The first study, entitled “Spatial and environmental values”, was carried out as part of the research project CRP - “Slovenia's competitiveness 2001-2006”, conducted by the Centre for Spatial Sociology (CSS) of the Faculty of Social Sciences, the University of Ljubljana in 2004. The key question was how to reconcile the common social, i.e. public, developmental objectives with people’s individual, personal values. The main purpose of the study was to determine how the population of Slovenia perceives the environment, their living space and the processes within. The second study, entitled “Public opinion research of social values on space and environment: longitudinal study between 2003 and 2008”, was carried out in 2018 as part of the public opinion values survey and focuses on a more detailed identification of the (dis)agreements between the national spatial strategies and the growing reflexivity of individuals concerning environmental opinions and approaches to land use. A more accurate measuring instrument was developed for analyzing the anticipated changes in the population's preferences for dispersed or contiguous settlement.

The data file covers only the variables that occurred in both studies and includes 2052 units. Data in both studies were collected by a field survey.
