The database includes landscape typology of Slovenia from 1996 (last updated in 2023) with nine landscape types combined into four landscape type groups. This was the first partly computerized typology of Slovenia. It was done on the basis of four data layers: the surface elevation and inclination, and lithology and vegetation types. The inclination and elevation data were based on a 100-meter digital elevation model, and the lithology and vegetation data were obtained through digitization of a 1:250,000 lithological map with thirty-seven basic units and a vegetation map with sixty-two basic units. Both digitized layers were rasterized to a 100-meter grid. All four layers were then generalized, simplified and overlaid. The boundaries were manually plotted, mostly following morphological structure and larger watercourses. In the end delineated landscape units were classified into nine landscape types, which were further combined into four landscape type groups.

Geografski zbornik 38; Perko, D., Ciglič, R., Hrvatin, M. 2021: Landscape macrotypologies and microtypologies of Slovenia. Acta geographica Slovenica 61-3). The shp file has four attributes: tipi (landscape types in Slovene), skupine (landscape type groups in Slovene), types (landscape types in English), groups (landscape type groups in English).

The dataset contains one shp file with landscape types and landscape type groups of Slovenia. Projected Coordinate System used for the spatial datasets is: EPSG 3794.
