The paper presents an assessment of urban heat island (UHI) impact on air temperature trends in Ljubljana. The assessments are based on the comparison between the long-term air temperature trends in Ljubljana and Zagreb. Meteorological station Zagreb-Grič operated on the hill in the city centre since its establishment in 1862, while the Ljubljana station changed its location several times. The analysed UHI effect on the measurements of air temperature in Ljubljana gradually increased, especially after 1950.

Geographical studies of human perception of places at local scale are usually aimed at better understanding of human spatial perception and knowledge about the places, and of using this knowledge in spatial decision-making or spatial behaviour. Our focus on the first part of these general research aims is presented based on a case study, revealing how residents of the Municipality of Ljubljana perceive and value neighbourhoods of "their" municipality at the beginning of the century 1 .

Prispevek prinaša rezultate analize spreminjanja števila prebivalstva in sočasnega prostorskega razvoja naselij južnega dela Ljubljanske urbane regije, ki smo ga opredelili kot območje občin Borovnica, Brezovica, Log-Dragomer, Ig in Škofljica. To območje vključuje ožje suburbanizirano obmestje, širše obmestje in podeželska naselja. Želeli smo ugotoviti, ali se dinamika spreminjanja števila prebivalstva in prostorski razvoj naselij razlikujeta. Zanimalo nas je tudi, ali je v primerjavi z obdobjem pred letom 2002 prišlo do pomembnejših sprememb v gibanju in težnjah spreminjanja števila prebivalstva.
