This book (‘(Irresponsible responsibility’) features thirteen chapters written by nearly thirty specialists in natural disasters. The chapters deal with various topics ranging from earthquakes, ...landslides, avalanches, and floods (with an emphasis on the extensive floods in September 2010) to protected forests, drought, and education about natural disasters.
This volume presents the importance of natural-disaster education for social preparedness. Increasing damage caused by natural disasters around the globe draws attention to the fact that even ...developed societies must adapt to natural processes. Natural-disaster education is a component part of any education strategy for a sustainably oriented society.
The paper focuses on the interdependence between the development of demographically endangered settlements and the frequency of mountain accidents in the Triglav National Park in the Slovenian Alps. ...Using statistical data analyses of the Mountain Rescue Association of Slovenia, field surveys and spatial information of the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia, conclusions were reached, which redefined the existing settlement pattern of alpine shelters and mountain pastures, to encourage safe mountaineering and the development of tourism. The upgraded network of Alpine posts is designed as an upgrade of the existing system of providing safety for the visitors to the high mountain regions of the Triglav National Park. At the same time, it offers a new format of tourist services as an opportunity to develop local economies in demographically endangered environments. The dual function (rescue services and tourism) reduces investment and maintenance costs and increases the efficiency in the exploitation of the network of paths and Alpine posts, hence it is feasible also in demographically endangered areas. It is one of the operational tools for stopping further decline in population.
V prispevku je predstavljena soodvisnost med razvojem demografsko ogroženih naselij in pogostnostjo nesreč v gorah v Triglavskem narodnem parku v slovenskih Alpah. S pomočjo analiz statističnih podatkov Gorske reševalne zveze Slovenije, ogledov terena in prostorskih podatkov Geodetske uprave Republike Slovenije so bile izpeljane sintezne ugotovitve, ki ponovno definirajo obstoječi poselitveni vzorec gorskih zavetišč in pastirskih planin z namenom spodbujanja razvoja varnega visokogorskega pohodništva in tudi turizma. Dopolnjena mreža planinskih postojank je zasnovana kot nadgradnja obstoječega sistema zagotavljanja varnosti obiskovalcem visokogorja v TNP. Je hkrati nova oblika turističnih storitev kot priložnost za razvoj lokalnih ekonomij v demografsko ogroženih okoljih. Dvojnost funkcije (reševalna služba in turistična ponudba) znižuje investicijske in vzdrževalne stroške ter povečuje učinkovitost izrabe omrežja poti in postojank, zato je izvedljiva tudi v demografsko ogroženih območjih. Je eno izmed operativnih orodij za ustavitev nadaljnjega upadanja prebivalstva.
Slovenia is endangered by floods. Frequent intensive rainfall and heavy rains, a large proportion of mountainous and hilly regions, and numerous populated narrow valley bottoms are the primary ...reasons for this threat. Floods endanger about seventy thousand hectares of lowlands, and torrential flooding endangers a further three thousand hectares. Due to this enormous threat, Slovenia has more than one hundred years of experience in the field of flood prevention, while only more recently has the awareness developed in the European Union that flood prevention is cheaper in the long run than simply dealing with the consequences of floods. This fact is reflected in the increasing number of laws passed to deal with this danger, and for this purpose maps of flood hazard and flood risk are very important and are presented in the book.
The book brings a thorough review of landslide susceptibility in Slovenia. In the introductory chapter the most significant geographical and other Slovenian literature on slope processes is listed, ...and then the basic characteristics of landslides are explained. The landslide susceptibility in Slovenia is presented on the example of twelve large landslides, followed by the chapter on legislation on natural disasters in Slovenia.The most important part of the book is the detailed description of methods for elaboration landslide susceptibility maps with different methods. The deterministic, statistical and probabilistic methods and corresponding maps are described into detail. Such maps have been elaborated with the geographical information system using the digital elevation model 25 x 25 m. Landslide susceptibility is finally presented in the framework of the regionalization of Slovenia that had been elaborated by the Anton Melik Geographical Institute SRC SASA and for all Slovenian municipalities. The last chapter of the book is important for geomorphology, describing the role of the landslides for the formation of relief.The book is intended to be used in spatial planning, physical geography, geography of natural hazards and other branches of geography as well as in related sciences.

The book brings a thorough review of slope processes, their causes and consequences. Both, prehistoric and recent slope processes in Slovenia are described into deatil. Authors investigated the main ...characteristics of slope processes according to the type of movement (flow, slide, fall), their extent and effects. As geographers, they are interested mainly in the links between natural processes and man. More than sixty different slope processes in Slovenia are described into detail, based upon field work and examination of numerous sources. In this way all types of slope processes are included and described.Review of circumstances if followed by a discussion about the importance of slope processes for spatial planning as well as methodological and practical instructions for hazarad maps elaboration with different methods. Two deterministic methods and a one probabilistic are presented.The documentary value of the book is also increased by the fact that it brings a chapter about a memory of inhabitants on slope processes, as it has been preserved in sacred literature and aitiological narratives.The book can be used for thorough studies of physical geography and related sciences. Plentiful documentary material makes it useful for everyone who would like to explore nature in Slovenia.

V najzahodnejši slovenski vasici Robidišče v Breginjskem kotu vztraja sedem ljudi. Od kar je lani neurje ...porušilo most, preko katerega je najkrajša pot do vasice, so skoraj odrezani od sveta. Vse prošnje ostarelih vaščanov, da bi most popravili, so doslej naletele na gluha ušesa. Edina vez s svetom je kolovoz preko Breginja in vasice Logje, ki pa podaljša pot za debelo uro. Zdaj, ko je pot ukleščena v sneg in led, pa je še huje.

In comparison to other disasters, snow avalanches endanger only a small part of surface of Slovenia, but they are problematic mostly because of their spatial and temporal unpredictability. Focusing ...on alpine landscape, the author studies the natural geographical characteristics of snow avalanches.
