Razprava obravnava položaj turističnega gospodarstva ter opredeli turistični obisk v slovenski (Kraško-obalna regija) in hrvaški Istri (Istrska županija) oziroma turističnih središčih med letoma 1985 in 1999. Ugotavlja regionalno diferencirano stopnjo upada turističnega obiska po razpadu SFR Jugoslavije. Podrobneje bo analizirala obdobje revitalizacije turizma, prednostno v drugi polovici devetdesetih let in makroekonomske ukrepe ter geopolitične dejavnike,ki so oblikovali ponudbo in vplivali na turistični obisk. Razprava poskuša ugotoviti katera inicialna območja turizma so prag obiska izpred desetletja presegla in katera obstajajo še zadržana do turistične ponudbe v Istri. Obe receptivni območji turizma, na Hrvaškem in Sloveniji, kot tudi vodilna turistična središča so obravnavana ločeno in primerjalno. Prikazana je stopnja napredka in razložena regionalna diferenciacija v stremljenjih po doseganju turističnega obiska izpred desetih let. Prispevek povzema mnenja iz ankete o učinki...

Slovenia is characterized by diverse landscapes on a relatively small geographic area. The natural diversity is enhanced by human modifications, in particular, rural land use and colonization. The heterogeneity of the landscape and diversity of the country provide an abundance of opportunities for recreational use and tourism. The beginnings of the modern tourism development can be traced back to the 1960s and 1970s, when Slovenia was a part of Yugoslavia. Following the announcement of independence in 1991 and general disintegration of the federal state of Yugoslavia, the number of foreign visitors was drastically reduced. In the beginning of the third millennium, Slovenia has experienced an above-average rate of tourism growth. Simultaneously, important differences between various tourism markets can be observed. Slovenia as a tourist destination is becoming less dependent on domestic tourists and neighboring countries as the share of tourists from more distant countries is increasing. Nonetheless, in most Slovenian municipalities, domestic tourists prevail. Tourists are attracted predominantly by country’s natural features. Because of its picturesque, heterogeneous landscape, relatively well-preserved environment and favorable location in relation to its main tourism markets, Slovenia will likely remain a popular tourist destination. Nonetheless, the country is, in the European context, only a moderately developed destination and tourism in Slovenia is already facing many challenges.

In May 2005 the inauguration of the Baku – Tbilisi – Ceyhan British Petroleum oil pipeline was celebrated. The completed project was the first one of many which should support the energy-hungry Europe. The perception of the projects is viewed differently by the customers and suppliers, in particular Russia. The 2008 Russia’s invasion into Georgia is perceived by some experts as show of force to threaten such and similar projects not in accordance with plans of this energy giant. The South Stream is Russia’s own gas pipeline project (Russia – Bulgaria – Italy/Austria) was initiated as a counterpart to the North Stream (Russia – Germany). The Baltic underwater pipeline is under heavy political pressure from governments of the North. What is unique to the South Stream, the Gazprom’s recent project, is the confidence that the project will be short in execution (2013). As an opposite example to the set timeframe for the EU’s project Nabucco! The EU’s idea was initiated in 2004 and was aimed to deliver natural gas from the Caspian Sea Region and Central Asia via Turkey to Southern Europe. At the 1st Bled Forum in 2006, a Slovenian government and business leaders meeting place (where Russia was missing), the project was highly praised by European politicians and business leaders, but the miscommunication of participating politicians from the Caucasus and the Caspian region showed what a difficult task this could become. Other energy projects, like the LNG terminals in South Central Europe are discussed as well. Ecological problems related to the projects, the gas price issue and political tensions related to the Europe – Turkey and Ukraine – Russia relationships are also discussed. The 2008/2009 winter demonstrated the importance of the energy supply and distribution for Europe.

The 10 year of independence of Slovenia in 2001 is accompanied by a population decline. At first it was the migration which weakened the 1.98 million strong population structure; later, in particular since 1994, the demographics of the state have been affected by the weak birth rate. The decrease of birth rates since Yugoslavia's devolution is a result of the (now) missing influx of the young and socially dynamic population from southern Yugoslavia. Immigration, which exceeded the number of births in the 1980s, has fallen to a total of less than one-tenth. Other impacts like the rise in the number of the older and educated population, the decline of social benefits, and the average income level have had with the exception of several regions lesser impacts on the birth rate. The geographic distribution of the declining birth rates shows an interesting pattern. Consequences are visible in the cultural landscape as social fallow and ghost towns increase. The response of the state is weak on the nation-state level and mostly verbal on the level of regions defined as "demographically threatened".

