Borut Belec studied changes in land use of peripheral and border areas of the North-Eastern Slovenia. His active participation in research projects and his early entry into the international area resulted in the upgrade of his research work with the study of distant locations from the perspective of the humanistic components of the Agrarian and Regional Geography. Borut Belec has enriched the Slovenian Agrarian Geography above all by studying land use in relation to the development of viticulture over long periods of time. At the local level, he studied changes in land use and acknowledged their influence on demographic changes, on workforce commuting, and on the marginality and transport accessibility of peripheral areas. He was the pioneer of the scientific approach to the study of the peripherality and marginality in Slovenia. His scientific findings were published in renowned journals and presented at international geographical congresses. With the integration of graduates into his scientific work, he was able to transmit his knowledge to new generations of young geographersSlovenski geograf, zaslužni profesor Borut Belec je kot raziskovalec največ prispeval v drugi polovici 20. stoletja, ko sta bila za agrarno geografijo značilna predvsem nazadovanje njene teorije in obrobnost zanimanja vodilnih slovenskih geografov. Proučeval je spremembe v rabi tal obrobnih in obmejnih območij severovzhodne Slovenije. Njegovo aktivno sodelovanje v raziskovalnih projektih in zgodnja vključitev v mednarodni prostor je imela za posledico, da je svoje raziskave nadgradil s proučevanjem obrobnosti z vidika humanističnih komponent agrarne in regionalne geografije. Borut Belec je slovensko agrarno geografijo obogatil predvsem s proučevanjem rabe tal glede na razvoj vinogradništva v daljših časovnih obdobjih. Na lokalnem nivoju je raziskoval spremembe rabe tal in zaznal njene posledice na demografske spremembe, dnevno mobilnost delovne sile, obmejnost in prometno dostopnost obrobnih območij. Bil je začetnik znanstvenega pristopa proučevanja obrobnosti in marginalnosti v Sloveniji. Svoja znanstvena spoznanja je objavljal v priznanih revijah in predstavljal na mednarodnih geografskih kongresih. Z vključevanjem diplomantov v raziskovalno delo, je svoje znanje prenašal na nove generacije mladih geografovTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Mariboru, Filozofska fakulteta
