Invited lecture at the biannual symposium GIS v Sloveniji 2009-2010. Analytical hill-shading is the most frequently used relief visualization technique. In its most commonly used form it is based on the direct illumination that makes possible to intuitively recognize relief features. Its interpretation is, however, difficult in areas parallel to the illumination light direction. Furthermore, the interpretation may be impossible in deep shades. We are proposing a new relief visualisation technique based on diffuse illumination.

COBISS.SI-ID: 31795245Invited lecture at the biannual symposium GIS in Slovenia 2009-2010. In this study we apply visual methodology to monitor land cover changes of urban areas in the Central Slovenia region. We employ multitemporal Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM)/ Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) images from 1992, 1999 and 2005. Visual interpretation of change detection has been performed using RGB – NDVI methodology.

COBISS.SI-ID: 31911469The paper presented at the international conference analyses practices and discourses of the emigrants coming from Himarë/Himara area, southern Albania. It explores ways in which emigrants continuously constitute their sense of rootedness and belonging to their natal village. The focus is on the pilgrimage to Stavridi on the evening before the Dormition of the Theotokos, which is seen as a metaphor of a route with its temporal and spatial dimensions related to the emigrant's claims for roots.
