Slovenia is a country of exceptionally diverse landscapes at the intersection of four major European macroregions: the Alpine, Pannonian, Dinaric, and Mediterranean regions. Terraces, which are a characteristic Mediterranean landscape element, occur
In this paper we examine whether Slovenia's landscape diversity is reflected in natural geographical classifications (landscape typifications and regionalizations) on the European level. We examine how many European natural geographical types
or regions are present in Slovenia and its immediate vicinity. - (L'A.).
Suitability of Hammond's method for determining landform units in Slovenia
Classification ; Digital elevation model ; Geomorphology ; Relief ; Slovenia
Landform is often the most important factor in distinguishing between regions and an important element of geographic classification, typification, and regionalization; this is why morphological classification has had a long tradition in Slovenia
The paper assesses the earthquake vulnerability of multi-residential buildings in Slovenia, although it is limited to the buildings that were built before 1981, in the time when the earthquake building codes were much less elaborated than today
Ecogeography ; Geographic research ; Slovenia ; Theoretical geography ; University
Theoretical geographical guidelines of environmental geography in Slovenia were schemed in the first half of the 1970s by S. Ilešič and D. Radinja. The associates of the Department conducted numerous investigations into the anthropogenic
transformation of Slovenia, and its landscapes. - (L'A.).

This article describes Slovenia's landform units, their basic morphometric indicators and the method of their determination using digital elevation model and geographic information system. In Slovenia 195 individual landform units and 8 landform
of several countries), there are also problems in ethnically mixed areas. These are examined in greater detail in the case of place names in Slovenia and neighboring countries. - (L'A.).

Geographical monographs of Slovenia by A. Melik, and university and secondary school textbooks by S. Ilešič, enabled the Slovene regional geography to pursue international developments in this field. Tempestuous debates about the methodology
Boundary conditions of morphodynamic processes in the Mura River in Slovenia
Channel geometry ; Fluvial dynamics ; Grain size distribution ; Gravel ; River bed ; Sediment transport ; Slovenia ; Stream
In this paper, the AA. have analysed 3 key river dynamic relevant parameters, namely basic hydrologic parameters, sediment regime, and planview and cross section changes of the Mura River in Slovenia. They have obtained all available historical maps
and hydrological data, determined present sediment granulometry along the river and analysed changes in river morphology. The purpose of the study was to detect boundary conditions of morphodynamic processes in the Mura River in Slovenia as the first phase
Geographic research ; Slovenia ; Social geography ; University
This treatise describes the development of social geography during ninety years of its existence at the University of Ljubljana. This development can be divided into three periods: (1) traditional geography; (2) fast industrialization in Slovenia
and the connected processes of urbanization and deagrarization, manifested in dynamic changes in image and function of the Slovene landscape; and (3) after independence of Slovenia with attempts to introduce sustainable development. - (L'A.).
This article is a continuation of the article on soil erosion in submediterranean Slovene Istria from the first issue of the 2009 (49-1) journal. In this article we present geomorphic processes in the badlands of the same area (Dragonja River basin
, SW Slovenia): sediment production from steep bare (Eocene) flysch slopes (rockwall retreat), movements of flysch debris along erosion gullies, and geomorphic processes on talus slopes. - (L'A.).

The paper presents some geographical characteristics of investment development in the first years of the 21st century, covering at least fragmentarily the gap in Slovenia’s economic geography. In the process we tried to draw attention

Environmental awareness which is today defined as part of the common awareness of the society was established parallel to the development of the social and political system of the country. The formation of environmental awareness in Slovenia
Meso-scale catchment sediment budgets : combining field surveys and modeling in the Dragonja catchment, southwest Slovenia

basin of the Dragonja (91 km2), southwest Slovenia, was chosen as case study area. The sediment budget presented is based on spatially distributed, detailed on-site measurements of bed erosion and bank erosion, modelled hillslope sediment flux

of determining landform units has also been tested in Slovenia. Due to weaknesses that were revealed, Hammond's original method was suitably adapted. Nineteen landform units grouped into five landform groups were thus identified. - (L'A.).

The aim was to estimate the perspectiveness of family farms on the basis of succession analysis of 38 farms in some municipalities of North-East Slovenia, and to find out if the differences between farms with and without successor regarding some
