GEODETSKI VESTNIK I 63/3 | STO LET HRAMA ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF THE g GEODETSKEGA ZNANJA HOME OF LAND-SURVEYING § KNOWLEDGE 1 Blaž Mozetič predsednik Zveze geodetov Slovenije | president of the Association of Surveyors of Slovenia September je mesec, ko imajo v vinorodnih krajih veliko opraviti v hramih. Letošnjega septembra pa je pomemben še en hram. To je hram geodetskega znanja, saj je Fakulteta za gradbeništvo in geodezijo v tem mesecu zaznamovala stoletnico delovanja. Obiranje pridelka — seveda je čas trgatve in bo govor o grozdju — je vesel dogodek, saj so zdravi grozdi odraz celoletnega dela in tudi načrtnega večletnega dela, da je bila trta pravilno negovana. Trgatev je samo sklepni del ene faze, ki je odvisna od mnogih let prejšnjega dela. Tu se začne naslednja faza, in sicer kletarjenje, občutljivi postopek ustvarjanja žlahtne pijače, s katero so si dali veliko opraviti že v antični Grčiji. In da ne bom narobe razumljen, velja vzeti na znanje naslednje: »Minister za zdravje opozarja: Prekomerno pitje alkohola škoduje zdravju!« Z ustekleničenjem žlahtne pijače se konča druga faza in začne se tretja, to je trženje, s katerim se raziskujejo ciljni trgi in uporabniki ter skušajo z njimi vzpostavljati dobičkonosni odnosi. Pravzaprav gre za ustvarjanje zgodb, ki morajo imeti trdno podlago in morajo vsekakor prepričati. Nekatera ustekleničena žlahtna pijača navduši skoraj takoj, nekatera čez leto ali dve, ko dozori, nekatera pa lahko šele čez več let. Žal včasih nekatere tudi razočarajo. Ampak nič zato, se zgodi. Tale nekoliko bolj dionizijski uvod je potreben, da se nam zbudijo čutila, ki so na preizkušnji, ko okušamo žlahtno pijačo, s katero po navadi nazdravimo oziroma nazdravljamo ob pomembnih dogodkih, med katere spadajo tudi obletnice. Torej, drage geodetke in geodeti, naša Fakulteta za gradbeništvo in geodezijo praznuje sto let delovanja. Vse najboljše, na zdravje in še na mnoga leta! Vendar to še ni vse. Fakulteta za gradbeništvo in geodezijo je naslednica Tehniške fakultete, ene izmed petih ustanovnih članic takrat Univerze Kraljestva Srbov, Hrvatov in Slovencev v Ljubljani, danes Univerze v Ljubljani, katere ustanovitev je bila razglašena 23. avgusta 1919. September ima slovensko ime kimavec, zato lahko zgornjemu zapisu samo prikimamo in se sladko nasmehnemo, saj smo geodeti spet bili zraven na samem začetku, ko se je začelo veliko univerzitetno izobraževalno popotovanje naroda na domači grudi. Drage geodetke in geodeti, etiketa na steklenici je lahko še tako moderna, lepa, všečna itd., ampak prepričati mora vsebina. Menim, da podobno velja za fakulteto in diplomante. Pri prvi ni bistvo stavba, ampak profesorji in sodelavci, pri drugih pa ni bistvena diploma, ampak znanje in ostale lastnosti oziroma talenti, ki naredijo iz človeka geodeta. I 321 | | 63/3 | GEODETSKI VESTNIK Na slavnostni akademiji ob 100. obletnici Fakultete za gradbeništvo in geodezijo, ki je bila v Cankarjevem ¡o domu, v hramu slovenske kulture, je bila izrečena naslednja misel, ki izhaja iz Azije: »Izberi si poklic, ki S ga ljubiš, in noben dan v življenju ti ne bo več treba delati.« IK g Menim, da lahko z malo domišljije vse zapisano o žlahtni pijači predrugačimo, kar velja tudi za univerzi-= tetno izobraževanje geodetov. In da ne bo pomote, pogovarjamo se samo o dobrih stvareh, zato minister za okolje in prostor svetuje: »Prekomerno druženje z geodeti ima pozitivne učinke na reševanje vaših prostorskih in nepremičninskih težav.« Srečno! I 322 | GEODETSKI VESTNIK I 63/3 | September is a rather busy month in wine-growing regions. This September, another harvest is important. It is the harvest of land-surveying knowledge — this year the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering g celebrates its centenary. The harvest — autumn calls for a treatise on grapes — is a grand affair as healthy grapes are the reflection of g O efforts throughout the year and long years ofcareful planning in an endeavour to take proper care ofthe vines. =5 Harvesting is just the final step of a phase that depends on long years ofwork. It is the point at which the next phase begins: work in the wine cellar that requires attention to detail in the production of wine, this noble fine beverage, which has required great effort since the days of Ancient Greece. To avoid misinterpretation, it should be noted here: "The Minister of Health warns: Excessive drinking of alcohol harms your health!" Bottling of the noble fine wine marks the end of the second and the beginning of the third phase — marketing — which means the study of final markets and users and an attempt to build profitable relationships with them. In essence, this means the relating of stories that have to be plausible and by all means convincing. Some bottled noble fine wine fills one with admiration at the very beginning, some in a year or two, while with others it may take several years to do so. Unfortunately, some varieties are also disappointing. Well, such things happen, no harm done. The purpose of this slightly Dionysian introduction is to awaken our senses that are being challenged during the tasting of the noble fine wine that is usually used for a toast or toasts to important events, which also includes anniversaries. So, Dear Land Surveyors, our Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering celebrates one hundred years of existence. Cheers! Good health to you! Here's to many more! But that is not all. Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering is the descendant of the Technical Faculty, one of the five founding members of the University of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes in Ljubljana — the University of Ljubljana today — that was proclaimed on 23 August 1919. An archaic Slovene name for the month of September could be translated as 'the nodding month', which means that we can only nod and smile because land surveyors have been there from the very beginning, when the nation set out on the grand academic education journey in its ethnic territories. Dear Land Surveyors, it is not the label on the bottle — no matter how very modern, beautiful, or attractive it is, but the content that is the determining factor. I believe that the same could be said for the faculty and its alumni. With the institution, the essence is not the building but professors and colleagues; with the students, it is not the degree that matters but knowledge and other characteristics or gifts that constitute a land surveyor. At the solemn ceremony that was dedicated to the hundredth anniversary of the Facility for Civil and Geodetic Engineering, which took place in Cankarjev dom, the home of Slovene culture, the following thought that originates in Asia was read: "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." I suggest we use some imagination to transform the thoughts on the noble fine wine and university course in land surveying. And make no mistake, only good things are discussed here, which is why the Minister of the Environment and Spatial Planning advises: "Excessive socialising with land surveyors benefits the addressing of your spatial and real-estate problems." Best of luck! I 323 | | 63/3 | GEODETSKI VESTNIK I 324 |
