The Institute of Anthropological and Spatial Studies at the Scientific Research Centre (ZRC SAZU), Slovene Academy of Science and Arts combines anthropological studies with the advancement and applications of remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) methods and techniques. Anthropological studies are focused on socio-anthropological research in Papua New Guinea, Albania, Burkina Faso and Slovenia, as well as on the archaeology and archaeoastronomy of Mesoamerica.


Developing the methodology of spatial analyses, which have an important role in its interpretations, the Institute takes into consideration specific problems under study and the nature of the research in which they are applied. Within the area of remote sensing research it investigates the problems of automatic satellite imagery registration and its advanced classification, paying particular attention to the development of new techniques of artificial intelligence and modelling. GIS studies include an innovative generation of variables which are important in environment modelling, statistical analyses of their significance, cognitive cartography techniques and natural and cultural landscape modelling.

The roots of the Institute go back to 1994, when the Spatial Information Centre (PIC) was established within ZRC SAZU, headed by Dr Zoran Stančič. In 2004 the constant growth of PIC and expansion of areas of research resulted in its expansion into the Institute of Anthropological and Spatial Studies (IAPŠ).

The researchers at the Institute are publishing scientific articles and monographies, the contents and the presentations of the authors of the publications are accessible at the official website.
