Education:
- Sc. in Geography and Ethnology (Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, 1984)

Research interests:
There are two main topics in frame of my research fields. The first one is transport geography where I am concentrating on public passenger transport planning, which is based on daily mobility and travel behaviour studies. I am involved in sustainable urban mobility plans and transport accessibility measurement and planning. The second topic is land use and land cover changes study. Long term land use changes from different point of view have been analysed.
