The paper discusses human perception of weather and climate changes, from their awareness to perception of their causes, consequences and preparedness for action. Weather and climate variability include all forms of unstable weather and climate conditions, which may last for different lengths of time, what makes their adequate perception more difficult. This is shown also in false understanding of their causes, e.g. connection of climate changes with ozone hole. Results obtained on quota sample of 1311 participants from all regions of Slovenia support previous findings that Slovenian inhabitants are strongly aware of climate change; they attribute them mainly to human activity and are anxious about them. Traffic and industry are perceived as the main pollutants. Participants to a greater degree perceive possible consequences of climate changed elsewhere in the world than at their locality. Different groups with regard to climate change perception were found and their characteristics established. Findings were analyzed, discussed and compared to other relevant studies.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 56911714We discovered new archaeological site – Gornje Mostišče – on the Ljubljana marshes. Using small scale test trenches and geophysical methods we determined the site limits, its internal structure and chronological position. Gornje mostišče is the first completely mapped site on Ljubljana Marshes. It significantly contribute to understanding of the archaeological heritage in the area of Ig pile dwellings, part of the UNSESCO world heritage. A significant contribution is use of low- and non-invasive methods.
