This book is the first to give a comprehensive and detailed overview of the complete geography of Slovenia in English. Only very few countries, even considerably larger ones, can boast the landscape diversity found in Slovenia since the Alps, the Pannonian Basin, the Dinaric Alps, and the Mediterranean meet and interweave in this small corner of Central Europe, as do Germanic, Hungarian, Slavic, and Romance cultural influences. The book provides a systematical overview of physical and human geographical elements of Slovenia from landforms to cultural characteristics. Special attention is given to landscape diversity, to the presentation of Slovene landscape types and regions, to some particularities and interesting facts of Slovenia, and to the position of Slovenia in the World. The book also illustrates some other important geographical phenomena, processes and interactions between nature and society in nowadays Slovenia. This volume appeals to researchers as well as students in the field of regional geography. It can also serve as a source for complete background information as well as a field guide for Slovenia.
The Triglav Glacier lies on the southeast edge of the Alps, in the Julian Alps below Mount Triglav, Slovenia’s highest peak. Its upper edge lies at 2,500 m. The glacier has been regularly measured, observed, and studied since 1946 by the Anton Melik Geographical Institute at ZRC SAZU. When measurements began it covered 14.4 ha, but today it covers less than half a hectare. The glacier no longer has all glacial features. Thus one may only speak of a glacier because of its past, when it clearly had the basic features of an alpine glacier. Analysis of the geomorphic forms of the Triglav Mountains allows reconstruction of past glaciation. Moraine deposits above the upper edge of Mount Triglav...
V knjigi (izšla je kot CD-ROM) je 37 poglavij na temo naravnih nesreč v Sloveniji. Poglavja so razdeljena v sklope Vrednotenje naravnih nesreč, Preventiva pred naravnimi nesrečami ter Ukrepanje in obvladovanje naravnih nesreč. Prispevki bralca seznanjajo z različnimi primeri naravnih nesreč, preventivnimi ukrepi ter ravnanju ob neljubih dogodkih. Zaradi izjemno širokega kroga avtorjev so dobrodošlo branje za vsakogar, ki ga zanimajo naravne nesreče.
SG. Risbe načrtov se ukvarja z vlogo risbe v procesu načrtovanja ustvarjalk na področju arhitekture.
Knjiga obravnava Resolucijo o nacionalnih razvojnih projektih za obdobje 2007-2023, njene razvojne izzive in njen vpliv na skladen regionalni razvoj, pa tudi nekatere klasične teme regionalne politike in regionalnega razvoja. Prva poglavja osvetljujejo celotno Resolucijo, sledijo pa poglavja, ki iz različnih zornih kotov obravnavajo njene posamezne projekte. Drugi del knjige je namenjen različnim vidikom skladnega regionalnega razvoja, predvsem vlogi znanja v regionalnem razvoju in pomenu naravnih dejavnikov pri regionalnem planiranju.
V knjigi je sedemnajst poglavij s področja naravnih nesreč. V poglavjih so opisana raziskovalna spoznanja ter primeri uporabe sodobnih tehnologij v primeru naravnih nesreč, s poudarkom na naravnih nesrečah v urbanem okolju. Knjiga vsebuje različne teme, kot so na primer potresi, poplave, snežni in zemeljski plazovi, vročinski valovi, mestni toplotni otok ter spletne aplikacije. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The volume (‘Sustainable Urban Development and Natural Disasters’) contains seventeen chapters dealing with natural disasters. The chapters describe research findings and examples of the use of modern technologies in cases of natural disasters, with the focus on natural disasters in urban areas. The volume covers various topics such as earthquakes, floods, avalanches, landslides, heat waves, urban heat island, and web applications.
Monografija, deseta po vrsti, v 34 znanstvenih in strokovnih prispevkih predstavlja presek trenutnega stanja uporabe geografskih informacijskih sistemov (GIS) v Sloveniji. GIS-i nudijo odlično priložnost za interdisciplinarno sodelovanje. Tako se znanje posamezne vede bogati z dognanji sorodnih ved, kar omogoča nadaljnji razvoj posameznih strok ter sinergijske učinke v iskanju rešitev za porajajoče se probleme. V desetih knjigah Geografski informacijski sistemi v Sloveniji je bilo skupaj objavljenih 294 prispevkov na skoraj tritisoč straneh.
