Terraced Landscapes
Terraced landscapes with agricultural terraces are cultural landscapes with a special value. They provide food and also have priceless scientific, cultural, historical. ecological, aesthetic, and even psychological, philosophical, and religious value. They form a unique agricultural and ecological system that can be found throughout the world. In some developed civilizations they were created in an organized manner over millennia, and in others they arose completely spontaneously as people adapted to natural conditions and improved their opportunities to make a living. They therefore reflect a harmony between man and nature, and in many cases also between people themselves. This volume prese...
The Good Practices Catalogue of Participatory Urban Agriculture
Katalog dobrih praks participativnega urbanega kmetijstva naslavlja nekaj glavnih izzivov občin, regij in držav v Podonavju, povezanih z upadom zmogljivosti javnih organov za uporabo participativnega pristopa v načrtovanju. Predstavljene so konkretne izkušnje z razvijanjem participativnega urbanega kmetijstva, ki so vplivale na izboljšanje javnih storitev, spodbujale aktivnejše državljanstvo, krepile sodelovanje javnosti in prispevale k trajnostnemu razvoju mest. Knjižica prinaša konceptualni premislek o urbanem kmetijstvu in njegovo sistematizacijo; analizo političnega okvira, ki podpira participativno urbano kmetijstvo v Podonavju; pregled evropskih programov in projektov, ki razvijajo urbano kmetijstvo in se posvečajo enakim ciljem kot projekt AgriGo4Cities; in predstavitev izbranih dobrih praks participativnega urbanega kmetijstva, katerih namen je predstaviti možne pristope k vzpostavljanju uspešnih participativnih vrtov. Katalog naslavlja raziskovalce, odločevalce in civilno družbo, ki jih zanimajo urbano kmetijstvo, participativno načrtovanje, družbeno vključevanje in trajnostni razvoj.
Places of Memory and Legacies in an Age of Insecurities and Globalization
In this book, practitioners and students discover perspectives on landscape, place, heritage, memory, emotions and geopolitics intertwined in evolving citizenship and democratization debates. This volume shows how memorialization can contribute to wider inclusive interpretations of history, tourism and human rights promoted by the European Project. It's geographies of memories can foster cooperation as witnessed throughout Europe during the 2014-18 WWI commemorations. Due to new world orders, geopolitical reconfigurations and ideals that emerged after 1918, many countries ranging from the Baltic and Russia to the Balkans, Turkey and Greece, eastern and central Europe to Ireland are continuin...
Participatory Research and Planning in Practice
This open access book provides in-depth insights into participatory research and planning by presenting practical examples of its use. In particular, it describes theoretical and methodological aspects of participatory research and planning, as well as the implementation of participatory processes in fields such as transport planning, cultural heritage management, environmental planning and post-earthquake recovery. Further, it compares participatory planning experiences from different territorial levels – from the macro-regional, e.g. Southeastern Europe, Mediterranean or European metropolitan regions, to national, regional and local levels. The book will help researchers, planners, public administration officials, decision-makers and the general public to understand the advantages, disadvantages and constraints of participatory planning and research. Using various examples, it will guide readers through the theory of participatory planning and research, its methods, and different perspectives on how to use it in practice.
The Geography of Slovenia
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.
Gender Violence & Human Rights
The postcolonial states of Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu operate today in a global arena in which human rights are widely accepted. As ratifiers of UN treaties such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, these Pacific Island countries have committed to promoting women’s and girls’ rights, including the right to a life free of violence. Yet local, national and regional gender values are not always consistent with the principles of gender equality and women’s rights that undergird these globalising conventions. This volume critically interrogates the relation between gender violence and human r...
