Sporna imena naselij v Sloveniji

Settlement names are the type of geographical names or toponyms that people come across most often. In Slovenia, their unification or standardization is handled by the Commission for Standardization of Geographical Names of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia, which is based at the Anton Melik Geographical Institute of the Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts. The Commission operates mainly on the basis of UN resolutions on geographical names, Slovenian orthography and Slovenian legislation on geographical names, and publishes standardized geographical names in standardization documents (such as maps and gazetteers) and online on the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia. There are more than 6,000 settlement names in Slovenia, a fifth of which are disputed for various reasons and should be corrected.The book ('Disputed names of settlements in Slovenia') first discusses basic terms in the field of geographical names, especially settlement names, then describes the methodology for determining disputed settlement name in Slovenia and proposes corrected names of disputed names, and finally presents standardized names on maps at a scale of 1: 1,000,000 and 1:250,000 and in the Register of Geographical Names or REZI, which is the largest database of geographical names in Slovenia.

Imena naselij so tista vrsta zemljepisnih imen ali toponimov, s katerimi se ljudje najpogosteje srečujemo. V Sloveniji za njihovo poenotenje ali standardizacijo skrbi Komisija za standardizacijo zemljepisnih imen Vlade Republike Slovenije, ki ima sedež na Geografskem inštitutu Antona Melika Znanstvenoraziskovalnega centra Slovenske akademije znanosti in umetnosti. Komisija deluje predvsem na podlagi resolucij OZN o zemljepisnih imenih, slovenskega pravopisa ter slovenske zakonodaje o zemljepisnih imenih, standardizirana zemljepisna imena pa objavlja v standardizacijskih dokumentih (na primer na zemljevidih in v imenikih zemljepisnih imen) ter na spletu Geodetske Uprave Republike Slovenije. V Sloveniji je več kot 6000 naselij, od katerih jih ima petina zaradi različnih razlogov sporna imena, ki bi morala biti popravljena.Knjiga najprej obravnava temeljne izraze s področja zemljepisnih imen, še posebej imen naselij, nato opiše metodologijo določanja spornih imen naselij v Sloveniji in predlaga popravljena imena spornih imen, na koncu pa predstavi že standardizirana imena na zemljevidih v merilih 1 : 1.000.000 in 1 : 250.000 ter v Registru zemljepisnih imen REZI, ki je največja zbirka zemljepisnih imen v Sloveniji.
