic of the polarisation of space. Its objective is to give a basic overview of the theoretical and methodological aspects of research on peripheral areas and to discuss selected aspects. Attention is given

Vertical movement of isolated oceanic islands at plate margins : evidence from emergent reefs in Tonga (Pacific Ocean), Cayman Islands (Caribbean Sea) and Christmas Island (Indian Ocean) in The geomorphology of plate boundaries and active
continental margins.
This paper examines the evidence for vertical movement of oceanic islands at three plate margin locations. Each is located adjacent to a deep ocean trench, but represents a different plate margin setting from a different ocean. For each of the areas
The article explains the current potentials of the rural areas that are still based on agriculture, forestry and sheep farming. This perspective of analysis aims at providing a direct contribution to the many thoughts raised by the field trips
Field studies of sand patch initiation processes on the northern margin of the Namib Sand Sea

Some parts of the interdune areas on the northern margin of the Namib Sand Sea are characterized by areas of thin sand sheets and sand patches 1 to 10 m across and a few centimetres thick that appear to be protodunes. This paper documents
Fluvioglacial landforms and ice margin characteristics. An example from the Torneträsk area in northern Sweden
The aim of this paper is to illustrate a series of events which occured during the last phases of the deglaciation in an area close to Lake Torneträsk in NW Sweden. Case studies were made within four study sites, each with a different morphology
, sediment structure and setting in relation to the retreating ice margin. A reconstruction of the ice front characteristics was made from studies of the morphology and sediment structures of fluvioglacial deposits.
Models for landform development on passive margins. Some implications for relief development in glaciated areas

In this paper, some examples of passive marginal landscapes, taken principally from tropical and other extra-glacial areas (southern Africa, southern Australia, South America and western Africa), are used to provide a comparison with published
observations drawn from glacierized areas. Despite the differences in tectonic and geological settings, such a comparison may assist in the identification of pre-glacial forms and throw some new light on the likely course of denudation in areas subject

Taking Southeast Asia as an example, the A. explores how areas are imagined and how area knowledge is structured to construct area heartlands as well as area borderlands. This is illustrated by considering a large region of Asia named Zomia
. As Zomia was quartered and rendered peripheral by the emergence of strong communities of area, the production of knowledge about it slowed down.
Ice margins and deglaciation in the Berlin area between Brandenburg and Frankfurt end moraines. A review
The views of different AA. concerning the reconstruction of the ice marginal positions of the maximum advance and the retreating inland-ice are given. Typical features are outwash plains, meltwater channels as well as kame-like meltwater deposits