Zusammenfassung. — Sloweniens Grenzräume haben innerhalb Jugoslawiens eine spezifische Rolle. Die Offnung der Grenzen (in den sechsziger Jahren) hatte die wirtschaftlich starken Gebiete gefestigt, in überwiegend peripheren jedoch Abwanderungen gefördert. Die polyzentrische Entwicklung, als eine Ansdrucksform der in Slowenieneigenartigen regionalen Politik, hatte in den siebziger Jahren zu einer Stabilisierung aller Grenzgebiete geführt. Sie sind nun belebende Akteure der zweistaatlichen Beziehungen aber auch Träger inner jugoslawischer Entwicklung. Es haben sich dadurch drei Typen der Grenzräume gegründet : die durch ihre Intensitàt der grenzüberschreitenden Beziehungen bekannten transnationalen Grenzgebiete, die Grenzräume der inselartigen, besonders an Grenzubergängen lozierten Wirtschaftsballung und die Grenzräume die durch die vorhergegangene Depopulation zum Absterben verurteilt sind.

The development of second homes that are occupied only seasonally or for periods of leisure is not an unusual phenomenon in countries with a socialistic form of government. In 1981 there were 332,800 second homes in Yugoslavia and they represent an important component of the cultural landscape, especially in the Slovenian Alps where the income of inhabitants is five times higher than the national average. Many of these new homes are in the traditional resort areas but holiday homes are also expanding into what were formerly small agricultural villages. This paper outlines some significant results of a statistical study of the distribution of second homes and discusses changes brought about during the last twenty years.

The Adriatic Sea, and its northern part in particular, is a highly illustrative example of the changing political geography of the sea. In the 1990's the changing political map was influenced by the break-up of Yugoslavia.

A major feature of popular guidebooks is their impersonal, objective and systematic approach to providing reliable information and guidance to tourists and travelers. In Europe, visitors from Japan, China, Korea and India in the last decade have become important contributors to several national economies. Many are not familiar with the “Western culture” but are keen to admire its classic, millennia old expressions… Compared to the “classical” tourists, who originate in Europe and the North America, Asian visitors come from completely different cultural and religious backgrounds. Their knowledge of the Greek and Roman heritage and the Christian religion is limited. These differences should be taken into consideration when describing elements of any religious heritage in popular guidebooks. Our research focused on the descriptions of the major cathedrals of Austria (Vienna), Croatia (Zagreb), Hungary (Budapest) and Slovenia (Ljubljana), published in three international guidebooks (Lonely Planet, DK Eyewitness Guides, Rough Guides) for each country. We analyzed whether the publications (12 and 3 for each country) considered including basic information of the Catholic religion and if they provided non-Catholic-centered understandable descriptions of the related works of art. The results demonstrate that religious contents are minimal. In each, the nation-state’s major cathedral is pointed out as one of the prime tourist attractions of the country described. The churches unique artistic features are presented; their works and artistic meanings are placed in the foreground, however, basic information of the religious content of the works is completely missing. Frescoes, statues, paintings and other works of arts are placed in the artistic and societal time frame, but the guidebooks in general fail to provide descriptions of the religious stories presented, such as, for example, the Adoration of the Magi or the Coronation of Mary in the Viennese cathedral.

V petletnem raziskovalnem obdobju pred in po prelomu politične/družbene in teritorialne strukture so njihove poštne uprave natisnile in izdale 1035 priložnostnih poštnih znamk. Temeljna hipoteza tega dela raziskave izhaja iz predpostavke, da se – vzporedno z družbenopolitičnimi spremembami – sporočilnost poštnih znamk spreminja. Raziskava je hipotezo deloma potrdila, saj več kot petina priložnostnih znamk (237 znamk ali 23 %) posreduje politične ali domoljubne vsebine, ki po številu sledijo sporočilom, tesno povezanim z nacionalno kulturo in znanostjo (31 %). Čeprav se novonastale države z izrazji na znamkah (motiv, pisava, valuta) zamejujejo v lasten kulturni krog, pa je iz nekaterih izdaj poštnih znamk mogoče razbrati željo po (ponovni) vključitvi v večnac...

