From urban geodiversity to geoheritage: the case of Ljubljana (Slovenia). Quaestiones Geographicae 36(3), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 37–50. 7 figs, 1 table. aBsTracT: The city of Ljubljana lies at the intersection of various geomorphological regions that have strongly influ- enced its spatial organization. Prehistoric settlements were built on marshland, a Roman town was built on the first river terrace of the Ljubljanica River, and in the Middle Ages a town was built in a strategic position between the Lju- bljanica River and Castle Hill. The modern city absorbed all usable space between the nearby hills. This paper reviews some relief features in Ljubljana, their influence on the city’s spatial development, and urban geoheritage. The results indicate new possibilities for urban geoheritage tourism in the Slovenian capital and its surroundings. Key words: geoheritage, geomorphology, urbanization, spatial growth, Ljubljana Corresponding author: Jure Tičar, [email protected] Introduction connecting the diversity of geomorphological and geological elements with their interpretation During the 1990s, geologists and geomorphol- and recreation (Necheş 2016).

In this space tourism is based on the values of the natural triad, air– water-land,so most tourists use their time for various recreational,sports,health and other activities in and around the lake water. To confirm hypothesis we are using multiple research methods.Research starts with a descriptive method,continue with the evolutive and ends up with empirical method. In addition we use statistical, cartographic and other methods. According to the data from our research the lake and the settlement develop cyclically together with tourism.From the research we established a cycle which in the period of its maximum development is interrupted,and which soon begins to stabilize and rejuvenates with real indicatiors of tourism growth.

Immediate action is sorely needed. The new European Foundation SAVE (Safeguard for Agricultural Varieties in Europe), an umbrella organization for the in-situ conservation of agricultural genetic resources, has started an international rescue project. The remaining pigs are listed and will be regrouped for a mating program, which avoids inbreeding. For an additional insurance, SAVE will also bring new breeding groups away from the front lines in, and outside of, Croatia. A breeding register has been set up provisionally at the herdbook office for endangered breeds with Pro Specie Rara in St.Gallen, Switzerland.

    SAVE Workshop “Rare and Missing Breeds of the Balkan” "Indigenous breeds of the crossborder area of West Stara Planina Mountain" Dr vet. med. Sergej Ivanov, Site Coordinator of the Regional Environmental Center for Central and Eastern Europe, Country Office Serbia and Montenegro, Project “Promotion of Networks and Exchanges in the Countries of South Eastern Europe” Wets Stara Planina Mountain Site; President of the Management Board of “Natura Balkanika” Nature Society In 2001, REC initiated the project “Promotion of Networks and Exchanges Between the Countries of South Eastern Europe”. It is set in the framework of the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe and part of the “Regional Environmental Reconstruction Program”. Part of this project is being conducted in the area of West Stara Planina Mountain with objective to support and implement activities leading to effective cross-border management of natural resources, and to empower local stakeholders to improve their well-being through support and promotion of environmentally friendly tourism, agriculture and traditional crafts. In the region of WSP, the government of the Republic of Serbia during 1997 passed the regulation of the protection of the Nature Park “Stara Planina”, which occupies 1422.20 km2. There is a proosal to recognize WSP mountain as an UNESCO MAB reserve. In 1996 the Ministries of Bulgaria and Serbia signed a memorandum for creation of transboundary “Peace Park”. In march 2003, as a result of biodiversity studies on REC project, a proposal for the designation of the Nature Park in Bulgaria was submitted to the Bulgarian Ministry of Environment and Waters and the procedure has started.

  • Ptica Godine U Hrvatskoj 2016. Godine 2016
    BREGUNICA (Riparia riparia) Factsheet Ptica godine u Hrvatskoj 2016. godine 2016 Veličine od oko 12 cm i težine samo 14 grama, bregunica (Riparia riparia) je najmanja europska lastavica. Vrlo je društvena vrsta, koja gnijezdi u kolonijama, obično u prirodnim, okomitim, pjeskovitim obalama nizinskih rijeka. Bregunica je ambasador živih i zdravih rijeka i gnijezdi u staništima poput prirodnih strmih zemljanih i pjeskovitih obala. Na rijeci Dravi još uvijek živi oko 50% hrvatske populacije bregunica, međutim broj parova se u posljednjih 30 godina smanjio za 90%. Naime, bregunica i druge vrste dravskih ptica pod velikim su pritiskom zbog nestanka staništa, u prvom redu zbog izgradnje obaloutvrda i hidroelektrana koje mijenjaju prirodnu dinamiku rijeke i onemogućuju stvaranje prirodno strmih obala. Pored očuvanja postojećih kolonija, potrebno je obnoviti i dosad uništena staništa, a potrebno je i zaustaviti regulacije te korištenje pesticida duž Bregunica je najmanja riječnog koridora rijeke Drave, koji ubijaju kukce, njihov glavni izvor lastavica u Europi. hrane. Stoga je WWF, zajedno s brojnim udrugama, proglasio 2016. Dužina: 12 cm godinom bregunice, kako bi skrenuo pozornost javnosti na potrebu Raspon krila: 26 - 29 cm očuvanja ove iznimne vrste i njenih staništa. Stanište Gnijezdi se u strmim obalama rijeka, rjeđe u iskopima šljunka i pijeska. Kada se bregunice u travnju vraćaju iz Afrike, počinju kopati oko 70 cm duboke rupe u strmim obalama rijeka. U Hrvatskoj su najbrojnije kolonije na rijeci Dravi (najveću koloniju, koja je u Jelkušu, dijelimo s Mađarskom). Gnijezdi još na rijekama Muri, Savi i Dunavu. Rasprostranjenost Bregunica je rasprostranjena na području čitave Europe, sve do krajnjeg sjevera. Rasprostranjena je i na širem području Azije te Sjeverne Amerike.
