Abstract
patial data layers that contain objects of certain classes such as geology, relief, waters, climate, soil, vegetation, land use, population and settlements are going to be analysed with the help of Geographic Information System. At the same time the multi-level regionalisation are going to be carried out. Macroregions, mezoregions and microregions in Slovenia will be defined by uniform criteria on the basis of hypothesis of landscape components connection, hypothesis of homogeneous spatial units (landscapes or regions) and hypothesis of hierarchic relation among these spatial units.
Purport, spatial and hierarchic uniting of microregions in mezoregions and mezoregions in macroregions will be tested with the help of cluster analysis of microregions by applying the Ward method as for natural variable chosen.
Regionalisation of Slovenia will be represented on different-scale maps containing boundaries of macroregions, mezoregions and microregions.
