Geography is the study of overall relationship, interconnection and correlation of natural and social components including processes on the Earth’s surface, which build regional structure and landscape image. The paper gives a condensed historical overview of the development of the Slovenian geography. Scientific research activities, pedagogical organisation, prevailing ideology, international collaborations and publicity are chronologically presented following particular historical periods. This third part of the review on the development of Slovenian geography focuses on the newest period after Slovenia’s independence, characterised by the fourth and fifth generations of Slovenian geographers. Alongside with the advance of computer science and digital technology, the individualism progressively became overrun by teamwork. The independence of Slovenia aided in the publication of fundamental geographical books, which had been already designed for decades by older generations of geographers. When Slovenia became a part of European Union European transnational research projects gained importance. At the end of this paper, we summarise the development of historical geography, a branch where history and geography interlace the most.
