A cultural landscape is simultaneously a complex phenomenon and a process~it is a medium and a result of human activities and perception. This monograph is based on a postmodern view of the landscape ...and it understands the landscape not only as a physical phenomenon, but especially as a social and cultural document. Reading this document discloses the layers of meaning and processes that comprise it. This study examines the understanding and perception of the spatial effects from the history of Slovenian Istria in the twentieth century. It does not deal with direct changes in cultural landscape features, but rather with people’s relationship to them, and so social representation theory is used to represent landscape as a complex phenomenon. The focus is on representations of the landscape and history, such as their appearance in various literary, professional, and scholarly texts. Any literature can be a source for scholarly study and can enable the creation of new geographical knowledge and awareness.
The book deals with erosion processes in the Slovenian part of Istrian peninsula. In the introductory chapters the fluvial-denudation relief in Slovenia, erosion processes, and their influential ...factors, as well as the extent of erosion processes in Slovenia and Slovene Istria are presented. The largest section of the book is devoted to the presentation of measurements of erosion processes in the Dragonja river basin. Measurements included soil erosion measurements (interrill erosion on three different land uses, rill erosion and wind erosion), measurements of rockwall retreat and movements of debris through an erosion gully, as well as chemical denudation in the river basin.
Tijekom Prvoga svjetskog rata zbog suše a i prekida prometa i otežanog snabdjevanja zavladala je na jugu Austro-Ugarske monarhije velika glad. Ljudi su počeli masovno umirati i zagrebački Središnji ...odbor za zbrinjavanje porodica mobiliziranih i u ratu poginulih vojnika počeo je veliku humanitarnu akciju preseljavanja djece iz Istre na sjever Hrvatske. Onda su ovu akciju prihvatili franjevci kao spas za hercegovačku katoličku djecu. Bio je to spas i dalmatinsku i bosansku i slovensku djecu iz Gorice i Slovenskog primorja, pa je akcija rukovođena iz Zagreba od dr. Josipa Šilovića i dr. Đure Basaričeka postala masovna i na prehranu u sjevernu Hrvatsku je dopremljeno više od 20.000 djece a i broj djece u Podravini možemo približno procijeniti na tisuću djece. Taj broj nije posve točan, jer su evidencije iz vremena rata fragmentarne, a popis načinjen 1920. zanemaruje onu djecu koja su se već vratila kućama. Treba reći da je ova akcija bila izvanredno značajna jer je ublažavala vjerske netrpeljivosti i upućivala da se slogom mogu riješiti mnogi problemi, ali ta činjenica nažalost nije iskorištena poslije rata.
