Namen prispevka je na varovanem območju Natura 2000 ovrednotiti geodiverziteto in podati smernice za vključitev v obstoječi sistem naravovarstva. Kot območje preučevanja je bilo izbrano porečje Dragonje. Na podlagi kartografskega gradiva in terenskega dela smo izdelali morfografski zemljevid območja, s pomočjo literature pa prilagodili metodo izračuna indeksa geodiverzitete v geografskih informacijskih sistemih. Končni rezultat je zemljevid indeksa geodiverzitete, na podlagi katerega smo določili vroče točke geodiverzitete. //   The importance of protection of geodiversity hotspots for the conservation of biodiversity in the Natura 2000 area in the Dragonja river valleyThe purpose of the article is to evaluate geodiversity in Natura 2000 protected area and to provide guidelines for inclusion in the existing nature protection system. The Dragonja River basin (SW Slovenia) was selected as a study area. Based on cartographic material and field work we made a morphographic map of the area, and based on the literature we adjusted the method of calculating the geodiversity index in geographic information systems. The final result is a map of the geodiversity index, on the basis of which geodiversity hotspots were determined.

The article describes experience of using geographic information systems in archaeological research of the Brovarka river basin. This river is а part of surface waters of Pereiaslav region and it is located in the south-eastern part of the region. The study of sites in the region began in the middle of the XIX century. From this time until the end of the 1960s the research focus was concentrated only on the certain objects of the micro-region. During the next period (up to the early 1990s) the several field studies was conducted on the territory, that allows to accumulate many archaeological materials. Despite the aforementioned, yet the purposeful study of the territory was not carried out. In the early 2000s a generalization of information about archaeological sites in the micro-region and their further field survey was started. So, we have begun a comprehensive study of archaeological sites, lined up within the Brovarka river basin. The need to operate a large amount of diverse information and to attract a wide range of sources has forced us to use new approaches in the study of the past of the region: the use of geographic information systems, remote sensing data and GPS positioning. The main research focus was concentrated on the study of the ancient settlement systems. The study was carried out in the context of the implementation of following three areas: а records of archaeological sites, an analysis of the spatial characteristics of ancient settlement systems and use of remote sensing data for different research needs. The particular features and results of their implementation are proposed in this publication.

Accurate information on the state of water resources in the Lake Victoria watershed is crucial for planning and sustainable development in the East African region. This region largely depends on its natural resource-base for economic development, and therefore comprehensive information on its resources dynamics is key in implementing poverty alleviation strategies, improving human condition and preserving the biological systems upon which the region‘s population depends. This chapter focuses on key issues, which have emerged as a result of population growth and development in the region. The research on which this chapter is based aims to address the concerns on land use and settlement trends in the study sites, vulnerability of the communities to water stress and sustainability of the livelihood systems in the watersheds of Nzoia River Basin (Kenya), Nakivubo Wetland (Uganda) and Simiyu River Basin (Tanzania). These communities engage in unique land use practices that have intensified environmental degradation in recent times. The research adopts a multi-disciplinary approach in bringing to the fore the various processes affecting watershed resources use and management in the selected wetlands of the Lake Victoria Drainage Basin (LVDB). The data presented covers trends in vegetation cover loss, pesticide pollution and general water quality parameters. Geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing techniques were employed to unveil land use patterns that have resulted in the degradation of the watershed. Wetland degradation levels have been characterized using secondary data generated by analytical techniques. New emerging challenges of environmental degradation caused by industrial, domestic and agricultural activities are presented and discussed. The potential of the new science of hydroinformatics in integrated watershed management through mathematical modeling, geographic information systems analysis and water supply management is highlighted.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar uma proposta de rota turística para Indianópolis-MG, de forma a valorizar, divulgar e promover a conservação do patrimônio geocultural do município. A partir desse objetivo efetuou-se revisão bibliográfica pertinente ao tema, trabalhos de campo na área de estudo para identificar e caracterizar os elementos patrimoniais e, finalmente, a definição e elaboração da rota geocultural, tendo como suporte de apoio os SIG’s. Esta rota de aproximadamente 64 km engloba atrativos representativos do patrimônio natural e cultural (material e imaterial) do município, tais como quedas d’água, casarões centenários, igrejas, entre outros, que permitem, através dos diferentes sentidos, perceber na paisagem vestígios de um passado que ainda se faz presente nos dias de hoje e um presente que também apresenta indícios de modernidade. Abstract A PROPOSAL FOR A GEOCULTURAL ROUTE FOR THE CITY OF INDIANÓPOLIS/MG The current work has as objective to present a proposal for a touristic route for Indianópolis/MG, so that the preservation of the city geocultural patrimony can be 76. GeoTextos, vol. 8, n. 2, dez. 2012. L. Bento, T. Martins, P. Oliveira, A. Pedrosa. 75-96 valued, publicized and promoted. From this objective bibliographic revisions were made about the theme, field work in the area of study to identify and characterize the patrimonial elements and, finally, the definition and the elaboration of the geocultural route having the support of the Geographic Information Systems. This route of 64 km comprises representative attractions of the natural and cultural patrimony (material and inmaterial) of the city, such as waterfalls, centennial large houses, churches, among others which permit, through different senses, to perceive in the landscape vestiges of a past which is still present nowadays and a present which also presents traces of modernity.
