Due to a dense population and the presence of various activities, among which tourism and port activities must be highlighted, the Slovenian coast is subject to constant changes. This article analyzes the extent of these changes between 1954 and 2010, which coincides with a time of major coastline changes resulting from intense development of tourism and the commercial port. The analysis was based on a comparison of aerial photographs from 1954 and 2010. The changes were determined and measured on transects 50 meters apart. The land area gained and lost during this time was also calculated and the coastline was classified into four different types based on the level of naturalness and anthropogenic transformations.
Standing on a flysch ridge Piran is relatively safe from sea floods with the exception of its lower-central part (photograph: Matev` Lenar~i~). Z izjemo osrednjega dela mesta je Piran zaradi lege na fli{nem hrbtu sorazmerno varen pred poplavami morja (fotografija: Matev` Lenar~i~).Nata{a Kolega, Slovenian coast sea floods risk Slovenian coast sea floods risk COBISS: 1.01 ABSTRACT: Article gives a review of sea floods on Slovenian coast with emphasis on their formation, extent and consequences. Sea floods are occurring every year, but they vary in frequency and extent. Consequently, the damage caused by floods also varies. Sea floods rise with flood tides, strong south winds and drops in air pressure. They are more frequent in autumn and winter, but they occur in spring too. The article presents a complete review of sea floods from the beginning of measurements in Koper to present-day, an analysis of flooded regions and influence of climate changes on sea floods.
Alternating diagonal layers of sandstone, marl and turbidite composing the cliff of Cape Ronek. Izmenjavanje po{evnih plasti pe{~enjaka, laporja in turbidita na klifu rta Ronek. ABSTRACT: The coastal zone, the land and sea area bordering the shoreline, is an area with unique intertwining features. This article reveals a new study of the coastal zone as an inseparable whole in three-dimensional (3D) space. The starting points of the study were data from lidar and sonar ranging gathered in a 3D space of an approximately 1-kilometer-long coastal zone of Koprsko primorje. According to these data spatial analyses were made: height or depth analysis, slope and exposure analysis, and classification of land and sea interaction. Special attention was devoted to cliffs, abrasion platforms and underwater stone platforms. Spatial analyses gave a new vision of the coastal zone and revealed new features.
