20.500.12556/DKUM-93202 Quality of Life in a Changing World Collection of Abstracts Kakovost bivanja v spreminjajočem se svetu Zbirka izvlečkov What defines quality of life? Is it health and the absence of illness? Strong relationships with friends and family? Spirituality and faith? A peaceful, prosperous country with a robust welfare system? Or perhaps the environments we inhabit: well-designed homes, green and blue infrastructure, a circular economy, and unpolluted surroundings? Quality of life is a complex, multifaceted concept that cannot be confined to a single definition. Addressing it holistically calls for a multidisciplinary approach. This summer school focuses on the spatial dimensions of quality of life. Scholars from across Europe and the USA have gathered to explore key themes, including: equality and inclusivity, urban and rural well-being, healthy digital environments, planning liveable environments, sense of place, technolohy and climate action. These themes reflect the changing realities of our world—urban and rural transformations, demographic shifts, digital evolution, and climate change. Each contribution in this collection offers unique insights into how space and place shape our experiences and aspirations for a better life. In a world of constant change, the quality of life is not a static ideal—but a moving target, shaped by where we are, how we live, and what we value. This volume invites you to reflect, rethink, and reimagine the spaces where life unfolds. Kaj opredeljuje kakovost življenja? Je to zdravje in odsotnost bolezni? Močni odnosi s prijatelji in družino? Duhovnost in vera? Mirna, uspešna država z močnim sistemom blaginje? Ali morda okolja, v katerih živimo: dobro zasnovani domovi, zelena in modra infrastruktura, krožno gospodarstvo ter neonesnaženo okolje? Kakovost življenja je kompleksen, večplasten pojem, ki ga ni mogoče omejiti na eno samo definicijo. Celostno obravnavanje zahteva multidisciplinarni pristop. Ta poletna šola se osredotoča na prostorske razsežnosti kakovosti življenja. Strokovnjaki iz Evrope in ZDA so se zbrali, da bi raziskali ključne teme, kot so: enakost in vključenost, dobrobit v urbanem in podeželskem okolju, zdrava digitalna okolja, načrtovanje bivalnih prostorov, občutek pripadnosti prostoru, tehnologija in podnebni ukrepi. Te teme odražajo spreminjajočo se resničnost našega sveta — preobrazbe mest in podeželja, demografske premike, digitalni razvoj in podnebne spremembe. Vsak prispevek v tej zbirki ponuja edinstven vpogled v to, kako prostor in kraj oblikujeta naše izkušnje in težnje po boljšem življenju. quality of life space well-being inclusivity sustainability kakovost življenja prostor dobrobit vključenost trajnost true false false University of Maribor, University Press Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-06-12 13:51:22 2025-06-12 13:51:22 2025-06-13 03:07:11 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 Maribor 2025 Maribor 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 978-961-299-007-7 711.55:330.59(082)(0.034.2) 239156227 10.18690/um.ff.4.2025 https://press.um.si/index.php/ump/catalog/book/980 1 9099ff01-4783-11f0-9ef2-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=192132 9789612990077.pdf 9789612990077.pdf 1 A58521E1319A03AF8AA498C84FB9D3F1 abcae388f5294ad7cdba4149c77daf84df309779e4e11f080daefed30a93ef27 e329b494-4783-11f0-9ef2-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=192133 Filozofska fakulteta Univerzitetna založba Univerze v Mariboru 0 0 0
