| 297 | GEODETSKI VESTNIK | 64/3 | UVODNIK | EDITORIAL Anka Lisec glavna in odgovorna urednica | Editor-in-chief MED ISKRENIMI LJUDMI AMONG SINCERE PEOPLE V dnevih zaključevanja septembrske številke Geodetskega vestnika nas skozi okno lepo pozdravljajo pozni poletni sončni žarki, kot da bi se z nami veselili, da imamo v uredništvu celo paleto člankov za objavo. Kako lepo je biti urednik, ko imaš na voljo tako veliko zanimivih prispevkov – pa naj bodo to raziskovalni članki ali pa strokovne razprave in novice. Še več. Kljub nenavadnim časom imamo tudi novice iz društev, pri čemer se društvene dejavnosti seveda izvajajo le v okvirih, ki so v teh časih dopustni. Hvala, da delite te utrinke z nami! Prispevka o izjemnem uspehu slovenskih znanstvenikov in razvijalcev v tej številki sicer še ne objavljamo, a obljubljeno nam je, da dobimo poročilo za decembrsko številko. V mislih imam uspešno izstrelitev prvih dveh slovenskih satelitov v orbito, ki smo jo čakali vse od februarja, in nekateri so že nejevoljno obupovali … Ampak uspelo je! In to v letu, ko zaznamujemo petdeset let vzpostavitve prve letalske ekipe na Slovenskem za fotogrametrično snemanje (op. o tem smo poročali v prejšnji številki). V četrtek, 3. 9. 2020, ob 3.51 po srednjeevropskem poletnem času je raketa Vega ponesla iz Francoske Gvajane v vesolje 53 satelitov, med njimi prvi slovenski mikrosatelit NEMO-HD in prvi slovenski nanosatelit TRISAT. Če se vrnemo na trdna tla – tokrat ne morem mimo novice, ki smo jo, prav tako začetek septembra, prejeli od stanovskih kolegov iz Avstrije. Avstrijski kolegi, ki so pobudniki, da se geodetska terenska kulturna dediščina razglasi za dediščino svetovnega pomena v okviru organizacije UNESCO, so nam sporočili, da so ob podpori njihovega resornega ministrstva za kulturo začeli pripravljati dokumentacijo za uradno vlogo na UNESCO. V ta namen se pripravlja tematska študija, kamor bodo vključili tudi države, ki smo izrazile interes za sodelovanje. Kot veste, je pobuda stara že nekaj let in tudi v Sloveniji smo se prek Zveze geodetov Slovenije, s podporo Fakultete za gradbeništvo in geodezijo pri Univerzi v Ljubljani ter Geodetske uprave RS, dejavno vključili vanjo. Zbrane imamo predloge izjemnih mejnih kamnov in geodetskih točk. Ob tej priložnosti hvala vsem, ki ste nam jih poslali. S tem smo posredno pripravili tudi popis izjemnih mejnikov in geodetskih točk na območju Slovenije, o čemer bomo v naših krogih zagotovo še govorili. Za konec še ena septembrska novica – v petek, 4. septembra 2020, smo dobili novega predsednika Zveze geodetov Slovenije mag. Gregorja Klemenčiča. Iskrene čestitke! Ob tej priložnosti naj se zahvalim Blažu za vse storjeno in predvsem za njegovo neutrudno prepričanje, | 298 | GEODETSKI VESTNIK | 64/3 | UVODNIK | EDITORIAL da skupaj zmoremo! Zveza je namreč uspešna toliko, kolikor so uspešna društva in kolikor so dejavni in uspešni posamezni člani. Vsi uspehi in lepi spomini so zasluga predvsem mnogih članov društev, ki prostovoljno in iskreno delujete v dobrobit stroke. T udi meni je bilo v čast pluti z vsemi vami, čeravno včasih ni bilo enostavno. T oda ob iskrenih in motiviranih ljudeh ni nič težko – saj poznate besedilo znane slovenske popevke, ki pravi: »Med iskrenimi ljudmi so preproste vse reči kot jasen dan.« Verjamem, da bo tudi novo vodstvo, ki se še oblikuje, sledilo smernicam, ki so se oblikovale in bile splošno sprejete med člani društev v preteklih letih. Naj ostane Zveza geodetov Slovenije še naprej tista, ki spodbuja in ceni delovanje lokalnih društev, nas združuje na državni ravni ter hkrati ohranja in krepi stike z drugimi strokami in stanovskimi združenji v tujini. Iskreno želim vse dobro novemu vodstvu! These days, as we finish the September issue of Geodetski Vestnik, the rays of the late-autumn sun are greet - ing us through the windows, as if they would like to join in a celebration of the fine array of articles in our editorial office. How pleasant it is to be the editor with numerous interesting pieces of writing at hand – be they academic contributions or discussions and news from the field. And not only this – despite these strange times, there is also news from the surveying societies, even though their activities had to be adapted to special measures. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! This issue does not feature exceptional developments in Slovene science, but we have a promise to get a detailed report for the December issue. This refers to the successful launch of the first two Slovene satellites to orbit, which had been eagerly awaited since February. Some started to lose their confidence that this would ever happen… but the mission was accomplished! The success came in the year in which we are celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the establishment of the first flight crew for photogrammetric recording in Slovenia (we covered this in the previous issue). On Thursday, 9/3/2020, at 3:51 CEST, a Vega rocket lifted off from French Guiana to deliver 53 satellites, among which are the first Slovene microsatellite NEMO-HD and the first Slovene nanosatellite TRISAT. To return to the solid ground, we cannot neglect the news that arrived from our colleagues in Austria, also at the beginning of September. Our Austrian peers, who set up an initiative to submit the terrain-survey heritage for the inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List, informed us that they managed to obtain the support of their Ministry of Culture to start preparing the documentation necessary for the nomination by UNESCO. A special thematic study is being prepared that will include the countries that have expressed an interest in cooperation. As some of you may know, the initiative stretches a few years back, and our profession is actively involved through the Association of Surveyors of Slovenia and with the support of the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering in Ljubljana, as well as the Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia. We have gathered suggestions for boundary stones and geodetic points of exceptional value. I would like to use this opportunity to express my gratitude to everybody who has already sent us your contributions. They helped us to compose a list of exceptional boundary markers and geodetic points in Slovenia, which will with no doubt be further discussed in professional circles. Moreover, there is another piece of important news: on Friday, 4 th September 2020, we elected a new president of the Association of the Surveyors of Slovenia. Sincere congratulations to Mr Gregor Klemenčič! | 299 | GEODETSKI VESTNIK | 64/3 | UVODNIK | EDITORIAL I would also like to thank Blaž Mozetič for everything he has done, and predominantly for his firm belief that it is possible to achieve everything with common efforts! The success of the association can only be measured by the success and activity of its members. All our achievements and memories are predominantly the contribution of numerous members of the societies that strive for the benefit of the profession voluntarily and with sincere intentions. It has been an honour to be in the same boat with you, even though we had to overcome some difficulties. However, nothing is difficult if you are surrounded by sincere and motivated people. A famous Slovene song goes: Among sincere people, everything is as easy as a clear day. I am firmly convinced that the new leadership, which is being formed at the moment, will follow the guidelines that were developed and were generally accepted by the members of the societies in the past years. May the Association of Surveyors of Slovenia remain the driving force behind local societies, our common voice on the level of the state, at the same time maintaining and strengthening ties with other professions and professional associations abroad. With sincere wishes for all the best to the new leadership!
