Slovenia’s geodiversity, or its abiotic natural diversity, becomes more and more significant when considering regulations on nature conservation. This article presents theoretical background information to the study of geodiversity
and geomorphological heritage and the current state of this field in Slovenia. The first quantitative evaluation of geomorphological heritage in Slovenia, which was carried out in the Triglav Lakes Valley, is also presented. - (IKR)
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.).
This paper provides an overview of hydromorphological and related classifications of rivers in Slovenia and elsewhere. The Rosgen classification is presented in greater detail; it was used in the study as the basis for developing the first Slovenian
hydromorphological classification. A hydromorphological survey form was designed to classify rivers and used in the office and field survey of hydromorphological variables in the 95 river sections selected in Slovenia. - (L'A.).
The A. examines the meaning of home ownership in Slovenia both before and after democratic changes. In the 1980s there was an acute housing shortage and households opted for the tenure which provided them with a better chance of being housed
