This research analyses changes of built-up and related areas in Slovenia in the period 2000-2023. Results are prepared on the level of statistical regions and municipalities. Special emphasis is orientated towards original categories of land use, on which builtup and related areas are located today. Finally, we discuss the expansion of built-up and related areas into arable areas, especially those that are extremely important for agriculture and food production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents changes in land use in the area of the municipality of Cerkvenjak, Slovenia, in the period 2000-2023. Changes in land use are shown as a function of some natural geographical factors (relief, topoclimatic characteristics...). The directions of changes in land use are also analyzed in relation to the process of extensification, i.e. changes of cultivated land to non-cultivated land. The changes in vineyard areas are specially analyzed. We also included in the analysis older georeferenced and digitized data from the Franciscan cadastre for the area of the present municipality of Cerkvenjak from 1824. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyses the changes in land use in the area of the Dravinjske Gorice in the period 2000-2022. Changes in land use are shown depending on the selected natural geographical elements and by cadastral municipalities. The directions of land use change in the considered period and the coefficient of extensification are also analysed. In the past, viticulture was one of the agricultural activities that gave the identity of this region, so for the probe area "Škalce-Bezina-Tepanje" we analysed the changes in the viticulture areas in terms of relative heights, global radiation and viticulture ratings in time profiles 1824-2000-2022.

We can divide the region Ljutomersko-ormoške gorice on Western and Eastern part. Following, are well known by their quality wines, tourism and cultural center Jeruzalem. On the other hand, Western Ljutomersko -- Ormoške gorice are hiding in the shadows of the Eastern part. That's why the process of farm dropping, migration of youth, urbanisation has changed the area of Western Ljutomersko - Ormoških goric, even more. With this kind of movement in the area, Land use has changed a lot. The number of overgrow lands, forest lands, green lands and none arable areas has increased. This kind of land use, can follow to physical geographic changes of areas, as well as to culture changes of areas. The biggest problem of changes in land use are unsensibly use of land. Mostly by overlaying of none arable areas with arable areas, where there are good farming areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we analyse land-use change in the municipality of Juršinci. In the first part of the article we discuss the changes in land use in relation to some natural-geographical characteristics in the period 2000-2021. We also discuss the most frequent directions of land use change. In the second part of the paper, we look at the changes in vineyard areas. In this context, we compared the extent of vineyard area in 1824 with the current situation. We also analyse the utilisation of quality vineyard areas in the past and today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper showed land use changes in the Pomurje statistical region in the period 2000-2020. Changes are analysed in 11 categories of land use at the level of the whole region and at the level of municipalities. The directions of land use change are also analysed. Changes in arable land are shown using the extensification coefficient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Given the importance of self-sufficiency on the one hand, and caring for natural resources such as soil and water on the other, it is increasingly important to know how soils are adapted to climate change from an ecosystem perspective. This means according to their properties, which significantly affect the ability to retain water, the presence of organic matter, denudation and erosion, and the ability to self-regenerate. Such properties are thickness, texture, organic matter, consistency and skeleton. As there are no quantitative data for all soils, we prepared an evaluation method based on their theoretical descriptions (from previous research) and classified them into unadapted, partially adapted and well adapted to climate change. In Prekmurje, unadapted and partially adapted soils to climate change predominate, which is a warning for land use planning in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents trends in transformation of land use in areas of great flood hazard in Slovenia between years 2000 and 2016. Focuse is mainly on probe areas Dolinsko, Krško-Brežice Field and Ljubljana Marshes. We analysed the land use in probe areas and in seven Slovenian municipalities with the largest combined surface of areas of great flood hazard for both years of this study. Our focuse was mainly on inappropriate land use in the areas of great flood hazard in Slovenia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the spread of globalization and the post-war economic growth, the mountain villages in Japan are experiencing dramatic changes. The process started by abandoning the traditional activities of mountain villages such as sericulture and forestry. From the beginning of the fifties of the last century it was further accelerated with growingly aging population and large-scale afforestation. Today, many mountain villages in Japan are pushed to the periphery of metropolitan areas. As a consequence, they do not have a proper functional economic base, and therefore, the traditional social and economic system is in a process of collapse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The content of following the work analyses chosen physical-geographical indicators in Pomurje Statistical Region, which have proven to be great potentials for agriculture. Chosen indicators include functional inclination, exposition, pedological units, floor number and analysis of strategically important areas for cultivation and agriculture. The trends of exploitation of these potentials are demonstrated with observations of land use changes in the period between 2000 and 2017. The latter show occurring process of extensification, where lands in overgrowth, forests and build-up lands are expanding due to reduction of fields with gardens and vineyards. Most of these unfavourable processes occur in areas with most favourable condition for cultivation. This reflects negative trends and deviates from national paradigm in food selfsufficiency.

Eastern Ljutomersko-Ormoške gorice are among the most vital vineyard areas of Northeastern Slovenia. Nevertheless, the region has not been spared from the processes of deagrarization and subsequent land use changes which are going in the direction of the abandonment of cultivated areas, greening, overgrowth and afforestation. The article analyses land use changes in the area of Eastern Ljutomersko-Ormoške gorice between 2000 and 2015 in relation to selected physiographic features. Main focus was on cultivated areas, particularly vineyard areas. The directions of land use changes for the studied period are also analysed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article treats natural characteristics of Pohorske Planje area and the changes in cultural landscape because of land use. The natural characteristics are analysed and shown on the evidence of land categories. The changes in land categories from the year 2000 to 2014 are also shown. The analysis shows a change in cultural landscape. The changes can be seen in expansion of forest and in extensification of agricultural areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the article, we analysed the land use in areas of great flood hazard in Slovenia in the year 2014. We mainly examined inappropriate land use in the areas of great flood hazard. We showed the trends in land use changes in the flood regions between the years 2000 and 2014 and analysed the trends in the municipalities mostly threatened by floods. Further on, we separately analysed the current state of land use in the flood region along Drava River in November 2012. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
