Člani Oddelka za geografijo od leta 2013 delujemo v okviru Evropskega projekta vseživljenjskega izobraževanja Šola na oblaku (School on the Coud - SoC, št. projekta 543221-LLP-1-2013-1-GR-KA3-KA3NW), ...ki se bo zaključil v letu 2017. V projektu se zavzemamo za uvajanje računalništva v oblaku in drugih sodobnih poti na vseh ravneh izobraževanja. Računalništvo v oblaku je namreč dodobra spremenilo naš celoten način življenja in dela. Z njegovo pomočjo imamo dostop do digitalnih podatkov (slike, glasba, besedila, prostorski podatki itd.) kjer koli in kadar koli, kjer imamo dostop do svetovnega spleta.
The paper presents an assessment of urban heat island (UHI) impact on air temperature trends inLjubljana. The assessments are based on the comparison between thV prispevku je ocenjen vpliv mestnega ...toplotnega otoka (MTO) na trende segrevanja ozračja v Ljubljani. Ocene temeljijo na primerjavi dolgoročnih trendov temperature zraka v Ljubljani in Zagrebu. Meteorološka postaja Zagreb-Grič deluje od ustanovitve leta 1862 ves čas na griču v središču mesta, medtem ko se je ljubljanska postaja večkrat selila. Analizirani učinek MTO na trende temperature zraka v Ljubljani se je postopoma povečeval, zlasti po letu 1950e long-term air temperature trends inLjubljanaandZagreb. Meteorological station Zagreb-Grič operated on the hill in the city centre since its establishment in 1862, while theLjubljanastation changed its location several times. The analysed UHI effect on the measurements of air temperature inLjubljanagradually increased, especially after 1950.
Prispevek prinaša rezultate analize spreminjanja števila prebivalstva in sočasnega prostorskega razvoja naselij južnega dela Ljubljanske urbane regije, ki smo ga opredelili kot območje občin ...Borovnica, Brezovica, Log-Dragomer, Ig in Škofljica. To območje vključuje ožje suburbanizirano obmestje, širše obmestje in podeželska naselja. Želeli smo ugotoviti, ali se dinamika spreminjanja števila prebivalstva in prostorski razvoj naselij razlikujeta. Zanimalo nas je tudi, ali je v primerjavi z obdobjem pred letom 2002 prišlo do pomembnejših sprememb v gibanju in težnjah spreminjanja števila prebivalstva.
Decentralization and the inclination towards a balanced regional development bring about a redistribution of cities’ functions: certain responsibilities are transferred from centres at higher ...hierarchy levels to regional centres (mostly medium-sized cities). In this context, the authors have analysed the importance of medium-sized cities in the settlement network and discussed the issue of their identification within the national urban system. The purpose of this study is to establish a method for the identification of the set of medium-sized cities within the network of urban settlements, with particular reference to Central Serbia. The authors also compare the method with the one used in Slovenia in order to demonstrate that the phrase "medium-sized city" may have different meanings depending on the context in which it is defined. Along with the demographic size as the most important indicator in defining medium-sized cities, economic, social, functional, infrastructural and institutional criteria have also been taken into consideration.
Mountain trail categorisation remains an important piece of information for hikers when selecting a trail and preparing for a hike, despite new developments in trail difficulty assessment and trail ...recommendation systems and tools. National or regional trail categorisations should maintain a simple, mainly descriptive form to remain a useful guide for the majority of hikers. However, they are often still based on subjective expert assessments of trail difficulty. In this paper, we combine findings from our own empirical research and from the literature to support two arguments: available or obtainable geographical information and GIS -based methods can contribute to the objectivity of mountain trail categorisation, and improved categorisation contributes to increased hiking safety. An experimental GIS-based categorisation of mountain trails in two areas in Slovenia is conducted to support the above arguments. The comparison of the experimental categorisation with the existing official categorisation and the identification of potentially dangerous trail sections support perhaps the most important of the two arguments, namely the potential to improve hiking safety. However, it also stimulates further discussion on the establishment and implementation of an international standard-isation of trail categorisation.
