Abstract
The project aims to give both theoretical and methodological bases for studying border landscapes and cultural contact areas, explore past geopolitical developments and current social and spatial aspects of the selected region and its relations with the rest of Slovenia, neighbouring regions and other European border areas. Research results will give the basis for preparing some proposal of both content and method, concerning the elaboration of common social development plans for the studied cross-border Euro-region, and the maintenance of cultural diversity in a perspective of international integration.