Slovenija VII
V sedmem zvezku vodnikov po Sloveniji je predstavljenih šest ekskurzij Ljubljanskega geografskega društva, izvedenih med septembrom 2012 in novembrom 2014, dodana je še ekskurzija Geomorfološkega društva Slovenije iz marca 2012. Vsaka ekskurzija je tematsko posebna, tako da se medsebojno dopolnjujejo v raznolik kolaž, ki dokazuje, kako široko je geografsko obzorje. Prva nas popelje na Banjšice in v Čepovanski dol, druga nas seznani z raznovrstnimi pokrajinskimi, zgodovinskimi in umetnostnimi prvinami Selške doline in njenega hribovitega obrobja, tretja nas vodi na vzhod države, v Obsotelje in Kozjansko, četrta po Dravinjski dolini in tamkajšnjih učnih poligonih, na peti se podrobneje seznanjamo z našo najbolj razvojno zaostalo pokrajino Goričkim, predzadnja, šesta, je namenjena predvsem sprehodu skozi polpreteklo zgodovino orožja v Parku vojaške zgodovine v Pivki, zadnja pa nas podrobno seznanja z manj znanimi kraškimi pojavi na flišu in meritvami erozije v flišni slovenski Sivi Istri.
Terasirane pokrajine
Terasirane pokrajine, sestavljene iz kmetijskih teras, so kulturne pokrajine s posebno vrednostjo. Ponekod so v razvitih civilizacijah organizirano nastajale skozi tisočletja, drugje pa povsem spontano, ko se je človek prilagajal naravnim razmeram in izboljševal svoje možnosti za preživetje. Zato se v njih zrcali sožitje med človekom in naravo, marsikje pa tudi med ljudmi. Knjiga jih v sliki in besedi predstavlja v vsej njihovi pestrosti in privlačnosti. Najprej so izpostavljene svetovne in evropske razsežnosti terasiranih pokrajin in njihovih kmetijskih teras, največ prostora pa namenja slovenskim terasiranim pokrajinam, in sicer ločeno po pokrajinskih tipih, po posameznih pokrajinah in po vzorčnih primerih, ki obsegajo območja izbranih naselij. V sklepnem delu opozarja tudi na izjemnost in privlačnost nekmetijskih terasiranih pokrajin, ki sta jih oblikovala narava in človek. Besedila in fotografije dopolnjujejo grafikoni, v katerih so predstavljene temeljne značilnosti izključno terasiranih zemljišč, ugotovljene na podlagi analiz z orodji geografskih informacijskih sistemov.
Trust Territory Reports
Contains the opinions of general interest of the High Court of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands from its inception under that name in 1952, the one opinion rendered by the Court of Appeals, which was the predecessor of the Appellate Division of the High Court and opinions rendered by the former District Court, which preceded the Trial Division of the High Court (varies).
Slovenija IX
V publikaciji so objavljene ekskurzije Ljubljanskega geografskega društva, izvedene med aprilom 2015 in majem 2019. Če posamezne prispevke skušamo razčleniti po njihovih poglavitnih značilnostih, lahko izpostavimo nekaj zanimivih spoznanj. Naj najprej izpostavimo njihovo osredotočenost v zahodnem delu Slovenije. Kot območje izrazite regionalne prevlade izstopa jugozahodna Slovenija, pri čemer so udeleženci kar dveh ekskurzij s pridom izkoristili na široko razprto državno mejo z Italijo, nastalo z vstopom Slovenije v šengensko območje. Zaznavna je tudi raznovrstnost ekskurzij glede na način izvedbe. Klasične avtobusne prevoze praviloma popestri pešačenje. Povsem drugačna logistika je bila potrebna za izvedbo kolesarske ekskurzije po slovenskem in italijanskem Krasu. Nadaljuje se težnja, da geografska spoznanja v vse večji meri dopolnjujejo vsebine drugih disciplin, predvsem arheologije in etnologije, kar ekskurzije zagotovo bogati tako zaradi drugačnega videnja pokrajine kot poudarkov, ki jih geografi na svojih poteh navadno prezremo ali o njih ne vemo prav veliko.
