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).

  • The Experimental Watersheds in Slovenia
    THE EXPERIMENTAL WATERSHEDS IN SLOVENIA Mojca Šraj, Simon Rusjan, Sašo Petan, Matjaž Mikoš, Andrej Vidmar, Mitja Brilly University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Jamova 2, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia [email protected] Abstract Experimental watersheds are critical to the advancement of hydrological science. By setting up three experimental watersheds, Slovenia also obtained its grounds for further development of the science and discipline. In the Dragonja experimental watershed the studies are focused on the afforestation of the watershed in a mediterranean climate, on the Reka river the water balance in a partly karstic area is examined, and on the case of the Glinščica stream the implications of the urban environment are studied. We have obtained valuable experience and tested new measuring equipment in all three experimental watersheds. Keywords: experimental watershed, measurements, hydrology, afforestation, karstic area, urban area, Slovenia. 1 INTRODUCTION The experimental watersheds of the Dragonja, Reka and Gradaščica with Glinščica rivers are nowdays critical to the advancement of hydrological science, not only in Slovenia, but also on international level. Those watersheds have been equiped with modern measuring equipment for precise measurements of precipitation, intercepted precipitation, discharges, erosion and water quality. Thus contemporary experimental base was established used for scientific research and at the same time provided support to the teaching and studying process. The Dragonja river basin is situated on the border between Slovenia and Croatia. Due to political and social circumstances and poorly managed agriculture in the past, the catchment area has been depopulated in the past decades, leaving the forests to develop in the abandoned agricultural fields.

  • Permanent Mission of the Republic of Croatia to the International
    Permanent Mission of the Republic of Croatia EF.DEL/10/07/Corr.1 to the International Organizations in Vienna 23 January 2007 ENGLISH only Statement made by Mr. Zdravko KRMEK, State Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management (Session IV of the 15th OSCE Economic and Environmental Forum, Vienna, 23 January 2007) Mr. Chairman, in the framework of our today's discussion I would like to stress the importance of a consultation between neighbouring states and at the regional level when combating soil degradation in the aim to avoid social problems linked to sustainable development. The Republic of Croatia, as probably a number of other states who have been part of former federations or composite states, has interesting experience in the field: rivers or river basins of internal nature are now of international character. This requires a number of interstate agreements on integral water management. One of the best examples for good cooperation on the regional level is without any doubt the Framework Agreement in Sava River Basin signed in 2003 by four countries of the Former Yugoslav Federation: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia with the participation of international partners including the Stability Pact and the OSCE. This initiative is today better known as Sava River Initiative and the first experience shows that this is a very good basis for further cooperation between these four countries. With the Republic of Slovenia there is also the Agreement of Integral Water Management, signed in 1997, as well as with Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1996. With the Republic of Montenegro a preparation of such an agreement is in final phase, as well as with the Republic of Serbia.

  • Neolithisation of Sava-Drava-Danube Interfluve at the End of the 6600–6000 BC Period of Rapid Climate Change> a New Solutio
    Documenta Praehistorica XLIII (2016) Neolithisation of Sava-Drava-Danube interfluve at the end of the 6600–6000 BC period of Rapid Climate Change> a new solution to an old problem Katarina Botic´ Institute of Archaeology, Zagreb, CR [email protected] ABSTRACT – The idea of the Neolithisation of the Sava-Drava-Danube interfluve has undergone very little change since S. Dimitrijevi≤'s time. Despite their many shortcomings, new archaeological exca- vations and radiocarbon dates of Early Neolithic sites have provided us with new insight into the process of Neolihisation of this region. Using the recently published work by B. Weninger and L. Clare (Clare, Weninger 2010; Weninger et al. 2009; Weninger et al. 2014) as a starting point, the available radiocarbon and archaeological data are used to build up a time frame comparable to the wider region of Southeast Europe and climate conditions for specific period. The results fit the model of Neolithisation well (Weninger et al. 2014.9, Fig. 4), filling in the geographical gaps. IZVLE∞EK – Premise o neolitizaciji v medre≠ju Save, Drave in Donave se od ≠asa S. Dimitrijevi≤a niso veliko spremenile. Nova arheolo∏ka izkopavanja in radiokarbonski datumi zgodnjega neolitika so, kljub mnogim pomanjkljivostim, prinesli nove vpoglede v proces neolitizacije na tem obmo≠ju. Za os- novo pri interpretaciji smo uporabili nedavno objavljena dela B. Weningerja in L. Clarea (Clare, We- ninger 2010; Weninger et al. 2009; Weninger et al. 2014), dosegljive radiokarbonske datume in arheo- lo∏ke podatke pa smo uporabili za izdelavo ≠asovnega okvirja, ki je primerljiv s ∏ir∏im obmo≠jem ju- govzhodne Evrope in s klimatskimi pogoji za posamezna obdobja.
