The Ljubljana moor is a tectonic valley that stretches across the southern part of the Ljubljana basin in central Slovenia, on the border between the Alpine and Dinaric areas, between the Southern Alps in the north and the Dinarides in the south. In this MS thesis, the geological development and geomorphological characteristics of the area of the Ljubljana moor were analysed, as well as the characteristics of the population and its distribution in this area. Furthermore, the distribution of the population was correlated with geological and geomorphological characteristics, which were assumed to be a limiting factor in the spatial distribution of the population. The analysis and visualization of the studied area was made using QGIS 3.28.3 software. The data processing and analysis process is based on the European digital relief model (EU-DEM), and the data on the spatial distribution of the population were taken from the Household Register of the Republic of Slovenia. The analysis established that geomorphological characteristics are the limiting factor in the spatial distribution of the population. It was found that the largest number of households is located on the base of quaternary sediments, and the smallest on impermeable rocks. It was also ascertained that the vast majority of the population, over 80%, is situated at an altitude between 290 and 340 m, i.e. not in the lowest altitude zone of the studied area. In relation to the slopes, as expected, the majority of the households were documented in the area of the lowest slopes, i.e. in completely flat areas. An analysis of the distribution of the population in relation to the vertical relief dissection showed that the majority of population inhabits peripheral areas with greater relief dissection. Finally, by analysing the distribution of the population according to the orientation of the slopes, a noticeably larger number of households were recorded on the southeast, south and southwest oriented slopes.
