20.500.12556/DKUM-96827 Quality of life in a changing world spatial, social and environmental perspectives from Maribor and beyond Kakovost življenja v spreminjajočem se svetu prostorski, družbeni in okoljski vidiki iz Maribora in širše okolice The scientific monograph addresses quality of life in a holistic manner, through an interplay of spatial, social, and environmental perspectives, based on an empirical framework that draws on diverse case studies from Maribor and the wider European context. A particular strength of the monograph lies in its international and collaborative character, as it brings together contributions from students and researchers from different disciplines and countries, reflecting contemporary research approaches and enriching the understanding of quality of life as a multidimensional theme. The contributions demonstrate methodological diversity, combining qualitative and quantitative methods with a strong empirical foundation supported by fieldwork, cartographic visualisations, and comparative analyses. As a whole, the monograph represents an important contribution to the study of medium-sized cities, regional geography, and quality of life, while also offering significant pedagogical and applied value for further research and policy-making. Znanstvena monografija kakovost življenja obravnava celostno, skozi preplet prostorskih, družbenih in okoljskih vidikov, z empirično zasnovo, ki temelji na raznolikih študijah primerov iz Maribora in širšega evropskega prostora. Posebna vrednost monografije je v mednarodnem in sodelovalnem značaju, saj združuje prispevke študentov in raziskovalcev iz različnih disciplin in držav, kar odraža sodobne raziskovalne pristope in bogati razumevanje kakovosti življenja kot večrazsežnostne tematike. Prispevki v monografiji odražajo metodološko raznolikost, uporabo kombinacije kvalitativnih in kvantitativnih metod ter močno empirično podlago, podprto s terenskim delom, kartografskimi prikazi in primerjalnimi analizami. Monografija kot celota ponuja pomemben prispevek k preučevanju srednje velikih mest, regionalne geografije in kakovosti življenja, hkrati pa ima tudi izrazito pedagoško in aplikativno vrednost za nadaljnje raziskave ter oblikovanje politik. quality of life well-being spatial development spatial inequality sustainable urban development public space kakovost življenja blaginja prostorski razvoj prostorske neenakosti trajnostni urbani razvoj javni prostor true false true University of Maribor, University Press Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2026-01-29 12:20:02 2026-01-29 12:20:02 2026-03-04 09:27:11 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 Maribor 2026 Maribor II, 182 str. 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-01-29 978-961-299-107-4 316.728:304.35(497.4Maribor)(0.034.2) 265915651 10.18690/um.ff.2.2026 9789612991074.pdf 9789612991074.pdf 1 446412F65BEEB30002BBF26100D67118 e4d9b64aa7b4c69ba197a1c2446778a854aea7909d6962d9a14f235809d4bfda c3fb3ac4-fd04-11f0-a012-00155d00018d https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=202779 https://press.um.si/index.php/ump/catalog/book/1087 1 752d3e05-fd04-11f0-a012-00155d00018d https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=202778 Filozofska fakulteta Univerzitetna založba Univerze v Mariboru Urban agriculture and quality of life Defining and measuring quality of life Urban-suburban relations and quality of life along the Maribor-Graz corridor Social inclusion issues in contemporary housing estates Quality of life and welfare spaces in Maribor's Koroška vrata district Case study on urban atmospheres in Maribor Linking urban public spaces and cultural institutions to quality of life Everyday encounters in public transport Cultivating resilience Rural Europe in comparison Spatial analytics of climate change impacts Ecological network and ecosystem services 0 0 0
