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 analyzes heat waves in Sarajevo in the period 1901-2018. We presented the trends in the number of heat waves, their length, the highest air temperatures during heat waves and the cumulative highest temperatures during heat waves. We also discussed the trends of the universal thermal climate index for Sarajevo in the period 1961--2018, which show the burdensome thermal effect on humans in a more integral way. In Sarajevo we observe an increase in the number of heat waves, the number of days in heat waves and the cumulative maximum temperatures in heat waves. After 1961, the burdensome thermal effect in the summer months also increases, which also indicates a positive trend in the value of the universal thermal climate index. [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]
