| Summary: | The study of natural hazards since the 1950s is considered as one of the mostimportant contributions of physical geography to the application of geographicalknowledge in Slovenia. The threat of destructive natural events and significantdegree of vulnerability are constituent parts of every cultural landscape, and canbe recognized as immediate effects of natural processes, as practical countermeasuresto prevent damages, as keeping off the most hazardous areas and, also,as unsuitable acts or wrong interventions into the geographical space. These elementsare presented as important topics of geographical research in the nearfuture, together with the study of subjective, personal, perception of vulnerabilitydue to natural hazards, which is one of the key starting-points for future dealingwith areas, where the potentially damaging or dangerous natural processes are inaction. |
