| description | Due to a dense population and the presence of various activities, among which tourism and port activities must be highlighted, the Slovenian coast is subject to constant changes. This article analyzes the extent of these changes between 1954 and 2010, which coincides with a time of major coastline changes resulting from intense development of tourism and the commercial port. The analysis was based on a comparison of aerial photographs from 1954 and 2010. The changes were determined and measured on transects 50 meters apart. The land area gained and lost during this time was also calculated and the coastline was classified into four different types based on the level of naturalness and anthropogenic transformations. |