Podobe, besedila in valuta na poštnih znamkah predstavljajo ter promovirajo državo. Politična oziroma ideološka usmeritev države in kulturno izrazje naroda so tako v vizualni kot verbalni obliki odtis nekega časa. V prispevku smo preverjali izrazja (podobo in besedilo) na 841. poštnih znamkah, ki so bile izdane v dveh obdobjih, 1987–1991 v Jugoslaviji ter 1991–1995 v Sloveniji in na Hrvaškem. Priložnostne poštne znamke (535 znamk) smo razvrstili v pet tematskih skupin. Le-te v 315. primerih (59%) obravnavajo politično oziroma nacionalno pomembne vsebine. Pred razpadom Jugoslavije so poštne znamke poveličevale odpor proti okupatorju, socializem in uspešno mednarodno delovanje države. Prvi motivi na poštnih znamkah Slovenije in Hrvaške pa prikazujejo pomembne zgodovinske osebnosti in dogodke, predvsem iz obdobja narodnega prebujanja v 19. stoletju. // Expressions of postage stamps in times of political and social transition on the territory of former Yugoslavia – part 1 Images, text a...

V geografiji je razlaga in opis prostorske stvarnosti v 20. stoletju doživljala različne raziskovalne pristope in opredelitve. Okroglo stoletnico praznuje socialnogeografsko nazorsko dojemanje procesov v kulturni pokrajini. V drugi polovici stoletja se je v okviru družbene oziroma kulturne geografije tudi v Sloveniji/Jugoslaviji pričelo uveljavljati prepričanje, da ima pri izgledu in funkciji določene pokrajine najbolj pomembno vlogo družba oziroma človek z njemu lastnimi interesi. Pot k takemu prepričanju so tlakovale osebnosti v Evropi in Severni Ameriki. Tovrstno teorijo in raziskovalno metodologijo so nekateri slovenski geografi, po avstrijsko-nemškem vzoru, vneto zagovarjali, drugi pa – predvsem zaradi skoraj izključnega zanikanja naravnogeografskih dejavnikov – nasprotovali.

Ahead of the fall of the Iron Curtain, the Northern Adriatic, the area then shared by Yugoslavia and Italy, made headlines in European geopolitics and economy. In the post-w w2 era, it sparked conflicts followed by a co-operation between communistic and democratic societies, became the main economic gateway of East Central Europe through the wide inland ports (Trieste, Koper and Rijeka), and became a major Mediterranean tourist destination with numerous resorts. Thus, it is a manufacturing site, transshipment area and playground at the same time. In the second half of the 20th century, tourism growth set new goals for the region. Instead of competition and rivalry, complementarities and natural and cultural protection on regional and nation-state levels are sought. In this paper, the structure and problems of tourism development in selected areas of the Northern Adriatic region, in particular the Istrian Peninsula, driven by market economy forces, will be discussed.

Ponekod so ekološko naravnani programi postali temelj promocije posameznega turističnega središča. Upravljalci - turistični menadžerji in turisti so si enotni, da sta narava in kulturna dediščina pomembni sestavini turistične ekonomije. Degradirano okolje je potrebno sanirati vendar, po mnenju turistov in upravljalcev, ne na njihov račun.

With 46.6 km of the coastline, the Republic of Slovenia is a Mediterranean and European nation-state with the most limited access to the sea. Therefore, the use of it should be of the highest state priority. The core of coastal tourism is located in and around Portorož-Portorose, in the commune of Piran-Pirano. Other parts of the coast have been primarily devoted to other businesses, urban structures and port/communication infrastructures. Intensive tourism is located on close to 9% of the coastline, whereas elsewhere, on almost one third of the Slovenian coastline, tourism activities are a “by-product” of the urban way of life, port facilities and other commercial and non-commercial activities. Different acts of nature/culture-conservation have made several coastline areas -just because of it - attractive, like the “Strunjanski klif” (the highest cliff, made out of the flysh (stone), on the coasts of the Adriatic) and the salt-pans of Sečovlje (“Sečxoveljske soline”).
