| Research Abstract |
Natural conditions of pasture of sheep transhumance were compared after the periods of revolution in Slovenia and Romania. The results have been published in Reports "Changing Social Conditions and their Impacts on the Geoecology -Transhumance Regions of Romania and Slovenia-" in English.
1.Slovenia
After the World War II, land degradation has been occurred seriously on the karst plateau by transhumance of sheep. After the revolution of 1991, transhumance has disappeared, because, Slovenia sheep could not move to Croatia during winter. However, the touristic transhumance on the Velika Planina is continuing by now. As an examination of training of Shepard and use of pasture are tried by the University.
2.Romania
In the Chindrel Mt. of South Carpathian Mts, intermediate-stationed transhumance of sheep has been carried on the peneplanes in the Precambrian area. The number of sheep has been increased 10 times after the Revolution of 1989. In these areas, land degradation and water pollution are developing year by year. Roma utilizes freely in the common lands. This is also one reason of land degradation. The methods which should be introduced in this area for stopping erosion and recovering vegetation, are considered as a conclusion.
