Introduction Geographical names play an important role in a life of an individual and society in general. For a better perception of the landscape, easier movement, and common understanding, man had to develop an effective system of orientation. Within this system occur geographical names that most frequently arose from »defining a place after a name and a name after a place« (Tuma, 1925). The need to provide names was propelled by human activity, whether settlement, land use, or exploration. By providing names, man conceptualized the landscape and brought it closer to himself; it became his living space. A native of a place chose names for most of the things that surrounded him—perhaps a shepherd or farmer who was »a precise, very astute observer of nature, gifted with a subtle sense for expressing in words the various forms and variegations of the surface blanket of our world« (Badjura, 1953). Geographical names emerge all the time, but there are many geographical names—particularly the names of waters, mountains, and locations—that are very old and have been preserved for a long time. Because of their very widespread use and unbroken presence for centuries or even millennia, geographical names are anchored in our consciousness as an equal component part of a landscape. With long-term use, some geographical names have lost their original objective meaning and their subjective and word-forming iden- tity. If, however, they have preserved these qualities, they can be one of the foundations of modern geo- graphical science since they carry information about the state and use of a place at the time of their for- mation and because of their role as faithful companions to the process of transformation from the orig- inal appearance of the landscape to today's cultural landscape. Such preserved names still in use today have the status of historical and cultural monuments and are an important part of the national cultural heritage. It is not difficult to imagine that every name was once a word with a universally accepted meaning. Today, geographical names are the part of the proper-name terminology that comprises half of an individu- al's vocabulary (Bezlaj, 1967). From the linguistic point of view, geographical names have a great num- ber of properties and forms: orthographic, phonetic, accentual, morphological, word-forming, and syn- tactical. Their widespread everyday use in spoken or written form and in numerous means of private and public communication dictates thoughtful treatment by linguists and concern for correct usage by every individual. Maps are among the most recognized means for conveying geographical names. By inscribing a geo- graphical name on a map, we present geographical and linguistic characteristics in one place. When showing an objective view of a landscape and the geographical names in it, maps carry even greater weight and responsibility. Due to technical limitations and other reasons, maps do not contain all the geographical names that occur in a landscape. Numerous geographical names have been preserved in various written and other sources, but there are other names that live only in the oral tradition. Such names—especially the names of small landscape elements—can only be collected through field- work. The study of geographical names has many dimensions, from the purely practical considerations that appear in fieldwork such as orientation and the everyday use and pronunciation of names to the scientific and professional level where problems arise involving the accurate and uniform transcription of names, their exact locations, and the search for the original meanings of names. Geographical names are the result of the development of landscape and the development of the language. It is possible to achieve a consistent and correct use of geographical names by collecting, researching, and standardizing their use. All these procedures require the cooperation of various professions (lin- guists, historians, cartographers, geodesists, and geographers), and an interdisciplinary approach is both a precondition and the only possibility for dealing with geographical names qualitatively and success- fully. 163 Geografski zbornik XXXVIII Samo Black 163 SYNCOMP Geografski zbornik, XXXVIII (1998) 1.1. Geography and Geographical Names Geography is the science that deals with research of the earth's surface. Geographical names are a com- ponent part of the landscape. The research efforts of geographers are directed at determining their dis- tribution and location, accurate and systematic identification according to geographical elements, and classification into types of geographical names. Geographical names pertain to a specifically determined geographical element of the landscape that they thus determine and explain in more detail. The site of a geographical name denotes both a location in a coordinate system and information about altitude. Geographical names are therefore an important means for more accurate orientation since in the field they facilitate the determining of location and the iden- tification individual geographical features and their recognition in a series of features of the same type. Along with this basic task of facilitating orientation in the landscape, names gradually became the means for conveying other varied information about it. Here it is possible to speak of etymological messages, most frequently with geographical and historical themes (for example, the place name Ponikva points to a karstic geomorphological form or hydrological feature, the place name Predmeja points to a location close to a border), or names that provoke associations (for example, Ljubljana as the capital city of Slovenia). More than in the latter, however, the geographer is interested in the link between a geographical name and the landscape, with those features that in many cases gave the object or place its name. Due to the time dimension, such research can tell us much about the former appearance and land use of a certain part of the landscape and about its development. In some places, this connection is quite clear, but in most cases it is somewhat obscure. Contemporary research therefore runs in the opposite direction since we derive the features of the landscape from the geographical name. An example of such research is the typ- ification of geographical names or their classification according to geographical content. We need pre- cise definitions and criteria for systematic distinction and classification. In this type of professional work, we constantly encounter questions of terminology. The solution of such problems is the foundation of every profession, for with the unclear and loose definition of terms comes chaos and misunderstanding in the professional language. Knowledge of geographical names, especially those with universal mean- ings, can contribute greatly to achieving order and clarity in geographical terminology. Despite its universality, geography also has a national character in every country. The nationality of geog- raphy gives it an important role in preserving values that are linked to national existence in a certain space and respect for the cultural and linguistic characteristics of minorities. Here belongs also concern for the correct use of geographical names in all media that present a landscape. In practical terms, this means that we geographers must deal with geographical names with special care and prudence.

The glacial landforms mentioned by the previous re- searchers and other landforms in the area were examined, gemorphologically mapped, morphographically and morphometrically analysed and a new map of the extent of the LGM was produced. The research revealed several glaciers in the area and that their sizes differed, primarily depending on the slope inclination direction. Key words: Kamnik-Savinja Alps, the Last Glacial Maximum, Pleistocene glaciation, glacial geomorphology, geomorphology, Slovenia SLEDOVI ZADNJEGA VIŠKA PLEISTOCENSKE POLEDENITVE V VZHODNIH KAMNIŠKO-SAVINJSKIH ALPAH Izvleček Območje vzhodnih Kamniško-Savinjskih Alp je bilo poledenelo v času zadnjega viška pleistocenske poledenitve.

  • Method for Determination of the Mountain Peaks
    12th AGILE International Conference on Geographic Information Science 2009 page 1 of 8 Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany Method for Determination of the Mountain Peaks Tomaž Podobnikar1, 2 1Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy for Sciences and Arts, Novi trg 2, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia 2Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Vienna University of Technology, Gußhausstr. 27-29, A-1040 Vienna, Austria ABSTRACT The key issue is to propose and develop the automated method for points of regional peaks detection applying spatial analysis on digital terrain model (DTM). Detection of the peaks bases on measurements of relative heights and distances between the peaks with support of potential surfaces fulfilling topographic (and some morphologic) criteria. The quality of the results has been proved visually, with the reference lists of peaks, and with triangulated spot heights. The advantage of the proposed automated approaches is higher comparability, objectivity and reliability of the results. Keywords: peaks, DTM, spatial analysis, morphometry, GIS INTRODUCTION There are a few important aims of this study starting with detecting of the points of peaks. The results are intended to generate automatically by spatial analysis on a high quality digital terrain model (DTM) and by utilizing reference data sets for a quality control. The paper is intending to show strength, reliability and robustness of the proposed automated method developed with considering some selected standardized definitions of peaks that have been used only in analogue way until now. Three types of peaks are defined and introduced: local, regional and global. Regional and partly global peaks determination and analysis is focus of this study.
