The modern way of life requires the exploitation of natural resources, which leads to a significant deterioration of the environment and can even endanger human health.The basic hypothesis is that the population of Slovenia in general is still too inadequately informed and insufficiently environmentally educated and aware about water as a natural resource to have the motivation and capability to actively participate in the protection of water as a natural resource.Most people support environmental protection in principle, especially declaratively, since this is a socially approved action. However, when faced with restrictions that would interfere with their way of life by limiting their activities or increasing their expenses, their enthusiasm decreases rapidly. And the closer we get to actions we could define as “environmentally active,” the fewer people are actually prepared to protect the environment. Possibly a fifth of the population can be defined as people who favour environmental protection and consider it a value for which they themselves are willing to do something.The survey showed that level of education is very significant relative to people’s response to environmental problems and that the more educated are more environmentally friendly. Temeljna hipoteza knjige je, da so prebivalci Slovenije še vedno nezadostno informirani, okoljsko izobraženi in ozaveščeni o vodi kot naravnem viru, da bi lahko aktivno sodelovali pri varovanju vode kot naravnega vira. Avtor je na podlagi obširnega vprašalnika ugotovil, da večina ljudi načeloma podpira varovanje okolja, še zlasti deklarativno, saj je to tudi družbeno zaželeno dejanje. Ko pa se soočijo z omejitvami, ki bi posegle v njihov način življenja, ta vnema hitro popusti. Bolj ko se bližamo dejanjem, ki bi jih lahko opredelili kot okoljsko aktivna, tem manj ljudi je dejansko pripravljenih varovati okolje. Izkazalo se je, da je pri odnosu ljudi do okoljskih problemov zelo pomembna stopnja izobrazbe.

The monograph treats an environmental interpretation which is not only one of the most effective processes for informing and raising the awareness of visitors to and residents of protected areas, but also one of the most demanding and complex ones. The case of the Ljubljana Moor (Ljubljansko barje) is used to analyze the relationship between people and nature from various perspectives and to present a possible approach to interpreting this cultural landscape. In 2008, the area was protected and designated the Ljubljansko barje Landscape park. A detailed analysis of the Iška River basin was performed in order to demonstrate how various interpretation tools can be used to interpret the environment for real and virtual visitors in various age groups. Monografija obravnava interpretacijo okolja, ki je eden od najbolj učinkovitih, a hkrati zahtevnih in kompleksnih procesov informiranja ter ozaveščanja obiskovalcev in lokalnih prebivalcev na (za)varovanih območjih. Na primeru Ljubljanskega barja smo z različnih vidikov osvetlili odnos med človekom in naravo ter predstavili možen pristop interpretacije te kulturne pokrajine, ki je bila leta 2008 zavarovana kot Krajinski park Ljubljansko barje. S podrobnejšo analizo smo na primeru porečja Iške prikazali, kako lahko z več različnimi interpretacijskimi orodji ponudimo interpretacijo okolja tako realnim kot virtualnim obiskovalcem različnih starostnih skupin. Interpretacijska orodja, ki se med seboj dopolnjujejo, obsegajo Pot ob reki Iški – »Okljuk« z informativnimi tablami in brošuro, prosto dostopne e-lekcije z didaktičnimi navodili in priporočili za učitelje, prosto dostopno elektronsko Barjansko banko terenskih nalog in zasnovo Učilnice na prostem – »Meander«. Predstavljena interpretacijska orodja je mogoče prenesti v različne slovenske pokrajine, namenjena so zlasti izobraževanju mladine.

Studies on the knowledge society and regional innovation systems and their contribution to economic growth are already well established in research literature. This book ('Geographical Perspectives on the Knowledge Society in Slovenia') is based on a geographical analysis of connections between technological knowledge, competitiveness factors, and economic effects. It proceeds from the hypothesis that economic effectiveness in a region originates from the quality of human capital, in which innovations are the precondition for social progress, competitiveness, and developmental success. This article analyzes the spatial expansion of the knowledge society based on socioeconomic and development indicators in Slovenia. The key finding is that these areas are unevenly distributed. The high share of centers of national importance and neighboring suburban municipalities in emerging urban regions stands out in particular. Areas with a high percentage of creative professions are more innovative and their economic and social development is more successful. Raziskave o družbi znanja, regionalnih inovacijskih sistemih in njihovem prispevku h gospodarski rasti so v znanstveni literaturi že uveljavljene. Pričujoča knjiga temelji na geografski analizi povezanosti med tehnološkim razvojem, faktorji konkurenčnosti in gospodarskimi učinki. Izhaja iz predpostavke, da gospodarska učinkovitost v pokrajini izhaja iz kakovosti človeškega kapitala, kjer so inovacije predpogoj za družbeni napredek, konkurenčnost in razvojni uspeh. V publikaciji analiziramo prostorsko razprostranjenost družbe znanja na podlagi socialno-ekonomskih in razvojnih kazalnikov v Sloveniji. Ključna ugotovitev je, da so ta območja neenakomerno razporejena. Z največjimi deleži izstopajo predvsem zaposlitvena središča nacionalnega pomena in okoliške obmestne občine v nastajajočih mestnih regijah. Območja z velikim deležem ustvarjalnih poklicev so bolj inovativna, njihov ekonomski in družbeni razvoj pa je uspešnejši.
